Kumain Ka Na Ba?
Over the course of three months, I was tasked to create an animated short about anything I wanted. Titled after the lowkey pickup line; 'Kumain Ka Na Ba? (Have You Eaten?)' illustrates the morning routine of Ceci and Ponkan; the stars of the short.
​
This short was made in Toon Boom, with backgrounds drawn on Adobe Photoshop and edited through Adobe Premier Pro, with sounds found over YouTube.

Pasahili MV
'Para Sa Hindi Pumili (Pasahili)' or 'For Those Who Were Not Chosen' is a two minute animated music video after the song of the same title by Arthur Miguel.
​
It showcases the pain of yearning when someone has an unreciprocated crush.
​
Backgrounds were done on Photoshop while all animation was done on ToonBoom.
