Some Jars I Animated To Be Used As Ident Type Things In A Recent Screening. The Jars Themselves Were

Some jars I animated to be used as ident type things in a recent screening. The jars themselves were drawn by the talented and incredibly handsome Ariel Victor. I wanted to animate them straight ahead, but they needed to resolve themselves into Ariel's illustrations, so I animated them all backwards. It's a fun technique to play around with, "straight behind animation"- the end results are far from logical or naturalistic, but you still arrive at intrinsically satisfying movements.

With animations like 'Man Spaghetti', did you storyboard that or just made it up as you animated it?

With Man Spaghetti, I storyboarded a few seconds of stuff, then started animating it, while continuing with the storyboard as I went. All my work is made with some variation of this technique, and the first thing I usually animate on a film is the opening shot. So my work is planned out, but it's like in Wallace & Gromit, where Gromit gets stuck on a toy train, and is laying out the track in front of the train as he goes. That's my production schedule right there.

"I know longer wish to see your art, due to differing views on excessive meat dishes."Unrelatedly, this is my duck, Lady Guinevere.
