Animated Shorts

Tale Me Home and Sidekick are two animated shorts which showcases my skills as a cg artist doing lighting and character effects.

I worked on two animated short films, Take Me Home and Sidekick, during my time at Academy of Art University. Take Me Home is about an impounded dog competing for attention to its potential owner, while Sidekick is about farmer trying to get his Donkey to do work.

I was one of the lead technical directors for Take Me Home, where i focused on shading, lighting, rendering, grooming, and character effects. I established final lighting for the hero shots, and helped fellow lighters on troubleshooting and finishing their shots. I also fully groomed the dog hair, cotton, and hair. For Sidekick, I focused on character effects, mainly grooming the the fur of the donkey and establish preliminary outdoor lighting for shots.
