Just Did It

Am back to working on my MFA thesis, "Hunks". Not easy making time to create a quality short with a munchkin in the house. I've got priorities, yo.

Am determined to build all my characters and sets out of cardboard. Don't know how feasible my goal is, but I'm going to try. A sneak peek...

Testing, Testing

With the help of my pal, Jeff, I was able to record the David Brainard, my narrator for "Hunks" this past Thursday. Animatic with temp-track should be ready for post on Thursday. EEEEEK! More from my boards. Sorry they're fuzzy. Photos taken in dim lighting with my flash-less ancient iPhone. (Scanner's upstairs, and I'm feeling like lard.)

* I've since replaced my awful iPhone photos with actual scans. Ahh... much better.

Born This Way

A peek at my storyboards. (Excuse the poor quality. This is what you get when you pair an old iPhone with poor lighting. My bad.) In this scene, the parents are on a testimonial couch - think reality tv. Don't suppose any of this is making sense to you, but I don't want to spoil the surprise... Wait to see the animatic! It'll be finished in a week...

* I've gone ahead and replaced the iPhone photos with actual scans. Yay!

Take a Seat

Cardboard couches are awesome because they're cheap. Yet another peek at one of numerous work-in-process sets I'm working on for "Hunks."

Floored

Hand-painted wood flooring for a scene in "Hunks." (They're made out of cardboard!)

The Illusion of Life

"Animation is about creating the illusion of life. And you can't create it if you don't have one." - Brad Bird

Yes, well.......... I'm trying to storyboard a woman giving birth to hunks. Since I've yet to squeeze a big head (or heads for that matter) out of my vajayjay, this is all I've got.

Baby, Baby, Baby

Sculpting a dozen average-looking babies for my thesis film, "Hunks". Wait til you see the hunky ones...

Hunks

Thesis film, take two. I've gone back to the drawing board. Snails out. Hunks in. (Two-headed ones, no less!) Nearly finished with the first draft of my script. Much more to come...
