Exploder: Evacuator Pt. 2

For a 2D Animation class, I was asked to create an animation based on a plot. For this I used the audio from "Exploder: Evacuator Pt. 2", a fictitious film advertised on the in-game radio stations within "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" by Rockstar Games. This animation was crated using Flash Professional and ActionScript 3.

2D Animation Sequence

Animation of humanoid creatures is an important principle. I was asked to create three distinct action sequences for a character in a 2D Animation class. The character, "sad frog", is seen walking, running, and sneaking. This animation was created using Flash Professional and ActionScript 3.

2D Rotoscope Animation

Creating animation based on existing footage is indispensable to an animator. For a 2D Animation class, I was asked to find a video which included complex animation (facial expression changes, varying movements, etc…) and create a rotoscope of it. The result is this video, which I rotoscoped using Photoshop. I used Adobe Premiere to add the title/credits and audio sync.

"Mekgineer's Chopper"

In 2009, while playing World of Warcraft, I was attempting to get a rare mount, called the "Mekgineer's Chopper". It is a motorcycle and costs a large amount of in-game currency. After getting this gold, I made a video showcasing me crafting the item and using it. This was done in my free time and uses music by "Girl Talk" which is Creative Commons licensed. The video was recorded using Fraps and edited using Windows Movie Maker.
