spring 2014 interns

welcome to spring 2014 interns ra'shon, natalia, james, tim, and ginelle!

we are getting the hang of the coloring process for the ogre/mermaid, and digitizing drawings.

tablets out and have at it!

motion heads therapy.

a growing collection of logos that also make use of an animated head:

proto motion heads, circa 1993; an early attempt at self-publicity.

number two of my collection of motion heads-like images (for number one, see three posts back). I think "art therapy" might be the ticket, actually...












number three: energy iq quiz.

number four: from montreal, last summer.

early prototype from the serpentelli days.

and for the academically-minded, here's a link to Animation, Sage Journal. Peer reviewed critical essays on the art form:

quelques pepins, mais c'est la ou on en est, pour l'instant.

one more french toast

always nice to have people of character stop in to visit.  ; )

goodbye, Frederic Back...

Frederic Back died this Christmas Eve. One of my favorite artists. In addition to being an animator, a force for good in the world and a voice for quiet, intelligent people everywhere.

long time no post...

these images are also on the ogre/mermaid blog, but what the heck:

ellen is cold because chris kept the heat off.

chris did some keys.

this is for a school flyer.

but we did get together last thursday, ellen and myself, to push ahead. ellen came in with her usual pile of backgrounds, and I squeezed out keys for sequence 5, shot 5.

school's almost out, and after that, well, the aim is to get all pencil tests done before january and the new year. we're close, pretty darn close, considering all the work that's been done.
