    uniE621 Pink FLoyd
    A music short made as an entry for the official Pink Floyd competition, "Backside of the Moon", for the song Brain Damage. I did art directing, animating, and editing. Animation following the song's lyrics explores themes of insanity and political control. There was a partial experimentation with Runway ML to create some of the backgrounds. animation
    uniE621 Rotten Dawn
    A short animated film that follows the journey of a bartender struggling with the effects of his job, such as sleep deprivation and stress, while also facing personal life challenges. The short highlights the deeper impact of the nightlife industry and the human side of it, often overlooked by both customers and venue owners. animation
