Animation Work - Logos and Skits
Soul (and a Cherry Coke) - 2025 (WIP!)
Initially a skit I intended to animate years ago, I pulled it out of the archives to take a stab at lip sync and freshen up some other skills in Adobe Animate. Came out well thus far, just needs touch ups, background work and FX. Oh yeah, and to finish those last two characters!
Bug, Outnumbered (Update WIP - Original created in 2007)
A short film I completed as part of my portfolio during by BFA Media Arts & Animation studies at AIPX. I unearthed this recently (aka found it deep in my HDD space) and began the process of re-editing it in Final Cut Pro. This version so far only has the audio updated, but I plan to have it full redone and “remastered” by summer.
Roknin Logo (2015)
Created in Flash for intros to my channel’s videos. The particle creation was an interesting process, as it was all smaller pieces tied together using shape tweens to get a very specific lighting that matches Atari 5600 games.
Process vids still exist for this, which honestly surprises me!
Roknin Gaming Logo (2014)
Previous logo for my channel, similar in direction to the 2017 version. A bit more of a “ninja” focus, with the idea being a title screen to an NES game (complete with flashing Press Start logo!).
Akinink! Art Logo (2012)
Animated in Flash, used for various videos leaning more on the creative side. The squid is not shape tweened, but rather drawn frame-by-frame and drawn in a “smear” style to give it better motion.
