2024 - 2026 Animation Demo Reel:
As my senior year of college comes close to an end, and my graduation from college draws near, I decided to put together an animation demo reel of the highlights of my work during my time at Samford University.
January - April 2026:
A Quiet Heist:
During the entirety of my Senior year of college's 2nd semester (January 2026 - April 2026), I created my senior capstone animation project, also known as "A Quiet Heist".
November 2025:
Superhero's First Flight (November 2025):
During the entirety of November 2025, I created an animation scene where a human, that just earned his new superpowers, tries to test out his new flying abilities across the city buildings.
I combined superhero clips from "Invincible," "Superman (2025)," and "Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse," and put them all together in order to help give me a good idea on how to make the character fly naturally around the city from start to finish.
October 2025:
"Abby-Normal" Scene (Young Frankenstein) (October 2025):
During the entirety of October 2025, I recreated a scene from the movie "Young Frankenstein" into an animation.
This is where I started to learn how to sync up audio with mouth movements, and be able to create proper facial expressions.
September 2025:
Torture Dance Looping Animation (September 2025):
During the entirety of September 2025, I tasked myself on creating a looping character animation. So I decided to recreate the Torture Dance from "Jojo's Bizzarre Adventure: Golden Wind."
My reference for this dance was using the scene from the anime, and sync it up with the timing of the character's quick, snappy posing.

Summer 2025 (May 2025 - August 2025):
Summer 2025 Animation Reel (May 2025 - August 2025):
Throughout this animation reel is everything that I created over the summer of 2025.
Juicebox and Sandbag Conflict (Summer 2025):
For reference for the sandbag, I used expressive panels of the magic carpet from Disney's "Aladdin" to help show human expression from the lifeless sandbag.
November 2024:
I spent around a week and-a-half creating some animation concepts in Maya, and then I learned how to import those animations into Unreal Engine. The following video below is the final results of the rendered animations.
August 2023 - December 2023:
Ball Dancing Scene:
Since I was beginning to learn about 3D animation, I created this little video to demonstrate an object moving as if it had the ability to speak since I learned about the comparison of puppeteering and animation.
Variations of Rendering:
Once I got a better understanding of animation, I learned how to render animations with better quality, reflections, and adding light.
