Rebel Rebel

Spring 2023

My Contributions

I started out on the script team. I helped formulate ideas present in the scenes and primarily worked on the dialogue between characters. I then headed the assets team as I went through our backgrounds and added minor details that gave the scene a bit more sense of realism. I added chairs, posters, lighting, signs, and weapons, while also altering backgrounds of the same location so they matched each other in order to remain consistent. Next, I worked as a voice actor and director; I voiced the character Joe and directed the other voice actors throughout the voice recording process. Finally, I worked as an animator and animated the entirety of the ink blot scene as well as the start of the mini mart scene.

Script

When working on the script, I helped by improving dialogue written in scenes and by cleaning up plot holes and continuity errors. I also came up with the activities that take place in the animation.

Assets

When I worked on assets, I added details to the backgrounds such as benches, flags, sunlight, trash bins, chairs, and more.

Animating

I worked on several scenes in the animation such as the ink blot scenes and the introduction to the mini mart scene. The scenes I animated are displayed below.

Voice Acting

This was my first voice acting role. I voiced Joe in Rebel Rebel and drew inspiration from other animated military men such as Glenn Dolphman from Inside Job and the Green Army Men from Toy Story. I also directed the other voice actors when recording lines. Below are some of my character's lines.
