The Animation Project (TAP) is a therapeutic workforce development program that provides NYC youth with technical skills, professional development, and emotional resources they will need to pursue careers in the animation field.
I graduated from TAP's intensive animation training program in which a cohort of 12 creators were introduced to Autodesk Maya and Unreal Engine. Under the supervision of professional animators, we each created a short 3D animation.
Final Animation
This project is inspired by Rachael Smythe's webcomic Lore Olympus; a modern retelling of the Greek myth,
'The Abduction of Persephone.'

Project Notes
The project called for a 3D scene that features a character climbing. Climbing animations were resourced from Mixamo.
I wanted to reimagine Hermes delivering Persephone from the underworld. The focus is on Hermes with him as the
climbing character.
