start to 1:30: stop motion, puppeting, pixelation and mixed media animation
1:30 - end: hand drawn, photo cut out, Flash, After Effects, and mixed media animation
I am a versatile director and animator who easily transitions across different media to create distinct looking visuals appropriate to the project. I have 20+ years of experience in traditional stop motion, hand drawn and Flash and After Effects animation, creating animation for film, television, web, and apps for clients such as MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., PBS's Reading Rainbow, Cartoon Network, Lavazza, Starbucks, Oreo, Walmart, Walgreens, and McDonalds, and I have directed music videos for Marilyn Manson and Fuzz Townshend and animated videos for Jeru the Damaja and Train.
Recently, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with children's book author Mo Willems on eleven different film projects, and two apps.
