Shannon O’Leary did a great article on how a lot of recent animation is influenced by independent comic artists.  I love this! Because as an animator, this is the world I’ve always looked at for influence in on how I design my animations. 

Yay, very honored to be part of such a talented group of animators.  Wish everyone tons of luck!

This stop motion film is such a homage to silent movies its makes me giddy.  Love how they followed the sunrise and sunset…  (only online for 2 days!)  

I’m my own PR Crew at SXSW for Chocolate Milk.  Been sprinkling postcards all over town.  Thanks AUSTIN for letting me promote my film “Chocolate Milk” in your awesome shops and other locales!  (Psssst….Be on the lookout for the elusive STICKER postcard!!)

SXSW put the trailer to my Animation Short Film “Chocolate Milk” up!!  So excited to be accepted there for my World Premiere.

“Don’t hug me I’m scared”  is pretty terrifying but still amazing….

This list is wildly accurate.  I can’t find the for-sure source, but hopefully its true that it happened on this series….

“This message is boiling hot” by Masanori Okamoto is some pretty amazing paper stop-mo with music by Saitone…Reminds me a lil bit of Pao’s Hangboy with those big smiley faces.

Really enjoy the video of Terry Gilliam explaining how he did “paper cutout animations” for Monty Python.  Amazing to think he did all these animations with film, on a tight budget and working in a small room by himself for hours on end….

Izzy Stage 1 Izzy Stage 2 Izzy Stage 3

So with my main character in Chocolate Milk, I made 3 different Character Model guides to chronicle her change in appearance.  (Her name is “Izzy” BUT you never hear her referred to by name in my film!  A lil trivia for you ha-cha!)   

Her changes in appearance happen every time she enters the teen rehab center to signal she has gotten worst in her addiction.  Personally, I really love the hair design in the 3rd model sheet.  

In animation, a character’s look often stays the same as to not confuse the audience and for continuity purposes especially in TV shows.  So I’m always excited when the opportunity comes up to go against the grain in animation.  And this worked especially well with my film “Chocolate Milk”!  

PS In other news, I’ve been pretty busy as I’m gearing up to teach an animation class at UCLA in July.  So unfortunately some work on the film has been delayed.  But its still moving along and will hopefully speed to the finish line in August!!
