Animated shorts - Spring 2022

These projects are a selection of works from Chris E. Vargas' 2D Experimental Animation class. The works utilize rotoscope (frame-by-frame tracing of live-action footage), 2D camera-based stop-motion (using materials ranging from cut paper to paint-on-glass), digital animation (using Adobe After Effects and Animate), and a variety of other techniques. Enjoy!
