Dracula and Mina Action Shot
For this shot, I decided to use it as an opportunity to learn some rigged animation in Toon Boom Harmony. I spent at least a week beforehand watching as many tutorials on the program and making + animating a rig before signing up for the free trial version of the software and jumping into it.As well as Toon Boom, I also used Clip Studio Paint to animate the fire effects

Bee-Friended: LCAD Thesis Film
My graduating thesis film; a short and simple story about an unlikely friendship.
This project was a fantastic learning experience regarding organizing a production pipeline sticking to it. I was successful in putting together a pipeline of animation methods that I could use efficiently in the circumstances I found myself in that particular year (in my mother's house, hiding from the plague and completing my thesis film in her basement).I used a combination of traditional animation with 2D animation software and Adobe programs, and attempted to complete a new stage in the pipeline for a shot as well as start animating at least one additional shot each week.

Hi there, I'm Kat!
I'm a 2D Animator and Story Artist from the East Coast now based in Portland Oregon who tries to spend as much of my time as I can working on character animation projects and improving my skills. I've worked as a freelance animator, independently on personal projects, and somewhat recently as a member of Team Mink Inc for the Creator's Society Creator Jam last April, where our short film took 2nd place and was voted Audience Favorite! Currently my team and I are working on completing the short.
As you might expect, I like to watch movies and TV, and am especially a sucker for animated media (I love that we're getting animated productions aimed at adults now). I also enjoy listening to various music genres, reading, looking at memes and old vines, petting the local black cat (despite being allergic - no regrets), embroidery at times, and chatting with friends, neighbors, and coworkers!I'm aspiring to be able to work with fellow creatives at a studio either in an animator or story artist capacity, and while I pursue that goal I'll continue seeking out projects for myself to work on. The real trick will be managing to decide what I want to do next - there are so many possibilities it can be a little overwhelming at times
