Showreel

The story of who I am, told the way I know how to tell it — in motion. Built frame by frame in After Effects. This is an early preview; the finished reel is still in progress.

Behind the process

Before anything moves, the story gets found — the moments worth animating, sketched and refined until the pieces hold together as one sequence.

04 / Animatic

Putting the storyboard in motion

Storyboard and style frames, roughly timed together — pacing and rhythm tested before committing to full animation.

05 / Style Frames

Locking color, light, composition

Eighteen polished reference frames establish the finished visual direction before full animation production begins.

06 / The Idea

Why this reel exists

This isn't a reel built to show off transitions — it's my own story, told the way I'd want someone meeting me for the first time to see it. Simple, honest movement, with enough restraint to let the story carry the frame instead of the effects.

01Story first — every scene earns its place in the narrative, not the other way around
02Written, storyboarded, animated and edited entirely by me
03No character rigging yet — this is concept and story, not a finished animation pipeline
04Still evolving — this is a preview, with the full reel still ahead
