The Gloomers are it again on what is for some the most gloomy day of the year -- Valentine's Day.

The Bruiser

Dust Off

Back in July, I participated in the 48 Hour Film Festival with a few friends. It was a blast from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend everybody who is interested in making movies (not just animated ones either) to try. Here is the actual movie on youtube. I also made a DVD cover for shits and giggles.

Final Render for Freakers' Ball

This was a group project that I worked on with graduates students at the Academy of Art. It took about six months to complete.

My credits included the rough and clean-up animation for the second and third shot where the M.C. picks up the Jester and the digital rough and clean-up animation for the magician in the last shot. The portion of animation that I was responsible for was drawn digitally on a Wacom Cintiq using TVpaint (an animation software program). In addition, I did some in-betweening and cleaning up for other animator's shots and characters.

It was great experience (thanks to a great director and a wonderful team devoted to the project) and I look forward to working on the next group project!

Wushu in 2D!

Thanks to a Maya plug-in called Grease Pencil I was able to add a little 2D element into the video.
