La Charanguera


A simple animation exploring Cuban Son movements to music by Charanga del Norte.


Makuta


Makuta is an Afro-Cuban dance I have often performed. It is one of the Congo genre of dances.
I created this with 3d animation software. I was able to make the character's movements quite good, except that the feet don't touch the floor properly. I'm quite pleased with the 3d environment though.

These chairs will be animated to dance in formation in the ballroom space above.

Plants and Trees


I want to create appealing environments for my stories and for my characters. Nature is an important part of this. These are some of the plant assets I have created for my work.

Sketches of the Body in Movement: Bodies





Travelling Around the World





A stop-motion animation using recycled stuff with photos. The helicopter is made of a kitchen spray and yogurt bottles and my cool pilot's outfit is made from things I had around the house. I've travelled a lot in my life, but this was the first time I flew a helicopter.

Model-Making


These are a few of the models I have made for stop-motion animation, some of which I have animated.

Ninon

A cabaret dancer as a box that I've animated in stop-motion



Fishes

Glittering carnival fish.



Crocodile & Frog

Models for stop-motion for children.
