Here is My Motion Graphics Reel for 2018

It contains work from the following studios.

Evolution LA
Kabillion/Splash Entertainment
TV Guide Magazine
Cartoon Network

Above is my 2017 demoreel with clips from the Cartoon Network projects I worked on along with several of the web series, pilots and music videos I’ve developed over the last few years.

UPDATE!

 

So not only did I guest animate for Uncle Grandpa but I also got the chance to animate the game sequences for the regular show main title sequence. Sabrina Mati and I had a blast designing and animating!

 

 

 

Earlier this year I got the chance to bust my 3D low poly animation chops for a super special episode of Uncle Grandpa. Uncle Grandpa: Guest Directed Shorts. A friend and I were given the chance to recreate the intro animation in 3D low poly reminiscent to the old music video Dire Straits – Money For Nothing. The episode featured animation by other amazing animators and artist such as Pen Ward, Nick Cross, Max Winston, Mike Wartella, and of course none of it would have been possible without Pete Browngardt amazing artistic vision!

You can check out the first 2 minutes of the episode on the Cartoon Network website, or if you know how google works I’m sure you can find the full episode online for your viewing pleasure!

Hey all, I have a new short coming out soon. It’s going to be part of the animation YouTube  Channel Toonocracy and their season 3 line up. Here is a trailer, my short “Vision Porn” starts at 1:12. No it is not real porn, It is meant to be a visually overloading sensation hence the name!

 

*UPDATE*

Here is my actual Short Vision Porn Its a short, psychedelic experience meant to entrance viewers.

Check out my rad Demo reel cut together from the various animations Ive done for Loopdeloop, Freelance, and personal projects! Turned out really amazing!

Hey Everyone,

So as Some of you may know I recently started doing some awesome 3D animations, I am uploading not only to vimeo but to youtube as well. Vimeo is a wonderful place but with their upload limits of a free user account They are just not able to keep up with all of my HD demands! HAHA

So I am uploading to youtube now as well! I will still be uploading to vimeo and updating older videos into HD at the same time. I really love how vimeo has an automatic download feature and I want it to be nice and easy to download any of my videos!!!
