In 2017 my wife and I produced 6 animated Vignettes for USC advanced technology division’s Virtual Research Navigator project. A virtual guide application to help patients at Children’s Hospital answer questions about onsite research studies.
Not only was I co-producer and co-director on this project I also was the primary character designer and storyboard artist. Entire production was done in Adobe Animate.
I put together a new animation Demo Reel for 2017. Including some of my newer personal work, and some of the professional work, showcasing more of my acting and traditional animation skills.
Animated Run cycle. I did this for some practice on my twitch channel. Used Adobe Illustrator to create the artwork and animated the character in Adobe Animate.
I animated a walk cycle for the Youtube Channel Draw With Jazza’s monthly contest. The theme for this month was the ministry of silly walks. Animated using Adobe Flash/Animate. Character was designed and built using Adobe Illustrator and Flash/Animate
