ROOTS
I designed, built, and decorated Isabel’s room set for Roots (mixed stop motion and 2D animated short) by Sandra Suarez
Roots premiered at LALIFF film festival in Los Angeles in 2024
wallpaper designed by Sandra, most of the set elements handmade by me
(1:6 scale)
“The Alien” was my final project in the Aardman Academy Stop Motion 2 class in 2022.
while this fella is expressing skepticism about aliens, a UFO lands outside his window and an alien sneaks in and freezes him mid-sentence
while our guy is frozen, the alien makes itself at home reading his magazines, drinking his beer, watching his TV and running around with a lampshade on its head
(and trying on his shoes)
“The Alien.”
the set from a short animated card I made for a set decorator’s retirement
(the video)
happy new year, 2022!
someday there will be a good year!
here are some rejects and remnants from Aardman class exercises which I found amusing, for your viewing pleasure (or displeasure)
good evening
week 1 animation class exercise – everyone starts with a penny slide, but I had to cat it up
wormin around (audio belongs to Aardman on all these videos btw. Thanks Aardman!)
I stuck wire in these guys at my mom’s place and put them to work
