The Dorm Room is an animation of a space that I built entirely from memory using polygons in Maya and rendered using Arnold rendering software. This space is important to me because it holds a lot of memory, good and bad. Each object in the room I modeled, and resides in the space because it was originally in the room or it held significant importance to the relationships and interactions that took place. This space of a college dorm room doesn't lend itself to much emotion but when placed alongside the cheery love song that plays, an ironic, uneasy feeling falls over the viewer. This feeling is important to the story because many interactions that took place in this room were very emotional and unsettling. The objects fly around the dorm to show that things began to fall apart while in this room. Finally, the animation moves to a different space. A dark room with a sole piano sitting under a spotlight. This room was also important to me because whenever I would leave the dorm room, I would go to that piano room and sit alone and play the first few notes of Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy. The sheet music to Clair de Lune is even sitting atop the piano in the animation.

ABOUT ME
Tessa Lubertozzi
Fine Arts Major at the
University of Cincinnati
Electronic Art Track
I am an artist and animator currently in my final year at the University of Cincinnati in the college of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP), pursuing a bachelor's in fine arts with an electronic art track.
My art explores love, in its many forms, by animating everyday stories in the hopes of making people happy. I chose animation because I believe it could fulfill this purpose. With three internships and four years spent in undergrad, I have honed my skills as an animator learning different software and creating many animations. I have four years' experience with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, as well as Maya. I am also a competent illustrator and painter and often incorporate these elements into my electronic work. I use these skills every day to attempt to make people happy through art.
