Wonder Junction VBS Animated Promo

Another year has passed, and another animated marketing promo has been completed for VBS 2025.

Senior Project Animatic

This is what I worked on all of last semester in Senior Project. Even though I had a lot of this piece animated last year in After Effects, I had some inconsistencies and this big pit of unknown riding with it. So, this past semester I worked it all out in Toon-Boom, kept it simple...

Kinetic Concepts, Inc. Internship

Well, I've been using blogspot for my blog for quite a few years now, and have now decided to move over to WordPress, simply for the better features and professionalism.
