Popping the Question

Nervous but confident takes on one of the many mile stones of man hood, proposing to the girl, however it is not as easy as it may seem. Watch as Harold tries to propose to his beautiful girl friend Mel by concurring the trials placed before him.  

Based on a old script I made when I was in high school, Harold's tale is unique because it is neither over the top or slow. I like to put my character is situations where people can relate too. Such as loosing an important item in most unlikely places, or changing things last minute when the plan begins to fall apart. I think when I look back on this, I would have made this longer. Sadly, I was limited to a four page script. I would've added a few more scenes establishing the relationships between the three characters and pushed the circumstances a bit more.  However, I consider this a good first live action film. I hope you guys will enjoy the short. 

Photos - Portraits

During my Photojournalism class, I tried to focus on my lighting and shading in my photos. It was a bit rough in the beginning, but I got a good grasp of it by the end of the semester. I wanted to focus on lighting and shading because I find it to be essential towards story boarding. Trying to pin point how the light hits the subject or ways you can manipulate light to create a mood can really help covey a message to the audience.

Each of the portraits show a different mood and hopefully a different message. So I am pretty cool with that. I think with practice I would get a lot better, but I think I will stick to focus on improving my animation skills for now.
