Also for the Intro to Theater and Dance (history segments) these are some of the modes of transport that illustrate the travel of theater between parts of the world. Each mode of transport (mostly ships) is illustrated in a style that matches prevailing visual styles in the region at the time.
Redoing the kincaid creatures interactive in canvasser, we had to add conditionals (true/false statements) to canvasser to get this one to work:

One of the challenges of redoing TBH was to redo the animations, especially the rain animations. The current way Canvasser worked meant that for each rain drop we would need a separate animation with a separate object, which meant ALOT of objects. Ruben and I (mostly Ruben) came up with the idea of using a particle system with raindrops as the individual particles. We think it looks more natural and is also a lot easier to implement. Here are the before and after videos:
Worked on the Cascade tutorial with Ben, here’s the final result:
We were given the task of creating short animations which will be used in the Powerpoints of an online Russian class in the fall. The animations weren’t too hard to make, although it is quite time consuming. It also doesn’t help that Adobe Animate starts moving like a snail when lots of assets are added. Nonetheless, the end result is quite amusing since I aimed for over exaggerated features and movements. Here are the 3 I’ve made so far.
The African & African Dispora Studies Department requested for the banner on their department website to be changed, along with their identity graphic. I replaced the images by using Cascade and they’re now on the live website.
