Melba Toast moves!

We screened everyone's animations tonight, everybody is freakin' unbelievable. Titmouse talent HO!!!

Melba Toast

This is Melba Toast, my subject for Titmouse's 3rd annual 5-second animation day. We get a whole day to animate whatever we want to and then the following day, we watch them all together. So here are some sketches of Melba I did a couple nights ago. I went with the middle one and animated her today. I'll post the animation as soon as we screen them!

Oskar

I recently watched Let the Right One In and it just kinda stuck with me. Here's a quick sketch of poor Oskar in the snow.

Barko Trailer and website!

Sorry to those of you who've already seen all this! (Titmouse and I have been bombarding Facebook lately.) But the Barko website is now up on titmouseshorts.com. You can watch the trailer here or there, but the site has some gallery images to peruse if you're interested. I'll keep posting here and there about any updates! Thanks for checking it out.

BARKO IS FINISHED!

So after a year and a half, I've finally finished my first short film, "Barko." It runs 7 minutes and is about a sad lil circus dog. I worked on it through Titmouse - they ask a couple employees to do their own personal films every year (or two) and give us some time to work during that year, help promote it, etcetc. Thanks to Chris and Shannon of Titmouse and all the great help I got on this from coworkers/friends/interns! And thanks to my man, Josh for dealing with me working all the time! I won't be posting the film online anytime soon since I'll be spending the year applying to festivals and I think Titmouse has other plans for the collection of films we create. But I'll try to keep this blog up to date on what festivals it might get into, posters, and a trailer I'll be making eventually. So you'll get a peak if you haven't seen it yet! Now I'm off to play video games! Weeeeee!!!
