Watch "Pets Who Look Like Their Owners"

This was a stand alone short that I did at Tertiary, and I really love this one. It's more a practice in character design and sculpture than it is in animation itself, and I feel it really stands out as a unique piece apart from my other work. Rob Broadhurst wrote a wonderful little song for it, that just helps give it that "off" feeling. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it!

Watch All The Fox & Calf Episodes Online!

You heard right! The video pages are up, and all five Fox & Calf episodes are now up for you to watch online! 

This is a series I hold very close to my heart, and I am really grateful to everyone else who was involved and who's fingerprints are very apparent on the films; particularly Rob Broadhurst's hilarious voice acting and inspired Theme Song, Robert Litton for the amazing scores that brought everything to life, Sam for teaching me how to light a set with character (particularly in Rhonda), Carlos Miller for his tight editing skills and great, subtle digital effects, and Carlos Gonzalez who created the most beautifully tacky 80's inspired opening credit's sequence. 

I'll try to run a few blogs over the next few weeks at Tertiary that talk about a few aspects of the production that are easier to talk about now that the episodes are up. So keep an eye out for those! Ok, hope you all enjoy the episodes!

WATCH THEM HERE!

UPDATE: Robert Litton Talks About Scoring Fox & Calf

Four Down, So Many More To Go......

I just completed my fourth short for my new Tertiary Animated series Furryvale. Assuming Fox & Calf does get released sometime in August, I think there's a chance this new series will be released later in the fall. We'll just have to see. See more images from this latest short at my Tertiary Blog!

Watch Fox & Calf's "Blind Date"!

You heard right! The First episode of Fox & Calf, "Blind Date," is available to watch online at the SXSW Click Online Festival. This 2 minute episode, which is kind of calf-less, was nominated as one of the 3 finalists in the animation category. If you're inclined, feel free to register and vote for it (you can once a day), if not, just ENJOY! I'm really happy to at least have one of these episodes out, though the image has been squashed into a 4x3 apect ratio, but it's not too bad. It'll do til we get the entire series up online. Make sure to watch one of the high-res versions.

Alright, GO HERE TO WATCH BLIND DATE, let me know what you think!

Also, check out my acting debut as the butt-hole waiter in Tertiary's live action short THE DATE, which is an episode of their upcoming Control Freak series and a finalist in their live action category. (Thats me on the left.)

Martha Stewarthog

Isn't she beautiful? My latest short deals with a wonderful caricature of Martha Stewart, it was fun trying to take such an ugly animal like the warthog and make her cute and pretty. You can see more on the production, along with her koala and hippo costars at my Tertiary Blog. See you around!

Finished Animating New Short

Hey All! I just wrapped animation on my second short for my new series. Check out the process at my Tertiary Blog. Still no word on the Fox & Calf release date......

Animating New Series

Hey Everyone, so I've started animating my next clay-animated series for Tertiary Productions, which is yet to be officially titled (though I have an idea). With the premiere of Fox & Calf just about a month a way...I hope.....It has been fun to work with some different characters. You can see images from my first short, "Pigg Angel: Swine Freak," and more, at my Tertiary Production Blog!

Finished Animating "Rhonda," Fox & Calf

Today I finished the final chapter in the Fox & Calf series, Rhonda. It was such a pleasure to work on this dream project. Each short is very personal to me, and I think, reflects who I am probably more than any other films I've done. Rhonda is a particularly fun short, and was so much fun to make! So be sure to head on over to my Tertiary Production Blog and see all the behind the scenes crap. And remember, you don't have to be a MOLI member to leave comments.

"Rhonda" Episode Moving On Schedule

Hey guys! Well, everythings going great on the new Fox & Calf episode, "Rhonda." I've got a bunch of fun characters made, been working away on a nightclub set, and more. So make sure you head over to my Tertiary Productions Blog to check out all of the updates. And remember, you no longer have to be a member of MOLI to leave comments on the Tertiary Blog. Hope to see you there!

Skank-mation, Pimp-mation

I've started pre-production on the fifth episode of Fox & Calf (most likely coming out in May!), This one takes place at a night club and is called "Rhonda," so I should be creating lots of fun, colorful characters for the short. Remember to check out all the updates at my Tertiary Productions Blog.
