Check out the first poster for Brush!!  I’ve been slowly but steadily making progress on this film each week -- More stuff to come soon!

Lighting and compositing makes such a difference!  I’ve been looking at potato-quality playblasts for so long it’s nice to see everything come together.

Here’s some color/lighting progress for the 2nd sequence.  Rendering is going a lot smoother than animation -- thank you arnold for being so stable!!

Making some progress on final character colors - the look of the film has come a long way (check out the early render test from 2016 D:).  Design cred @isabellegedigk !!

New year, new doc!! I’ve made a ton of progress in the past year, which has been really hard due to my full time job, and wanting to have some semblance of a life on the weekends. I managed to take a full month off of work to focus on the film which REALLY helped. Here’s to a new year where I finally get this thing done :D!!!

When people ask me how my film is going:

I’m excited to say that I have finished a first pass of animation on my entire short film!!  I’ve taken a month off of work to make some serious headway on this, and I think it’s paid off.  I’m in a great place to finish animation completely by the end of the year.  I will finish this damn thing even if it kill me! :00

Running Late!

Oh no he din’t

ProTip: make sure character proportions are working BEFORE rigging and animation!  I just spent most of my day trying to get the daughter’s head to scale correctly (it was too big compared to her parents).  D: Lesson learned!!

I made a rig variant doppelgänger 🤓. This guy will look different in my film (and won't have glasses) but it's the same rig. Just wanted to do a super quick animation test to see how the face rig was holding up.

Soooo... Much.... RIGGING!! 😭
