The Boxtrolls

I've been working Laika's next film, The Boxtrolls for the last two years.  Now, at last there's a real trailer for it! The film comes out September 26th.  For the most part on this film I was responsible for all the animator x-sheets, for those that don't know what that is, it involves breaking down the dialog into phonetics, frame by frame so the stop motion animators know which part of the word they're on when they're animating.  By the end I got to do the facial animation on a few shots as well.  It looks like VFX has been hard at work putting together the final look of the film.  This trailer looks great!

I'm Back!

Okay, I know it's been an embarrassingly long time since I posted anything.  For anyone that's actually reading this, thanks for sticking with me!  Awesome things are on the way, I promise!  The first instalment of my webisodes is in production.  And to prove it here is a frame from the first shot of the first webisode.

It's going to be a series of quick, one minute or so comedy bits.  One guy in an office and the infinite possibilities of poking fun at the world of work.  I want to release the first three all at once by the end of the year, since they're so short.  From then on, they'll be released one by one.  This blog is where you can get sneak peaks and tidbits about my progress, and of course the grand announcement that this project is finally out there and ready to be seen.  Stay tuned!!!
