Trevor Van Meter - thankGIF! 006

Trevor Van Meter fills his portfolio with things he likes. He figures that's the best way to make his work a labor of love, not a mere labor.

For the last few weeks I have totally been the meat. Today, I’m the grinder. 🍔

As an animator working in NYC's original dot com boom, Trevor was inspired by the indie animation scene. Films like Marv Newland's "Bambi Meets Godzilla", helped him realize that small moments can be equally as big and impactful as anything else. Trevor's main objective is to "make people feel something".

Somedays, it feels like this. And then I’m all like “Bring it on giant weird hairy hand of life. I can take it.”

[heytvm]

Live for the moment! Oh BTW, try to make that moment meaningful! ⌛️

[heytvm]

Back to it! Have a great week.

Dear brain, please cut me some slack. I’m trying to snag some 💤 Thaaanks. 🌃🌙

Let it go. Don’t hold it back anymore. I heard that somewhere. Good advice. 👍 #gif #animation #keepittogether

My best work is created without worrying about doing it for a check or a deadline.

The best ideas seem to come when I’m not trying to think of ideas. Real convenient brain. 💡

[heytvm]

It’s not easy. Full stop.
