The job title 'Compositor' isn't sexy buuut...

(Some of my compositing work on the ‘Overwatch 2 x Le Sserafim’ collaboration trailer produced by Titmouse)

CLASSIC! I binged this podcast on my hourlong walks to my old job, as I dreamed of becoming an animator (again). It was my nerdy equivalent of Eye of the Tiger, hyping me up to push the boat out and leave my steady, comfortable job behind by stepping into the unknown. Thanks Clay!

Fantastic! As someone who was Christian for much of my adult life, but also well outside of the US and deeply unsettled by the faith/firearms correlation, this is extremely my thing.

Thank you! I was grateful that my wife was in full time employment so I had some time to make it work.

I had no animation software, so used Photoshop 😱 Finished it over three months, and it ended up being 336 frames long and 609 layers deep. VO is Justin Long from one of my fav childhood films - Galaxy Quest! And I shot reference of myself and my wife to figure out the action.

Becoming an animator again was terrifying 💀

When I decided to quit my stable job as a brand manager in video games in 2018 to become a freelance 2D animator, I toiled away on this shot on my lunchtimes just so I'd have something new in my reel.

Guess how many pencils I dropped when figuring out this scene for Shirtstuckedin 😅

I know this makes me sound like an old fuddy duddy, but making my favorite animation list makes me realize just how much I miss hand drawn animation. The little imperfections, the warmth, the lines squiggling here and there. You could feel the humanity in every frame. Everything looks so clean now.

Thanks! Plenty more of these I'm planning to post ☺️

It can be really useful for reference when working in a more grounded style, for sure ☺️

Oh Hai Blue Skai!

Here's me and a mecha I got to animate for Brawlhalla. Happy to be here 🙏
