TV vs Controller
A TV and an old-school video-game controller get into an argument that turns for the worst. This short was animated and created all in Maya. TV Vs. Controller is a homage to the classic cartoons of the 1930s and 1940s that utilizes 2D animation principles such as squash and stretch to give off a more cartoonish feel.

Chasing The Bag
Our once famous boxer, Richard “Dick” Dunning-Kruger Jr.,
has fallen on some hard times. He can’t get enough of his favorite
activity, however, gambling. Perhaps a spontaneous day at the
casino will bring him some luck?
This film was my animation studios (Penkle) first short animated film. I Directed, Wrote, and animated some scenes for the short film.

Something 2000's
Finding an old camcorder in his basement, Roach relives his childhood memories growing up in the early 2000's.
This short features a combination of traditionally 2D hand-drawn animation and rotoscoped animated backgrounds.
The goal for the film was to take the viewer back to the 2000's visually, a time period that does not get enough love. The short film is also accompanied by Ska Punk, a genre of music that was once very popular in the late 90s and early 2000s.
