Wedding Intro



I offered to do a short intro for a slide-show to be featured at a wedding.
I had VERY little time to put everything together- but those are the kinds of challenges I LOVE!
I'm very proud of the Seagull and that scene.
Layouts done in Photoshop, Ships done in Photoshop but animated in Flash. All the rest done in flash from start to finish.

Year Book Spread


My Year Book spread for the annual Sheridan "Flip Book" (Year Book), 2009.
Just some samples of my layouts- featured in my up coming short film, and to the left a "fake" pencil test of a scene not actually in my film... but it's a good promotion shot. :)

Dog-gone Toruble!


Two characters based off an article I had read some 3 years ago- about a Rottweiler Guide-dog who dialed 911 for their distressed owner. I made a storyboard depicting a similar- yet this time comical scenario- of a dog and their elderly disabled owner in the park.
I revisited the idea and designed it a-new for fun.

Opening Shot


The opening shot of my film.
Things are coming along nicely... but no doubt I'll be panicking by the end of this. For that is the way of things. Animated things.
Don't question, just understand. :)

Gambit

Random sketch done after the daily animation quota. I do them just to clear my head and try my hand at something lighthearted an fun.
I also "broke in" a new Cyan pencil that I bought today. I love these pencils becuase they are extremely pale, and I use them for the under-construction on my animation before taking a darker Blue to them to refine them. Sadly, I can't seem to find them anymore- with most art stores preferring to stalk up on the darker "Light Blue" color as the lightest they have. I'll have to look for them still. :)

Thesis Film Project I


Decided to give everyone a peak as to what I'm doing.
My Film produciton is in full-swing right now, and I'm enjoying the experiance on all levels- educational wise as well as skill wise.
Seen here, a frame from one of my scenes. Since my film is based on the North West Pacific Indigenous styles, the characters are stylized based of the masks, designs and regalia of the local Native cultures out there.
I love this frame. It's literally Wolf's "Stupid puppy face". I'm framing this frame after production and hanging it my room. :)
