In 2019 Golden Wolf | London had invited me back to try out a TV bumper for DTVA’s Owl House series 🦉 Projects like these are few and far between. Being on a small but mighty team is such a treat! ❤️‍🔥 Everyone plays their strengths to build up something together. Thats where its at really. Thanks Henry! It was perfect timing honestly. DTVA wasn't interested at the time for an FX person in the US. Commercial work is cool like that 😈 Edit: Noting I only provided FX work. Character Animation was provided by Golden Wolf

I was psyched when Digital Domain hit me up to animate 2D FX over their APEX Legends Project titled “Northstar” | Stories from the Outlands.  There was plenty that didn’t make it to final picture. nevertheless it was a really positive experience being on a talented VFX team!

I did some FX Concept Designs for We Baby Bears episodes here and there early into the pandemic. I was lucky to help with the episode ft. Summer Camp Island friends. These are not the final colors so they may appear differently in the finished episode.

Sharing an experiment here | 2DFX on Live Action frames! This clip was solely used for practice with live movement and props. Original clip and fight choreography by Martial artist, Shaina West. It’s a short experiment but would love to find more clips to test out!

Lips was quite a theme here but I just wanted to ring in Halloween and then I got tired.

Been going through TONS of Star design files from season 2-3! I thought I’d share a bit of the transformation sequences. Transformation sequences were my absolute favorite to build. They can be very technical, but so worth it to have something super unique. Like Star! I would always enjoy showing the new transformations to Daron at design meetings. Because the amounts of panels can be overwhelming, the gif was to show consistencies/ build up/zoom in and out. I left the boards on each design so you can also see how I go from translating rough boards to full color/glow designs. I was very lucky to have such trust to just really push the fantasy each episode <3 Enjoy! Also let me know if anyone wants to see another set of these FX designs posted.

Hello, I design all the sparkles and magic on Star. Goodbye Vimeo version

[tonyunser]

Sharing these so I don't lose them!

[tonyunser]

These are only SOME sketches and mock up designs and final FX designs I did this past! There are many more effects I’ve done but I don't wanna give away what happens later in the season. I hope people enjoy these and the process behind them! Excuse my weird made up Star transformation sequence...I don't think anyone told me to draw those. Enjoy!

EDIT* Top: Color code plan for my piece in the Gallery Nucleus Show. Its still for grabs! I hand painted acetate. However the one you see is the digital plan. If you enjoy art that involves                        magical girls      sparkles   feelings    boys    pink Then cancel your plans for Saturday night and come to the Gallery Nucleus Show opening and book release for Violent Pink ! This Saturday May 21st at 7pm It was amazing to work with these guys on some Magical girl content for the show. Lets shed tears together! Violent Pink by Eastwood Richard Perry
