My Portfolios
The Perfect Backyard
This project was done utilizing many aspects of creating a 3D, animated world in Three.js, including, but not limited to, ShapeGeometry, applying UV mapping to textures, environment mapping with skyboxes, vertex and fragment shaders, bezier curves, normal maps, bump maps, and various forms of transformation, including translation, rotation, and scaling. This project also gave me the opportunity to create models using Blender, a tool that I used to create the people playing cornhole, the cornhole boards, the bees flying around the garden, and the lilypads floating in the pond.
Projects
In the Kitchen
The goal of this short project was to create a minute-long music video that embodied any given song of our choice; I chose In the Kitchen by Renee Rapp. This project provided me with an introduction to cinematography, lighting, focus, and post-production, as well as how to use and operate a GH5 camera.

Wisconsin Volleyball
This video is a documentary of the experiences of Vince Nayman, a manager for the Wisconsin Badgers Volleyball team. I gained exposure to filming interviews that adhere to industry standards, and this was my first creative project that I worked on with another person, giving me experience with balancing creative control and reaching mutual compromise.

Reflection
This project is an original narrative short, written and produced by every member of the group. Creating this video introduced me to the process of writing an intruiging story with compelling characters and interesting dialogue, and it helped strengthen my post-production skills, including seamless editing, sound, and coloring contrast.

Scripts
"Cherry Chapstick" is the first fully fleshed out script I've written; it was the final project for my first screenwriting class, and it taught me about character and plot development, helped me practice short-form storytelling, and encouraged me to explore the creation of dialogue and action.
Summary: A talented makeup artist has landed her first professional job on a TV show that has just been renewed for a second season. The TV show is set in the 70’s, and it stars two up-and-coming actors; these actors are the makeup artist’s clients. At the beginning of our story, they have begun production on the second season, when the makeup artist realizes she is developing a crush on one of the actors.
Tone: A romantic drama; "Daisy Jones and the Six" meets "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo", if both were set entirely in the present day. The characters are working to navigate the intricacies of mixing fame and friendship in an era of increasingly invasive fanbases.

"Light of Dawn" is the first full-length script I have written; it gave me more practice with developing complex characters, interleaving storylines, and topical themes. I learned how to write and compose beat outlines, chracter backgrounds, and story pitches, and I learned how to budget my time throughout and entire semester to finish the script in a timely manner.
Summary: Maya, a rebellious, downtrodden college droppout, takes her best friend Sasha to a party, which ultimately results in her friend sustaining a life-altering injury. In the aftermath of the accident, Maya learns that incidents in our past do not solely dictate who we grow up to be, and that apologizing for our actions does not necessitate forgiveness from those we have hurt.
