Selected Non-publications

Animations:

The Manlauncher -- a (translated) poem by Henri Michaux which I read and animated as a solo project using Flash.
Eye to Eye -- a short animation group project I did for a class at CMU. I did the story and storyboard for this one, as well as a good deal of animation, and a bit of modeling (using Maya, primarily).
Free -- an earlier short animation group project I did at CMU. For this one I mainly did peep decapitation scene (did the animation and made a custom maya shader for it) and the bird's shocked reaction. (Again, done with Maya)
