This animation is my interpretation of the poem "The Brain Is Wider Than The Sky" by Emily Dickinson. The art style is intended to mimic a child's sketches of the poem's imagery. 

This stop-motion animation was created by taking pictures of construction paper cutouts that were moved by hand, and then compiling the images into a video sequence. 

Using Autodesk Maya, I created a 3D model based on an original character design I had previously hand drawn. I then rigged the model using Advanced Skeleton and created an animation of the character by referencing the dance choreography of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video.

This animation is a Public Service Announcement with tongue-in-cheek narration created to encourage teenagers to read books regularly.
