Boom! Chrome Away From Home

Here is a spot I worked on at the beginning of the year for Google Chrome.  Check it out!



It was produced by the folks over at Superfad and directed by Nando Costa, with cinematography by Bryce Fortner.

It was quick, fun job working with a great crew!

I'll post some behind the scene pictures soon!

Yo! Lego Animation, OKAAAY!

Check this out!

Here is a fun clip with with Mr. Donald Faison talking about his time in the world of Lego Stop Motion among other things. It also features a brief appearance from myself and the talented and hard working Richard Van As.

Take a look!

Meeting Michael Yo was fun and as always working with Donald as well as Richard was a blast!

There's a bit more work still to be done on Black Storm Trooper 3, but the new episode looks great so far, has a more involved story and introduces a slew of new characters.  I'll keep you updated and let you know when it drops!

More exciting stuff coming soon!

Finding Ferguson

One of my good friends and frequent creative collaborators Trisha Gum was recently accepted to a directing workshop at the prestigious American Film Institute.

She is currently raising money for the film that she will be producing in the program.

In order to help that cause we made this short film that explains the program, the project, and her fund raising goals.

Check it out!



We made this short from start to finish in just a few days!

Please visit her Kickstarter page and take a look at her website .

If you can, please think about donating.  It would mean a lot to me, and help out a good friend and a sooper talented lady!


Thanks!

Carls Jr. BTS Pics

Two weeks ago I got to work on another Carl's Jr web spot over at Bix Pix with Director Karni Baghdikian. This time as Animation Director.


I'll be sure to post it when its finished.


In the meantime here are some behind the scenes pics from the previous Carls Jr. web spots for the Philly Cheesteak Burger.


The job was fun but I'm not sure how I feel about the burger... 
(To be fair, I haven't actually tried it.)

Lead animator Nancy Parczyk prepares for a shot.

Say, Jack...Cover me!

The wait is over!

It's finally here!

From Mr. Donald Faison...

Part two of an epic tale set in the world of Star Wars Legos!

Ladies and Gentlemen...

Black Storm Trooper 2!

Again Donald actually animated most of this!  As well as writing, directing, and editing it!
(And check out the voice talent!)


I dunno 'bout you, but I'm looking forward to part 3!

Looka here man...

Speaking of Star Wars, here's a treat for you, something from the mind of Mr. Donald Faison!


It's part one of an epic story set in the world of Star Wars and animated with Legos!  I present to you the tale of...


Black Storm Trooper!





Donald animated 99% of this!  Not only is he a fine actor but he is also becoming quite a good animator as well.


We've been working hard on the next installment.  Part 2 coming soon!

I don't want just a burger!

Here's a spot from a few months ago for Carl's Jr. and their Philly Cheesesteak Burger.

Its one of three spots I worked on over @ BixPix with director Karni Baghdikian and lead animator Nancy Parczyk.

Small crew that was laid back and fun to work with.  It was also the first time I animated Legos professionally.  I think it turned out pretty well.

Now that's what I'm talking about!
