STORYBOARDS AND ANIMATICS
Hornet Reveal Trailer
This was my take on a ‘Super Smash Bros.’ style reveal trailer for the popular video game character, Hornet, from Hollow Knight Silksong.
This action-packed set of scenes shows a skirmish between Samus (Metroid), and Simon (Castlevania), as Kirby crash lands in the crossfire. Hornet reveals herself from the shadows to save him from certain demise, while we get to see what happens when two adventurers lock wits and attempt to counter each other’s arsenals.
Animatics
“Sprouts” (Act 1)
The first part of a larger animation project, following a secluded lumberjack out in the woods, doing his day to day things. There are a mix of storyboards and thumbnails to accommodate for changes in production schedule.
(Initial animatic edit by Trey Barone, revised by myself)
“The Pokémon Nuzlocke”
The introductory to a video about breaking the rules of popular Nintendo game Pokémon Shining Pearl, attempting to complete it with an arbitrary ruleset.
This animatic was the start of a large collaborative project, with multiple people involved in the production. I provided storyboards that were emotional, on model, and were clear.
“New Challenger Approaching”
The cold open to a chase scene between two characters, to culminate in a relatively niche character showing up to declare battle, all in the style of the trailers of Super Smash Bros.
This is my first action oriented animatic. I wanted to play up some slapstick comedy, complete with close calls, jovial facial expressions, and sweeping camera shots.
