other people's heads

ottawa 2014

at the ottawa international animation festival, soaking in all the creativity. so good.

sometimes you just want to stare at the stars.

still here.

it's been awhile, but motion heads is still here. coloring ogres in the alps, as it were, and looking for the perfect motion heads studio building, made of stone and wood, nestled in the mountains, far from the ski resorts and the boisterous traffic of most of mankind...

welcome tahirah!

summer intern tahirah pryor joined us last week. picked up on the coloring quickly and ready to plough into the thick of things...welcome to motion heads, tahirah!

site of a previous incarnation.

ogre at the plastic club

I presented the work of motion heads at the plastic club's "philadelphia independents" screening of local animators on saturday, march 29th. the evening was lively and full of enthusiasm, with the work of 12 different animators represented, including old friends and reunited colleagues, and a diverse group of artists present to celebrate the work of their peers.

sequence iv, lasting only a minute or so and in various stages of shot completion, screened before a receptive audience. it has been a long haul, but a moment like this gives one the motivation to keep on going through to the finish line, and also gives insight into the work that is not so easy to discover just looking at it on one's own.

deep and sincere thanks for the efforts of my motion heads team. sad not to continue to be working with some anymore, but grateful for everyone's time and energy.

so, onward and onward...

philadelphia independents

looking forward to assembling this group of artists, and looking forward to seeing what's going on in everybody's little corners of this urban jungle...whatcha been up to, neighbor?
