After Effects Demo Reel

Wanted

I've been working on a live action short film that is a parody of an awesome short film called Nuit Blanche. Our version involves a cowboy and an unlikely love interest. On the side I've been tasked with making some promotional posters to hang up on campus.

It's suppose to resemble the Flynn Rider posters from Tangled. There will be several different versions with different noses.  The film has to be done by early February so maybe I'll be able to show it by then. This semester is going to be a busy one.

Bouncing Ball

I'll tell you what you will see if you click play on this embedded youtube video. Just so there are no surprises. You will see a ball coming out of a pipe that bounces a few times before coming to a stop. There is no color and you will probably not smell anything. It is my wish that this experience will be enjoyable for all who participate. Proceed.

Storyboard Art

A snippet of some storyboards I did for a school project. I actually don't know if I'm aloud to be showing these, but no one said otherwise, so here ya go. This scene is somewhere in the middle of the story so it's a little out of context. It was very fun to draw. Part of me thinks that storyboarding is the route I would like to go in the animation industry.

whoops! I never colored her hat. Or her holster.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from a handful of birds and a fabricated monster!

Pillow Tie 2.0

A few more Pillow Tie illustrations.  We're going with a missionary theme right now that will eventually be used for a calendar.  I'm much more pleased with the way these newer ones are turning out.  My first ones (here) were done in Adobe Illustrator and I didn't really know what I was doing.  These ones were actually drawn and painted in a program called Sketchbook Pro.

Buy a Pillow Tie for Christmas.  Buy several.  They make great gifts.

from the dust

Hey internet.

I guess it's kind of cliche to apologize when a lot of time goes by between posts. The internet doesn't really care.  And my devoted few don't seem to mind.  So I'm just going to pretend it never happened and forego the apology.

This semester has been extremely busy. I've since joined a traveling circus, invented a sequel to the internet, and defeated evil (it came back the next day). I've also done a handful of art type stuff that I will be posting in parts over the next few weeks.

First up... a micro-cartoon!



Also, you might notice a few advertisements (pronounced the british way, ad-VERT-ismentz) here and there on my blog.  Does that mean I've sold out?  Regardless, I'm now confident my financial future is secure cause I'm earning an average $1.86 every month.  That might be enough to pay for my drinking habit.  My water drinking habit.  One 16 oz. bottle every thirty days.

SQUAWK!

This one fell into the archives without much notice.  Thought I'd pull it out and show it just for fun.  Only took a few hours to do. The assignment was to practice asymmetrical movement.  Apparently beginning animators have a tendency to move limbs and such at exactly the same time and direction and it makes things look too robotic and boring. (Sentences have a way of sounding weird when the word 'and' occurs too frequently.)



School starts again this next Monday, which means I'll have a lot more work to post.  Character Design, Storyboarding, Visual FX, and Animation. Yikes.
