Of course, not content with a mere single drawing, I have to go crazy and attempt to animate something in that short chunk of time. Sometimes I'm even successful!
| Lipsync I was supposed to do a lipsync assignment for class where I was to use some stock heads with mouth shapes and animate using them to found audio. Naturally, I couldn't do anything that simple. I conned a friend into making mouth shapes for me to animate to and then animated them. I'm such a nerd that I was animating largely by looking at the waveform rather than listening to the sound, so when I played it back for the first time, I got a bit of a surprise. It made me giggle so I kept it. Awooooga! | Quicktime |
| Beware Bewaaare Another animation for class. Again on my 386. :) | AVI Movie |
| Dance Experiment with character motion in clay. | MPEG Movie |
| It's not Ecco Another early 3d animation. Again created on my mighty 286. | AVI Movie |

| Flash Some of the projects I did for my Flash animation class in 2004. | Directory |
| Thingymadoodle Some kind of weird perpetual motion device. Also for class. This is a good example of using math in animation. The gear rations andanimated textures on the belts were all designed mathmatically to make this machine work. | AVI Movie |
| Free as a Bird It's been a long time coming but it's finally compete, all rendered in charcoal on paper. There are tons of things I could do to improve it now but it's time to move to a new project. At last, I'm free. :) | Quicktime |

| Style This is a reel of 2D effects I did for my 2D computer animation class. Kinda new-agey and artsy. Done on a 386! This copy is very lossy, but you get the general idea. | Quicktime |
| Bouncing Balls Characterization study using very simple objects. Lotsa fun! | Quicktime |
| Games My final project from my 3D class, I'd been bit by a dog and my hand was braced and bandaged when I did this, so it's not my best work. Not to mention, the only copy I had of it was on VHS and I wasn't able to retrieve it from tape until June of 2001, so it's atrocious. Still, there's a couple of nifty moments in it, and it's my only large 3d project. | AVI Movie |
| Circuit Shorts-1.0 Blue Screen of Death "Circuit Shorts" is my current project. It's a series of animations, capturing the secret lives of the demons which lurk inside your average home computer. | Quicktime |
| Persimmon Persimmon is a happy bouncy little grey squirrel. This directory is stuff related to an animated version of her I may one day finally get around to doing. | Directory |
| IronClaw "IronClaw" is an anthropomorphic fantasy role-playing system from Sanguine Productions, Ltd. I put together this animation for them as a promotional trailer in just under a week by using some of the images from their book. "IronClaw" is a trademark of Sanguine Productions, all characters depicted are Copyright of Sanguine Productions and their respective artists. | Quicktime |
| FCTV Further Confusion has its own TV station for the weekend of the convention. These are a few of the animated shorts that I've created for them to run between their longer programs. | Directory |

| Flare Starfire An art exchange I did with Flare StarFire, a musician I met at Further confusion 2004. | Flash |
| Ship This is a pretty cheap effect. I did this animation in about half an hour, getting ready for class, but it looked kinda cool. Play it in a loop! :) Created ~1998 | AVI Movie |
| 10 second club Every month, the 10 Second Club gives animators a 10-second clip of audio to animate to and a month to do it. At the end of the month, everyone votes, and the best renditions win a prize. The idea of this one is expressive character animation. Most of the entires are usually 3D but 2D and clay are welcome as well. | Directory |
| Meow Simple-polygon kitten, simple animation. Just a short project fooling around with Maya 5. | Quicktime |
| Political Short animations I've done with a political bent. Most of these aren't very good. | Directory |
| The Chase Hand drawn and ink-and-paint in ToonBoom, two children getting plenty of exercise. | Flash |
| Artist Ambush The Artist's Ambush is a weekly thing that I go to now and then. Basically, the host gives a subject and you have a half hour to draw that subject in your own way. We then compare them and give a prize to whoever's interpretation is liked best. Though for the most part, we go more to learn and challenge ourselves than to 'win'. It's a sure cure for writer's block. Of course, not content with a mere single drawing, I have to go crazy and attempt to animate something in that short chunk of time. Sometimes I'm even successful! |
