Experiements

2019-2023


This is a collection of past experiments that I feel represent me as an artist.

This work ranges from stop motion animation to 3D modeled videos, all coming from my time exploring my style in UCLAs Design and Media Arts program.



Stop Motion Experiments

Claymation and stop motion experiments that showcase character design, set design, and various styles of animation.



Extras & Behind the Scenes︎
