WHAT'S NEW: ANIMATION

ANIMATION DEMO- February 2012: A brief example of my more traditional styled animation.

 

CAP. EPISODE 3 - January 2012: ***WARNING: MATURE CONTENT*** The latest episode of the online animated series of shorts produced with Harland Williams. Contains some language and violence, as it is a series aimed toward the South Park, Adult Swim type of audience. This latest episode has some surprise guest stars show up... and the craziness ensues. All the animation created using Photoshop and After Effects, with final edit in Premiere.

GALL-BLADDER RAP - September 2011: The second animation for Mikey and Big Bob / 96.1 Kiss (Clear Channel Radio). Animation created around a rap song written by Mikey for Big Bob's soon to be gone gall-bladder. Created with Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere.

EILEEN GAGA ANIMATION - August 2011: An animation for Mikey and Big Bob, the 96.1 Morning Freak Show (Clear Channel Radio, Pittsburgh Morning Radio Show), based off one of the show's regular callers, "Eileen from Blawnox." Here she does her best Lady Gaga. Created with Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere. Plans are to do a series of these from their various audio recordings.

ANIMATED LADY GAGA INTERVIEW - July 2011: An animation created for a radio phone interview by D.J. Bonics with Lady Gaga (96.1 Kiss Radio, Pittsburgh). A method to give some visual interest to an audio based interview. Created with Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere.
C.A.P. CARTOON - April 2011: ***WARNING: MATURE CONTENT*** Here is the first animated short created with Harland Williams. This series is aimed toward the South Park / Adult Swim audience. A second short is completed and the third script is written and ready to start. The show has already been presented to Adult Swim and Comedy Central, and time will tell where it goes. Harland came up with the concept, wrote the script and recorded the voices. From his character sketches and audio I built the characters and animated the story. I used Photoshop for all the image elements, After Effects for the animation, and Premiere for editing.
BLAST FROM THE PAST - Way back in 2005!: An early animated promo featuring some upset sheep. Thought I had lost this one, but recently found it... a Thanksgiving Miracle! Audio was created for a radio spot which I used as the foundation for a television promotion. Created and edited with Photoshop and After Effects.
CLEVELAND PITTSBURGH CUSTOMS - November 2010: Custom Pittsburgh promos for The Cleveland Show. Script written locally and sent to FOX Network for recording by show talent. Once audio received I used an existing promo video and re-animated the mouth movements to match the custom audio. Editing and animation created with Photoshop and After Effects.

"CAP" - August 2010: While that is not the full title, that is what I'm going to list it as for now. Just finished a 3 minute animated presentation with Harland Williams which is going to be used to help sell a proposed series idea to television networks such as Comedy Central, MTV, FX, etc. Below is a small shot of the main characters.

MEET THE PLUSH- August 2010: A series of promos for My Pittsburgh TV featuring news anchor David Gregbeary. Created to promote on-air programming in a different approach. Software used includes After Effects, Crazy Talk and Sound Forge.

HARLAND - July-August 2009: Some additional work with Harland Williams. Creating a poster and DVD artwork for his film project. Also working on some short animated sequences that may get worked into his new web site. Below is a rough of the initial animation. Still a few things to tweak and some audio hits that need repaired. But it gives you the idea.
