Coca Cola: Delivery

This spot was produced years ago by Wild Brain studio with George Evelyn directing.  This was a fun job actually.  The early CGI sets and BGs were supplied from Wild brain. Each frame was printed out, pegged up and this is what we matched our hand drawn images to. This was done at Gammage Animation. The classic retro character design was enjoyable to draw and George E is just a great guy to work for. A couple of my shots: 

Chobani- Eat today, feed tomorrow

 A shot I did for The Line studio.

Ludwig van Beethoven 250 yrs

"There are and always will be thousands of princes, but there is only One Beethoven!" 

Another great quote by the Maestro: 

One clashes with stupidity of all kinds. And then how much money must be spent in advance! The way in which artists are treated is really scandalous. I am compelled to give a third of my receipts to the manager of the theatre and a fifth to the hospitals. Devil take them! As long as these abuses exist, I shall always ask whether music is or is not an art that may be freely exercised. Believe me, there is nothing to be done for artists in times like these.

BELUSHI Documentary

Robert Valley strikes again designing and directing the animation for this documentary. I always enjoy working for Robert for numerous reasons,  but this was a particularly special job for me to be a part of. I grew up having a laugh from many of the comedians from this time period. So many of the old SNL and SCTV cast members are special for me. Learning more about John's life and struggles made his passing all the more tragic.

Rob allocated whole character sequences between Andy McPherson and myself. Here are a few of my shots: 

Andy and I split this shot- he animated young John

AMC Theatres Silence is Golden Soar Commercial

This commercial was produced at Yowza animation ages ago and directed by Elliot Bour & Saul Blinkoff. Dan Haskett did some designs I believe.  A couple of my shots.

Jorja Smith - Come Over

My colleague Andy McPherson, whom I consider a great artist invited me to animate a few shots on this video. The crew at Future Power Station studio were directing and producing the animation.

Speaking of Andy, I believe he animated the birds in this shot

Love Death + Robots: Zima Blue

My good mate and colleague Robert Valley directed this spot. After all these years of knowing him, he still is always a very entertaining, inspiring and fun person to work for. Not to forget the collective Animation and Production teams at Passion-Pictures who are second to none as well. I thoroughly enjoyed myself working with all these folks again on a project with more mature and diverse storytelling that I often feel is missing in North American animation. Hopefully it is a trend that will continue. Here are a few of my shots.
