MY LATEST MOVIE

Make sure to check out PUSS IN BOOTS this Halloween weekend. I saw it last weekend with the crew and it turned out amazing. The imagery is beautiful, the animation is incredible and it's genuinely enjoyable from beginning to end. Antonio Banderas steals the show again as Puss. The best thing about this movie is it doesn't feel like a sequel to Shrek. They don't even mention Shrek. It really stands on it's own as a great animation adventure movie.
Go see it and let me know what you think.

P.S. If you're curious about what I animated in it. I did a couple shots with the old crazy man in the prison, I did a bunch of shots during the wagon chase, the campfire scene, the golden egg scene, and the giant goose. I came on pretty late in the movie but I got a couple fun shots.

MOVING ON TO A NEW SCENE

Well here's a background from another scene in my short. Something a little a little warmer than a dark forest.

TEACHING MYSELF TOON BOOM

I've been animating in 3D for so long now that I've really begun to miss 2D.
I thought I'd pick up Toon Boom and try and learn the new software so I can start making my own little cartoons. Here's my first attempt at doing a full shot.
It's really rushed and stupid. But it was just a way to get to know the tools.
Dont judge me too hard.
