Space Writer

A woman living in space, but unable to live the space adventurer life. Created as part of a fast turnaround story idea program. Iā€™m currently working on fleshing this idea out into a more cohesive short story.

NBA 2K16

A fast set of first draft storyboards I did for Visual Concepts. Sadly most of this was cut out of the final in game cinematics.


Loose Cannon Claptrap - Tales from the Crimson Raiders HQ

Student produced short animation done in collaboration with 2K/Gearbox Software and the Academy of Art University. This was part of three animations that were produced as the result of a student competition to write and pitch story concepts to the 2K & Gearbox staff.

I was the writer, storyboard artist, and director for the short. I also oversaw development of voiceover, sound effects, music, lighting, and general effects

The final set of working storyboards for the Loose Canon Claptrap short.


Max's Adventure

Max's Adventure is a children's story app that was designed to incorporate cinematic story animations along with player controlled mini games. The story featured a multi-path story where intro animations would change depending on player choices. The flying segment below was one part, the others were a jungle explorer, a deep sea diver, and a pirate ship captain.
