A stop-motion short produced for College for Creative Studies (CCS) as part of my Marketing Internship. This was my first attempt at a self-produced stop-motion film, but I loved the challenge of learning and adapting to a completely different workflow to my usual digital animation process. The entire production process, from storyboarding and sculpting to compositing, took place during the summer of 2023. Responsible for concept, modeling, animation and production. Thanks to my great friends, Jack Chisik (Digital Animation) and Jaylen Corbin (Sound Design), as well as Professor Kevin Coyle.

This self-produced short film serves as my senior thesis. The film depicts a woman\'s relationship with her mother, represented by the crumbling house that she is attempting to escape while also preserving it. I explored themes of empty nest syndrome, grief and everlasting care from a daughter\'s perspective. This film is dedicated to my mother.

Cookie the Clown is tasked with baking a cake for God\'s birthday. I was responsible for storyboarding, props and model sheets, and some full shots (roughs, tiedowns, line and color).
