    SURFACE LEVEL

    (TO VIEW THE 360 VIDEO, YOU MUST WATCH DIRECTLY ON YOUTUBE) This short film was created for my senior thesis. It was created to be viewed inside a planetarium, hence the video being formatted the way it is. Being rendered for a planetarium, there was no proper way for it to be uploaded to YouTube unless I uploaded it as a circle. That led to me modeling a mini planetarium inside of blender and creating a 360 video of it, to simulate what it looked like inside of the planetarium.

    Thank you to Twoleggedzoo who let me use his music as a backing ambiance in different parts of the film.

  • Bisons Race Car Night

    Bisons Race Car Night

    This short animation was made for the Buffalo Bisons Race Car night, a sponsorship with Watkins Glen and the Buffalo Bisons. I made it with one of my fellow interns, Tyler. He made most of the animations and modeled the scenery and a couple mascots. I modeled two of the mascots, the NASCAR cars, and also designed each of the title cards for the mascots. I also designed the final RACE CAR NIGHT end card.

    This little guy was made for my 3D animation 1 class. We were tasked to create a character and then make said character walk. It’s name is Whankle Tongue, and its scientific name is Whanklus Tongsurian.

  • Hockey Animation Study

    Hockey Animation Study

    As a personal study project, I chose to create Stanley Cup Champion win animations for the 2025 NHL season. I created two as I was not sure which team was going to win. The Stanley Cup model was found online, while everything else was modeled by me. I do not claim the rights to any of the teams logos nor any NHL property and this was mainly for personal study.

  • The Ceremony

    The Ceremony

    This short film was featured in the Burchfield Penney Art Center’s 2026 Student Exhibition. It was made for a project in my 3D Animation II class where we had to create an advanced character.

  • Cathedraphobia

    Cathedraphobia

    This was an immersive video study, rendered specifically for my campuses planetarium where it was projected onto a spherical ceiling. We had to export in 4096 x 4096, as this was the quality of the projector. It forced us to think outside of the box when it comes to perspective on a 2D screen.

    Another angle of the sea of IKEA chairs.

    The first draft of the sea. A few weeks before starting this project, I had made a geometry nodes setup that distributed an object across faces. This unknowingly led to the immersive video project.

    An experimental version of the chairs, closer to the fog/atmosphere.
