Character Production
I was responsible for the modeling, rigging, and texturing for our two human characters and the texturing and rigging of MDW.

MDW was our biggest technical challenge. Being a fictional monster, I referenced a variety of different animals and monsters to achieve his look and his rig. We looked to lobsters, beetles, snakes, leeches, worms, and the creatures in Netflix's The Sea Beast.
Ellery Stocker is responsible for MDW's model.
Responsible for breakdown videos and development of rig skeleton. Ellery Stocker is responsible for weight-painting, sand simulation, character animation, and ab displacement texture in the above video
Set and Asset Production
As lead environment, prop, and surfacing artist, I worked hard on creating a consistent look for the film's surfacing and modeling style. I took inspiration from The Bachelorette and loosely Pixar's Luca.
All sets and most props were modeled, UVed, rigged, and textured by me.
Ellery Stocker is responsible for the Rose 3d model featured in the film.
Lighting and Compositing
I was the lead artist for all lighting and compositing for this film. In collaboration with Ellery, we developed concept color keys and using a collection of reference I was able to create the lighting that highlighted the characters as well as the tone of the scenes.
