I do not have any animation work, so here is a link to the musical number, "Almost There", from the Disney movie, "The Princess and the Frog".

A short bio about myself:
My name is Michelle Vu and I am an Animation/Illustration major at SJSU. I’m in my second year, so I’ve taken most of the foundation ANI courses and PHYS 23 will be my first science class since high school chemistry. When I graduate, I want to find a storyboarding job, but knowing myself, I’ll probably do freelance art work for a while or work a small non-art job to save up some money.

Script, Boards, and Reference for Basic Animation

Script and Notes I plan to have a little clay man sitting in a tree and writing a letter. The letter slips out of his hand and starts falling. He reacts by lunging for the letter and he starts falling out of the tree. There will be a moment where the man and the letter will be falling and the letter will be falling at a slower speed than the man. The clay man will hit the ground first and the letter will land peacefully on his head. I plan to shoot with a DSLR camera. I will put together the shots in Adobe Premiere. I want to shoot inside and use either my mom's bonsai tree or buy/make a fake tree. I will need to take video reference of a paper falling and a heavier object falling.  Boards Reference

The character will turn over and then push itself up to a sitting position. Then, it will throw its pillow to turn off the alarm. Then, it will stretch its arms above its head, let its arms drop, and push the covers away from its body. Finally, it will scratch/rub its back and its head will turn to the side. For props, I will make a small bed with a blanket and pillow and the character will be a clay figure. For the backdrop of the room, I will use the corner of a room and make a tiny poster to hang on the bedroom wall for scale. For shooting, I will use a DSLR camera and tripod that I check out from the school’s IRC. To record sound effects, I will use my phone. For editing, I will compile the shots in Adobe Premiere Pro.
