Reel Breakdown:

 

X-Chromosome: Behind the Kiss (2002)
In this hour-long program made up of short animated films and celebrity interviews directed by Corky Quakenbush of Space Bass Films for the Oxygen Network, I worked as animator and simultaneously held the position of lead sculptor, directing the sculpture department in their production of puppets. The first clip of my animation is from Xena, Warrior Princess Diaries and the second is from Romeo and J-Lo-et.

 

Player’s Paradise: Undress Yourself (2001)
This spoof of Madonna’s Human Nature music video is an excerpt from Players Paradise produced by Space Bass Films, directed by Corky Quakenbush for VH1. I animated this sequence and sculpted the original models for the bodies. I animated many scenes, sculpted faces and bodies, made Madonna’s dog and sewed costumes for this project.

 

That 70’s Show: Christmas Special (2001)
I made Rudolf and did most of the animation for this project directed by Corky Quakenbush of Space Bass Films for Fox.
