~ Coffee Break ~
The grumpiest and buff-est clown you will ever see! I created this animation based on this exact thought. I envisioned a clown with a huge build wearing a fed up expression on his face, at a children's party. I found this to be so amusing that I created a humorous animation based on this idea. Ultimately I wanted the animation to end on a funny, unexpected and slightly ironic twist. |

When I came up with this character I wanted to portray an angry looking person whom you wouldn't want to annoy. Ironically he actually has a considerate and caring side.
The idea for the animation would revolve around the clown's attempt to relax with his much needed coffee, as two children seem to make it a challenge through varied means. I wanted to demonstrate the clown's considerate side by introducing a small girl who attempts to befriend him. Although the clown is too focused on his coffee, he feels the need to spare her feelings as best as he can. On the other hand I also wanted a character to just plainly annoy the clown. I introduced a young boy who would demand his attention and expect him to continue to perform for him. |

~ ANIMATICS & PARTICLE EFFECTS ~
These are the original animatics for the full production.
By referring to this I was able to ensure that the angles and timing would work. |
This is a look at the technical aspect of the feature.
This is a short explanation for how the particle effects were created. |

~ The Mechanical Battle Wasp ~
My original design for a live robotic wasp. I imagine that this would be used for fighting as well as transport. Therefore I have decided to base some of its appeal on that of a motorbike. I have created the design to feature multiple states of transformation: Regular or Casual mode- Aggressive and Battle mode- Defense and Speed mode- |

This is a small clip which displays the key components to the wasp's design. Finishing with a quick animation of the wasp activating a whiplash effect as it transforms from its casual form to Battle mode! |

~ ANIMATED EXAMPLES ~
Here is a small video with both poses of the model rotating a full turn. I have used the feminine pose as well as the action pose in order to demonstrate the two types of personality. |

This dance routine was personally recorded by myself through the use of motion capture technology. The dance reflects on the personality and charisma of the character in a display of crazy actions as well as a couple of tricks! ;) |

~ POKEMON ~
|
These are few models and an animation based on the Pokemon franchise. I was able to accurately portray the likeness and represent the personality through the mannerisms. This animation I managed to complete in one evening. From modelling, texturing, rigging, animating and rendering.
