Marie Celeste test shot

This is a test shot for my short film. I like the way it is turning out, though I still plan on doing some adjustments to this shot. I can't wait till this film is finished... partially because I want to see it in it's finished state, and partially because sleep sounds nice... and I haven't done it in a while.

Sir Darl

A sketch I did of one of my favorite professors, Darl Larsen. I drew this during a class he taught: Post Apocalyptic Film and Literature. It was a fantastic class.

More Backgrounds!

Here is a sample of more backgrounds for my film. I really liked how the night fog scenes turned out. Really fun to play with the surreal lighting. Spooky and fun... Now I get to move on to animating. I will be busy doing that for the next 3 or 4 weeks.

Backgrounds

This one still needs some work. The values need some reworking.

I am making an animated short this semester about a creature terrorizing an 1800's merchant ship crew. It is based very much on the chapter of Dracula in which he travels from Tramsalvannia to england and kills the crew along the way, though the creature is not Dracula. I am a big fan of period horror, and feel there is far to little of it. Anyway, I have been working hard on getting all the backgrounds done so that I can jump right into animating. This is a small selection of some of the backgrounds I have finished. I have purposely made the perspective slightly off to subtly create unease and tension. Several of them also have elements that will be animated in Aftereffects.

I hope you like them Jeremy!

spider monkey

My spider monkey. He likes to eat fruit flies. I did this a long time ago, and came across it while I was looking at some old stuff. I like it, so I decided to post it.

The French Connection

Watercolor piece I did in one of my sketchbooks. Inspired by my wife. I did a couple of quick fixes in photoshop.

babo and batman

Commission I did over the summer for an old friend of mine. His son is really big into batman.
