Nightmare Project (2018)
This is the first project for ANIM-200. The nightmare project. We were tasked with creating an animation in the horror genre. There was a lot of process presentation in class complete with critique.
This project taught me to really cut away to a single refined idea. I learned this the hard way of course, but I am pleased with the outcome.

Final process research. Turtle teeth among others.
A slice of the process, choose one of three ideas presented.
Idea one: drawing upon an anxiety fueled nightmare.
Idea two: referencing The Skin of Evil, a Star Trek (next gen.) episode.
Idea three: similar to idea two but mixing it with a few other, less recent, nightmares.
During this project it was useful only to show the research process that was relevant to a chosen direction.
What does horror look like?
