ANIMATION

* (Someday) Possible New Film in Progress about an “Invisible” Friend:

In other words, people I meet on the average subway ride*


Senior Thesis: the yearlong degree project
Film synopsis: Blob + Tail = Goldfish.

This is my Senior Degree Project (Thesis) done at the Rhode Island School of Design. (RISD)

Although “Wall Pets” appears to be water colored, it was actually “colored” in Photoshop and only animated by hand.

This technique came about during the summer before “Wall Pets”; my internship at KBS had encouraged me to use Photoshop to “artistically rotoscope” various live action footage. In order to digitally emulate the watercolor look, I colored one frame with much more care, and then afterwards, I simplified the process into a repetition of copying, pasting, rotating and re-sizing.

To comply with the simple nature of goldifsh, I also wanted the sound design to retain simplicity. The entire sound design was magically completed with the RISD library’s collection of Sound Effects CDs, by me, with much ease (an hour or so) and for no additional charges.

Despite its overall simpleness– ”Wall Pets” was so far, nonetheless, accepted to the following competitions and festivals for the year of 2009:


Accolade Competition; Animazing! Spotlightsanimazing_nominee; Animation Block Party (ABP) ABP_logo; Bulldog Student Film Festival (”Judges Award”); Chinh India Kids Film Festival.

And for 2010: Boston Underground Film Festival (BUFF)

Although it did not win an award at the ABP 2009, Casey Safron (the festival director) has kindly included “Wall Pets” in their ABP 2010 DVD– because (in his own words!) “well received.” YEA! This DVD is now being sold via Amazon.com, and each time you do buy it, I will be making 1 % from its sales.

This was my Junior Thesis for the fall semester.I like two things: The sound design & the illustration of the rain with the acetate sheets.It was an animation based on a Haiku. The animation process involved paper puppets, AND acetate sheets that were punctured with a sewing machine– in order to simulate rain.
