.:: Ollie Johnston (1912-2008)

Monday saw the passing of an amazing individual. I think this article best sums up how his passing should be viewed. I know he will be missed by many. But his inspiration and influence will live on.

.:: Hulk Poster Love

Meh.... so "Love" might be a bit much. Can't say that I am personally blown away by the poster. But I still think the movie is going to be fun.

.:: Salmon Dance Video

This is a great video I saw a while back, but had forgotten about. Hayk passed it my way again this past week and I definitely thought it was worth sharing. The animation was done by Framestore CFC and I think they did an awesome job of keeping a very naturalistic feeling to the moments and actions of the fish while bringing out their personalities and performance. If you want to read a bit more about it, head here. Otherwise watch it below. Be aware, there is some language in the song... just to let you know.

I happened upon this Best Animated Short Oscar winner from 1992, and thought it was definitely worth sharing...

.:: Hulk Hits the Web

The countdown has officially begun. And this is one of the main reasons I have not been posting for a while. Due to being in crunch time at work, I pretty much take every moment away from work to play with my little clone and sleep..... But if you are curious as to what exactly it is I have been working on for the past several months.... here is a little glimpse.

.:: Almost here... and a glimpse at some of my work.

So here is a clip from "Alvin" that I found on AOL Video. One of my shots is in here, but it's cut off.... I animated the shot at the end of this clip, where Simon is saying "Filthy creatures Dave, never associate with them." It is followed by Theodore saying "Yeah, you're our only friend!" -- But in this compilation, it cuts Theo off after "Yeah". Kinda neat seeing some of my work making its way out into the world. Be sure to go check it out and let me know your thoughts.... I can already tell you, I think it's cute. And I know the kids are going to love it.

.:: Along for the Ride

Life has been a whirlwind this year. From jetting out to Los Angeles in May, along with selling the house and packing up. To animating on "Alvin" and getting settled out here. But as overwhelming and hectic as it has been, it's been a blast. I am happy to say it looks as if I will be staying here in LA at least through May '08.

I have been asked to come back to R+H to animate on "The Incredible Hulk". And as an fiend on the comic book universe, especially in my childhood (I think I killed 40,000 trees with the amount of comics I had... and it was worth it), this is quite honestly a dream come true. I am excited to see how the show rolls along.
