My name is Nicole Chen and I'm currently studying Animation Illustration at SJSU with a Story Boarding emphasis. I've loved drawing my own characters since middle school, and I discovered Story Boarding when I arrived at San Jose State. Bellow is a personal project that I have recently completed called 'Steakout'.
I also like to paint on occasion, and have recently gotten into understanding color-harmonies is paintings. Bellow is a painting I did for my 117B class in Fall 2013. The story behind this one is that Anna-Purna, the goddess of Food, has begun to appear in the poor city of Calcutta to feed people.
Here is an idea for a short film I helped do Storyboards on. The timing and music were all done by Justin Vu.
I've taken all of the SJSU A/I required courses (ART 28, ART 24, ANI 14, ANI 55, ANI 50, ANI 51a&b, ANI 112a&b, ANI 113, ANI 114, ANI 115, ANI 116, ANI 117a&b), and am currently in BFA. The only science classes I have taken at SJSU are Anthroplogy and Geology. When I graduate I want to work in film or television doing storyboards.
On a more personal level I try to keep up with TV and love to watch movies. Right now I'm all about Transformers Prime, Last Week Tonight, Breaking Bad, Penny Dreadful, Hannibal, TMNT, Rick and Morty, Adventure Time and Steven Universe.
Most Recent Movies Watched are: Guardians of the Galaxy, Casadega (really terrible do not recommend) and The Jackal.
Currently I'm trying to catch up on books and have recently read/are reading: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Three Musketeers, 10 Japanese Short Stories by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Game of Thrones and Frankenstien.
Also I love birds. Cute, fluffy birds.
Here is a YouTube video that I loved to watch on a weekly basis:
