Mr Ballen - Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories.

I've been listening to Mr. Ballen  off and on for some time now.  John really has an engaging way of telling stories and I enjoy listening to him while I'm working. It was around 2022 that I noticed he had a logo representing his content which inspired me to do some rough animation incorporating that design. It's only just recently that I have had some time to have been able to finish off those concepts.

2-D FX animators like the very old school Disney bunch, guys like Michel Gagné and my friend Raymond Pang I've always held a great deal of respect for.  But after messing about with hand drawn FX myself, I now have an even greater admiration for those artists. I'll be keeping to the character stuff from now on.

Speaking of respect, Mr. Ballen who is also a Veteran, gives a lot of support to the Veteran Community, people with mental help concerns and many other groups in need. Such as those affected by violent crimes. Check out the Ballen Foundation:

And here is the animation I did with his logo, Thanks to Editor Daniel Budin for adding the SFX.
