Below is a wide range of creative projects and artforms that have at some point gained obsessive attention from me, from animation to music composition\u00a0to business startup. \u00a0I have broken them down into the following bolded categories.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Digital Shorts &amp; Animations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These motion-picture samples represent my excitement in creating believable and relatable characters through animation and live-action. \u00a0You&#8217;ll also notice my fascination with bringing them into the &#8220;real world&#8221; by merging animation with live action and real spaces. You can view small descriptions of each piece by clicking the &#8220;vimeo&#8221; or &#8220;youtube&#8221; link at the bottom right of an open video.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p3-lightbox-gallery-thumbs\"
