Walking the Dead is a short animated film about a dog whose owner had previously been turned into a zombie, and now he must learn to reverse the roles of owner and pet in order to continue on with their lives.
This was my most intensive college-level animation project, spanning over a year and a half from pre-production to final product. I worked with Adobe Flash for the entirety of the project from storyboard to animation. I altered between puppet and frame-by-frame animation in Flash, depending on what I thought each shot needed more. Compositing and special effects were completed in both Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro.
Original music by the amazing Jarryd Elias.

Octopie is a short animated film about a young octopus who just wants to have fun, but instead gets pushed away. After failing in her attempts, she winds up making an unexpected friend.
This was my first full animated short, completed during my Sophomore year at RIT. Everything was done completely in Adobe Flash, save for final compositing and titles, in Adobe Premiere Pro.
