Rick - Rick and Morty
Based on Rick, from the Adult Swim series Rick and Morty.

Baile de los Muertos
Baile de los Muertos is my in-progress thesis film at the Rochester Institute of Technology! It is a short film about the Mexican holiday el Dia de los Muertos, or, the Day of the Dead. It features two characters, Felix and Abi, whose fabrication progress you can view below!
Sheep's Clothing
Sheep's Clothing was produced, start to finish, in fifteen weeks during my Junior year. A twist on the classic Little Red Riding Hood fairytale, the film features four different puppets all made of wood, wire and Sculpey. To see them in action, please go here!
Muse
Muse was produced in ten weeks during my Sophomore year! This film had only one puppet, which was animated first, before the addition of a second, 2-D character. Made primarily of wood and wire, you can see this guy in action here!
