The Nexus of Art and Science Modern Disney’s Use of Physics Magic Disney movies are famous and world renowned for many reasons, and rightfully so. Walt and his studio were key pioneers when it came to the close and careful study of how things moved, how weight shifted, and how people’s emotions and personalities could be conveyed in how they used their body. Their first feature-length movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves , was the result of all the dedicated study they had put in to how physics could be understood and visually recreated in a way that what the viewer saw on the screen could look believable, and they have been furthering that understanding in every film since then. Especially nowadays with the rise and now established norm of computer generated 3D animation, Disney films are still the shining example of what dedicated study, understanding, and faithful recreation of physics can do to make a truly fantastic story b...

Mini-Portfolio Here are some examples of some illustrations I've done while in the Animation/Illustration program: And here are some examples of some animation I've worked on while in the program as well: Ani 28 Demo Reel: Ani 51B Demo Reel: A quick bio: I was born in Southern California, grew up in Carlsbad and then later moved up to the Monterey area in 2004. I graduated community college and started attending SJSU in 2015, and I've been in the Animation/Illustration program ever since. I've always loved watching, analyzing, and acting along to animated movies and shows ever since I was little, and being in the major has really deepened my appreciation and understanding for all the work and thought that goes into making them.
Stop Motion Animation of Falling Here is my first stop motion animation simulating an object falling and bouncing: I went about creating my animation by taking several still images (roughly about 82 in all) of my plushie subject by placing it on a different position each time on the set. I had originally intended on using an actual table setup in my living room, but due to time-constraints and a lack of creativity on my part about how to efficiently suspend the subject in a desired manner for each frame, I decided to go with the overhead method and set up a series of blankets to simulate a 2D grid-view of a "table" and a "floor", with a different colored background to help set them apart. In order to get a believable angle I had to use a prop (in this case my wallet) to tilt the plushie so that it was leaning more towards the camera as if it were a straight-ahead shot. After that I uploaded my photos to my laptop and thumbdrive and used Adobe Premier Pro to ...
