With a Little Help from My Friends

It didn't take me very long to realize I was way in over my head this semester. After weighing my options, I decided to try asking for help. Students and recent alumni have come through big time—donating their time to help me get it all done. I could not be more grateful.

Autumn and Danielle helped to cut-out and rig this vine element. 

Costuming for Underwater

Still a ways to go on costuming this marionette, but she's headed in the right direction.

Halfway Point! Process Reel:

After a productive internship in New York City this summer, I'm back in the studio at CCS in Detroit and hard at work on this film. I have decided to make a few aesthetic changes to the film. These changes will not only better facilitate the story, but they will also allow what I learned over the summer to influence the art direction of the film and help me stay on schedule. 

Below is a process reel I made to give an overview of the work I have put into the film so far. The reel includes ideation, process, material scouting, and tests. Enjoy!

PS: The last plate says 2014... but it's a lie. It should say 2015. Don't trust the internet, folks.
