The fundraiser for Memento Mori is almost ready to launch! One of the items being offered will be one of a VERY LIMITED RUN of DVDs, with a handmade DVD booklet. These Verbatim DVD+Rs will be $15 (+ shipping) and are hand encoded by my father, who knows a lot more about encoding DVDs than I do.

TONIGHT! At the University of Central Florida's visual art building, Memento Mori's thesis defense cut will be showing! If you're in the area around 6:30-7PM, come on down! I'll also be present doing some fundraising for the upcoming film festival circuit—If you donate, you can get a SIGNED print from one of these 3 options:
There are also sticker sheets!
Now that Memento Mori has passed thesis defense, I'm revamping the website to include a lot of my research and behind-the-scenes materials. It's super exciting to work on!
Sometime soon I will be editing a trailer for it, which will likely release late April or during May. It depends on whether or not I want to post it before the Cast & Crew Test Screening on May 1st at UCF.
Quick illustrations of Red, Dead Human Walking, and (as a little bonus) Blue for my final presentation pre-thesis defense. While Red's scythe manifests as a shepherd's crook when she's not using it to illustrate her viewing the role of Grim Reaper as a guide to the afterlife, Blue's takes the form of a baseball bat to suit their rough-and-tumble personality and the way they've had the luxury of refusing to let their job be their personality.
Background texturing for Memento Mori has been completely finished at last! After wrangling a variety of technical issues including learning Blender 4.2 doesn't always have a default HDRI for rendering, I've come up with a simple and effective pipeline that prioritizes keeping render times down (made even easier by using Eevee) while still looking the way it needs to.

The spring semester has finally finished and I can share the most up to date cut of Memento Mori! Featuring the voice talents of Link Stewart and Mystic Waterz, with background models by Carolina Rapp, this animatic is essentially the closest thing to the finalized version of the film that I'll be publishing. I want the final look to be a surprise, after all!
Style frame for Memento Mori featuring a proxy 3D background. This semester I'm working with classmates to get the city block modeled, which is very exciting!
Here are the most-recent beatboards for Memento Mori! Done in August 2024, these lay out the 6 core beats of the story: the establishing shot, Dead Human Walking's demise, their confrontation with their own afterlife (3 and 4), their conflict with Red, and finally, the finale, where they wake up in the hospital bed. The style isn't reflective of the final product; this was an exploration in colour palettes, which is why Dead Human Walking's dress colour changes after panel 2; I decided a nice, deep blue would play better with their skin tone and help them stand out from the background.
These were also drawn pretty much the minute my surgeon cleared me to draw post-surgery, so they're a little rough, haha.

Here's individual uploads of all of the pattern strips I've made for Memento Mori so far! I'm working on figuring out a way to put these into a "bank" or "pool" for Blender to draw from and mix-and-match into .PNG sequences to put on my environment sculpts. But if that doesn't work out, I've been manually assembling them into individual UV maps for each building. All drawn and animated in Clip Studio Paint!

If anyone here has a BlueSky, my artwork for this film is also available over there!
Here is a current, very rough WIP animatic of Memento Mori (So Make the Most of it!), uploaded initially for a post on Casting Call Club, but I haven't had much to share here yet given I'm in the weeds on the final touches of preproduction right now. I figured I'd share it.
Completed turnaround for Red Reaper, showcasing her final design
Series of 'prop design' sketches from my VisDev class. At first I was going to have a regular-looking car, but decided to go with a food truck at the last minute when Cinco De Taco's tacky design came to me abruptly. I figure that would really be the peak symbolization of the way capitalism kills.
Additionally, some explorations for the door the ghost would walk through to their afterlife. I'm messing around with decidedly-not-doorike door shapes.

A slew of character designs for a secondary character in my upcoming graduate film, who I've been referring to as Dead Human Walking. Their role in the story is to die immediately, and then have to grapple with their own death, so I've been entertaining a wide variety of faces for them.
Character design explorations for Red Reaper. I haven't settled on a final design for her yet colour-wise, but I've got everything else figured out for her!
