Caitlin Stearns
Digital Media (Animation)

About
This is my last year at Otis College. I majored in animation. I know how to do the three styles of animation, which are stop motion, 2D, and 3D. I can also do 3D sculpting, both traditionally and in 3D. I know how to use Zbrush, Maya, Flash, TVpaint, and Toonboom. I work hard and take breaks when I need to. When I’m not animating, I write stories and draw. I also like to imagine going into cartoon worlds, and being helpful there. I advocate for myself and others who might need it.

We learned how to sculpt a dragon in Zbrush in the Zbrush class. We learned how to used the spotlight, for reference and texture. We also learned about zsphers, which we used to make the armature of the dragon. We also learned how to make a plain in Zbrush for the wing mesh of the dragon’s wings.

This is what I did for my head bust final in the Zbrush class. We could do an already existing character, and I chose Disney’s Robin Hood, because he had animal ears. This was our final for that class.
This is the work I did in my 3D animation 2 class during my Junior year at Oits. This demo reel also has my work from the stop motion class that I took.
This is my demo real from the Practicum in Animation 1 class. This is the animation class I took as a Senior.

I made these chipmunks for my Senior Project. I started sculpting them in Zbrush during the summer. Then I low-polyed them in Maya. I changed the proportions in Maya, based on feedback I got from Allen in the second semester of the Senior Project Class.

This was a 3rd homework assignment for the Costume and Portrait class. We had to find a child model who was 10 to 12 years old, and an adult in Medieval costume. Then we had to draw the child wearing the medieval costume. We also had to show the outline along with the outline being colored in.

This was the fourth homework assignment for the Costume and Portrait class. We had to find an old couple,65 years old or more, and folk/traditional costume that had Embroidery and print on it. Then we had to draw the old couple wearing the Folk/traditional costume. We also had to show the outline along with the outline being colored in, and shaded.

This one is part of the final for the Costume and Portrait class, in which we had to do a past, present, and future drawing. For the costume, we had to take a lot of reference pics and combine them into one. We could make a story or use an existing one. I chose to use the characters from the book Flight, since the main character goes into the past by going into other male bodies. I wanted to do this book because no one has drawn the characters from the book at all, and it’s been something I wanted to do.
