shot in the dark sneak peek

I'm so excited about "Shot in the Dark" the animated music video project I had the privilege to work on with Chinese Takeout Films. The animation stage is just about wrapped, and I was blown away by the sweet nuances in expression and emotion in our little bee character, thanks to our talented animator Abe Dieckman! Little bee is absolutely adorable as she is coming to life, and we we cant wait to unveil the finished video!

Animated music video "The Ancestor" by Darlingside

I recently had a huge opportunity to help create an animated music video for the band Darlingside, with two friends Abe Dieckman who did the amazing animation, and Timothy Hahn, producer. I created the background paintings and textures, as well as many of the individual assets: trees, clouds, plants, stars, furniture etc. It was such a fun project to work on, and I realize how much I miss collaboration! It turned out beautifully and we are all so proud to share it! It was just mentioned on Cartoon Brew, Everything Animated, Maimed and Tamed, and was a staff pick on Vimeo! We are trying to get the word out so please share it in as many ways as you can.
