Animator and Illustrator
For this Gravitivity course, I decided to create a series of looping animations using Blender. The three animations are all a combination of 2D and 3D animation techniques, and are a visual representation of every day objects in anti-gravity space. The goal is to be in theme with the new anti-gravity world that we created through the Gravitivity course. I wanted it emulate the futuristic, colorful and and innovative vision I had for this new world through animation. I also created the anti-gravity Cat illustrations for the pop culture magazine.

In order to really emphasize their different but equally powerful strengths, Avery made sure to focus on placing them dynamically among the page.

I wanted the projects I worked on this semester to be emblematic of what I enjoy making as a creator, but I was entirely pleased to use Professor Neal as an inspiration, both directly and as a guide. With him as the centerpiece of the project I worked on the most this semester, I had to make it look as grand as the man himself, so I hope the amount of polish I put into that piece can be seen. But even without his direst placement into my work he still had a role in guiding and inspiring me throughout this course. After all, the idea for creating anti-gravity devices was his from the start, he only asked me if I could make them into an artistic representation. I worked on all of my projects on my own, and after having worked on them for so long and with so many hours of effort being put into them, I'm happy to say that I'm proud with what I've created. The animated version of the logo is the first real 3D animation that I've done before and I am extremely pleased with how much I've learned over the course of the semester.
