Lipton Brisk Machete




This is a production photo from one of the three shots that I animated for the "Machete" Brisk commercial. Photo by Dick Kaneshiro, who assisted with the animation for this shot. This is part of a multi-spot ad campaign, so more to come...

stop-motion "Community"

I just recently returned from Burbank where I worked on a stop-motion Christmas episode of the NBC show "Community". NBC is hosting the episode streaming on their site, and I've embedded it below. It was an incredibly compressed schedule for the amount of work (22 minutes in six weeks) but somehow the team pulled it off. I animated about 12 shots during my two-week stint on the show.

Unfortunately the contract the production company signed with NBC didn't give us individual credits, but they probably would have zipped by too quickly to read anyway. The production company has put up a credit roll on their website.

Here's a clip in which Joel McHale talks about his puppet:
