Just Bits

These are pieces that were either too tiny or too old to get their own page, so I keep them in here. My little ant farm.

Dipweed Sinks It

An experiment in using oneself as an actor and reference tool for animation. Reference footage was shot using several pre-selected poses, from which the movement and line of action were analyzed to create a fluid piece that follows the 12 Principles of Animation.

Jet Engine Stunt

Rotoscope of Ryan Dunn's Jet Engine stunt from Jackass 3D

This project is an experiment in blurting the line between realism and stylization, so a (relatively) subtler clip from Jackass was used to try and render in a unique way.

Done on the lightbox with Prismacolor pencils and Copic markers. Audio from the same scene in the film.

Mask Man

Entry for Loopdeloop’s January 2015 challenge, “Faces”

This piece was mainly a warmdown after producing a longer-form short, but it was also approached it as a study in limited hues and color palette as well as the looping format. The martial arts routine is partially rotoscoped from Northern Shaolin Style kung fu.
