It's over 90 degrees here in Southern California this weekend, the perfect moment to post some refreshing beach scenes from a few of the promotional 2D shorts I directed for Minions: The Rise of Gru, out July 1!
I got to do a range of really cool projects at Illumination, between co-directing a theme park ride (something I'd never imagined), directing international commercials and doing a ton of these 2D Minions shorts, where you're executing one central gag, a 'classic' format I love. I think we made close to 25 of these--I lost count!
The shorts that were released here in the US didn't include the title cards, so I wanted to share of few of them here. For many of these, I drew the layout with Tidawan and Sophie Crowley, both hugely talented, doing the final color.
Most of them were made back in 2018 in preparation for the Minions: the Rise of Gru release, originally slated for...2020. They were mostly for the Chinese territories, specifically their Migu Internet Cafes, but were later repurposed for the Illumination YouTube channel, where you can watch almost all of the shorts. Some are still to be released.
And because many of the shorts don't have credits, I want to list them here.

Just hopping in to wish you a good weekend
This had to be majorly compressed and I had to retrieve it off of a damaged/corrupted flash drive. It’s fuzzier than I’d like, but it is better than the first version I uploaded. Anyway, this was for a school project where we pick a book or story that hasn’t been made into a movie, and make an opening credit sequence for it. We had a 1 minute cap on it and, unfortunately, between all the requirements, it was really hard to truly set up any really idea of what the story itself would be like. There were too many main characters that ended up eating up the time. Bottom line, if I could go back, I would’ve done it differently. Anyway, enjoy. This is for a book called Wardbreaker. If you like knights, magic and morally-ambiguous characters, you’ll LOVE this book. The work is mine, and anything that isn’t has been given proper credit.
Here’s a new animation reel of mine for 2017.

A reel I recently put together. Will probably go back through it once more before I leave it alone. Maybe.

This week we’re rejoined by Marty Walker, animator extraordinaire, to discuss the emergence of an entirely new type of animation! Not quite 2D not quite 3D, cut-out animation has taken the best of each and evolved into something completely original in both aesthetic and approach.
Also in this episode, advice from the Purple Cow, and our thoughts on the Academy Award nominations!
