Animation Special!

Hey Everyone!

I found this on my computer! This is my animation final from this past semester. We had to work with a partner on this project. It took about a month to complete. The character that I animated enters first, my partner's character enters next.

Hello World!

As the title suggests, this is my first post on this brand new blog in the world of the internet and I suppose introductions are in order. My name is Crystal Bradford and I am currently studying at Digipen Institute of Technology for my BFA in Digital Arts and Animation. I'm going into my Sophomore year in the fall, I'm looking forward to the projects that I will be able to work on, and of course share my progress here. Currently I am taking a summer class which is pretty much an introduction to Photo Shop painting. I'll be posting my work from school as well as some of my personal projects. I'm looking forward to sharing my work and receiving some feedback as well.
