Welcome to my portfolio website! Meet Josh & Kevin!
Josh & Kevin is a 3D-animated cartoon I created about a 17-year-old tech genius named Josh and his witty but sometimes clumsy 5-year-old brother Kevin. They both live in 41st-century New York City, in a sky neighborhood known as Sky Manhattan, complete with hovering cars, buildings, and leviboards. Click on the here for more Josh & Kevin episodes on my YouTube channel.
This project is animated in Blender.
I modeled, animated, and rigged the characters. I conducted the storyline of each episode with storyboards. I digitally painted and applied textures to various objects. I developed the visual style of each scene.
Statement
Hi. I’m Joseph Reisner, an autistic equal rights advocate with a bachelor’s degree in visual arts. Welcome to my portfolio website. As of the time of writing this statement, Joseph Reisner Studios is not a formal company, but rather a trade name under which I am working on animated projects, such as Josh & Kevin, a series named for the two characters depicted in the logo above.
Over the years I have learned various techniques of bringing stories to life on the screen, including animation, film, photography, and audio production. I want to use my skills as a Multimedia Production Specialist to create incredible digital art and make the world a more welcoming place so we can all embrace and accept our differences. I am developing episodes of Josh & Kevin to move my vision forward. I am also working towards getting a full-time job in my field by taking necessary steps in my career journey. Eventually with enough income, experience, and support, I will establish Joseph Reisner Studios as a professional animation studio.
