Learning to Play film
In June 2006, my dog, Carson, was diagnosed with and died from lung cancer. He was 8 years old. When I lived at home, I used to take a pitching wedge and hit golf balls into the horse pasture and he would retrieve them. My film, Learning to Play, is inspired by and dedicated to Carson and all the fun times we had together. It is a 3 minute animated short film about an uptight golfer and a fun-loving dog meeting on a golf course.
Credits
All work (modeling, rigging, animation, etc.) was done by me, but with help from the following people:

- Kevin Paskowski - prop modeling
- Rachelle Walker - music
- Trevor Gilliland - sound effects, design
Countless other friends, teachers, and family members also helped with critique, support, and guidance.
Software used was Autodesk Maya for modeling, rigging, and animation; Adobe Photoshop for design and textures; and Adobe Premiere for editing.
