    uniE608 Its not easy being green
    This scene used audio from the 2000 Jim Carrey film: 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas' as it involves my original character 'Spindlecrought' simply trying to hail a cab. For this scene I wanted to try something different to the original as the movement was very stilted and I wanted to work with more than what I was given due to the short lengh so I made sure to exaggerate some movements and even put an emphasis on certain things. The end of the scene is inspired by Jack Kirby as well as the Marvel Comics character: Galactus editing 2d animation 2danimation cartoon illustration oc originalcharacter movie…
    uniE608 Aqua Teen Hunger Force Reanimated Collab Contribution
    This scene was based on the pilot epsiode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force simply titled: 'Rabbot' Since Aqua Teen Hunger Force already has limited animation, I wanted to put emphasis on more animation to show off my skills so I made sure to take creative liberties by exaggerating movements and putting emphasis on certain words or phrases the characters would say. reanimated collaboration contribution editing 2d animation 2danimation cartoon illustration aquateenhungerforce adultswim voluntarywork…

    uniE608 Smiling Friends Reanimated Collab Contribution I
    This scene was based on the season 1 Smiling Friends episode titled: 'Desmond's Big Day Out' For this scene I wanted to go all out on the visual gags. In the original scene there are plenty of background gags with the graffiti on the wall as well as the baby running. So in addition I included my own graffiti gags (including a reference to another Adult Swim series: Aqua Teen Hunger Force) as well as the inclusion of Alan crawling through the holes in the wall looking for his cheese, a wanted poster for said cheese and some stock images depicting outer space as an astronaut hovers behind the window. reanimated collaboration contribution editing 2d animation 2danimation cartoon illustration smilingfriends adultswim voluntarywork…
