    Mr. Yakkerboo

    Short film created by Platypus Posse inspired by the Pakenham, Victoria mascott, Yakkerboo; the friendly, bunyip, swamp creature. Riley wanders into Mr. Yakkerboo’s travel agency and is taken across Australia on a surreal adventure ending at Mt. Ulruru.

    Panels

    • Communication • Conflict Management • Creative Thinking Cross-disciplinary Thinking • Feedback • File and Data Management • Multitasking • Positive Attitude Public Spaking Teamwork • Troubleshooting •

    A short story about two mothers saving their precious family memories from data leaks.

    “Panels” is a fictional advert addressing the real-world issue of unsafe cloud services. As Producer and Project Lead, I managed task delegation, scheduling, and file organization, while keeping detailed minutes and daily progress reports. Alongside production duties, I contributed hands-on with rigging, physics dynamics, rendering, post-production, and 2D effects. I also pitched the project to other groups to recruit freelancers, honing my communication, leadership, and teamwork skills throughout the process.

    Gimmick and Bolt

    • Communication • Creative Thinking • Cross-disciplinary Thinking • File and Data Management • Multitasking • Public Speaking • Teamwork •

    Dynamic duo trying to escape from prison in the depths of space, but respawn every time they die; retaining their memories after every reset.

    “Gimmick and Bolt” is a feature animation by Jukebox. I was technical director where my roles surrounded ideas and functionality of the different technologies and technical aspects used in the production and audio engineering and voice acting. 3D animation rigging involving programming for more detailed joints and movements, Omniverse server integration and motion capture were some known credited tasks. As I was testing for the collaborative server, I was responsible for file and data management for the entire feature. Critical thinking, audience testing and presentation were all heavy parts for getting greenlit and out of pre-production.

    On Ice

    Short film created by Plumb Studios. After awakening from a coma, Lola finds herself trapped in her basement with a robot caretaker, Kla-Ra, who doesn’t seem to be exactly what it seems.

    My role in this production was audio, specifically the voices. I built modular recording booths with recording equipment and helped direct voice lines and efforts and directed variations. After recording, it was my task to robotimize Kla-Ra’s voice in a way which did not destroy the acting. I also assisted with technical rigging where I created Mel Script to influence Kla-Ra’s IK rig to move and rotate appropriately to the model.
