“LAKE CHAMPLAIN” Thesis Film

Lake Champlain was my final thesis film upon graduating from SVA NYC’s Computer Arts Department in 2021. As something of a love letter to the creatures that fuel my imagination, it’s a short story about a cryptozoologist — someone who searches for and studies creatures of modern myth and urban legend — getting more proof than he could’ve ever asked for.
I handled nearly every aspect of production, from storyboarding to modeling, rigging, texturing, and animating, all the way to filming, effects, editing, and compositing, all within the nine-month time constraint of the senior year.
