Seasquatch!

So I was up in Seattle for the Pixar Master class hangin out with my buddy and we started discussing Big Foot cause he is around there and all. We went from Big Foot to Yetti to Sasquatch to whats the next obvious progression? SEASQUATCH. Its like a merfoot! So I had to sit down and scribble the idea down while it was fresh. So here are my rough boards for a Seasquatch! 

Hopefully I can go down this path further and expand on the idea, I think its pretty fun. 

Keep commin back, new ideas are just around the corner!

The talking dog

Here are some boards I have been working on, I took a joke I found online and modified it to work as a short. Which i find is a great way to come up with a quick concept for a project without spending forever trying to come up with a clever idea. 


This is my first pass, when I get a bit of time I plan on doing a second run of them with some new ideas. So here we go, the moment you've been waiting for, TALKING DOG!

Untill next time!

Figure Sculpture!

Here is the first Figure sculpt I've ever done, I had a blast with it, it was very different than just sculpting from an image or your mind. Here is a quick progression of how the sculpt came to be.

Regular Show Test

Here are some boards I did for a recent Regular Show test I took. In the end they passed on me but I still feel proud about the work I produced and think they turned out really great. The test they gave me was to board out a story beat they provided and asked me to produce 5-10 rough boards and 5 cleaned up boards. 


Here are the rough boards I came up with. 

The most interesting part of the test was not only did I have to come up with the boards but I wrote all the Dialogue and Gags as well, which was a challenge and a lot of fun. 


Now for the Cleaned up Portion. 

Dark Star Animatic

Here we go! Here is the final animatic created from my storyboards we used for our Production class before going into Maya and animating out everything properly. Enjoy!

Dark Star!!!!

Here are the boards I did for one of our senior projects 'Dark Star' We were given a first draft script of the 1970's sci-fi classic Dark Star (you don't remember it? yeah we didn't either) and were tasked with creating a 90 second trailer for the film which was going to be done in Stereoscopic 3D!!!


As head of Story I whittled down the script into its key moments (there weren't many, it was a fairly boring movie from what I could tell) and set them in what I felt was a compelling way to sell the concept of the entire movie. 


Here are the final Story Boards I put together for the entire project. 

The final animatic we put together with these boards will be up shortly! Enjoy!

Man at the Movies

I didn't realize I hadn't had this posted yet! Here was a final for character animation class, the teacher gave us the scratch track and character sheet and we went from there. 





I wish it wasn't quite so fast, he didn't give a lot of transition space between the lines but I guess you gotta work with whats given to ya huh?

Toys in the Attic

Oh man I forgot about this, here is a rough animatic I did for a group project some friends and I were working on our final Quarter at school. It was going to be a big multi student collab type project set to Pink Floyds 'Toys in the Attic'. It didn't get much farther than this stage unfortunately due to time restraints with us graduating and us not entirely knowing the legality of using Pink Floyds song (we were going to want to be able to submit it to festivals) 


Without further ado, here is my little segment of 'The Trial"
