I apologize for not posting in forever, it just seems like there's so much stuff out on the web, no one has time to read a blog. Nevertheless, I'll try to catch up in chronological order with all of the things I have worked on in the last two years.<br />
<br />
First up (I went into production on this right after "Bubbles Burst") are two segments that I directed for Shadow Machine, under supervising director Ross Shuman. These were aired on MTV's "Greatest Party Story Ever"<br />

Got a nice mention from Ryan Tudhope in this overview of the VFX work we did at Atomic Fiction on Deadpool. Thanks to my great animation team for seeing it thru: Cameron Folds, Julie Jaros, Guido Muzzarelli, Scott Fritts, Don Waller, Mark Powers, Jeremy Bolan, Ryan Bradley, Adam Klein, and Mike Dacko.<br />
<br />
I'm particularly proud of the shot below, which seems silly because it's not a "hero" shot of our CG Deadpool. But in fact, the interior car shots were a big deal because the entire background was CG and there were a lot of car continuity issues, and the motion of the CG SUV became the camera car with the matchmove riding on top of it...<br />

I am just finishing up my Animation Supervision duties at Atomic Fiction on Deadpool, for which we did some very complex vfx in a couple of sequences. You can see some of our work in this trailer, but I'm still under NDA so I can't really say what it is. Go see it!</div>

Hell and Back didn't get a lot of attention when it was released in theaters, but it's now available on video and online and maybe it will find it's audience. Check it out!</div>

In between and around Ted 2 duties and starting on a new CG project at Atomic Fiction, and back-and-forth between L.A. and Oakland, I contributed to a new clay animated music video for Primus. The band was happy with the way the Beats Antique/Les Claypool "Beezlebub" video turned out and asked Ivan Landau about doing another. Unfortunately I was too busy to take it all on, but my friends Edgar Humberto Alvarez and Scott Nordlund stepped in to work on it. Below are my three main clips, then the final video.<br />

Around February 2015, while working on Ted 2, I was invited sorta out-of-the-blue to a stranger's house in L.A. to do a podcast interview. It turned out to be a really fun evening, talking with Joe and Ami about animation, game work, and so on...<br />

The trailer for Ted 2 has just been released. I've been working on this since last June and we still have a lot of work to do. The movie is coming out this Summer.</div>

In June, I returned from India to start right in on Ted 2. I've been on location doing on-set motion capture and postvis - first in Boston, now back in Los Angeles. Here's a shot from a difficult location, where we actually recorded mocap next to a car on a busy sidewalk on Beacon Hill.<br />

I just returned to the U.S. from a two-and-a-half month stint in Mumbai, India, at Prime Focus on Sin City 2. I was previs/layout/animation lead under supervisor Kyle Jefferson. It was difficult, but also crazy fun and India was life-changing. My experience on the show was very reminiscent of my time at The Orphanage in San Francisco, where we worked on several projects for Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller.</div>

I was invited to bring some friends who worked on it. This is me with the band and <a href="https://vimeo.com/channels/520317">Edgar Humberto Alvarez</a> who helped out by sculpting the train and the initial versions of the band. I put a little display together of their puppet alter-egos and gave it to them after the show. Photos courtesy of Edgar's Go Pro. <br />

I was able to produce it with generous help from the owners of <a href="http://www.shadowmachine.com/" target="_blank">Shadow Machine</a>, with sculpting assistance from my friends Edgar Humberto Alvarez and Rich Zimmerman. I also re-used an old puppet that Damon Bard and Lionel Orozco helped build (a robot) and a record store set built by Dave Waddle a number of years ago. I'm looking forward to seeing it in front of a live audience when their concert comes to Hollywood next month. <br />

The director is Ivan Landau, whom I worked with at The Orphanage in San Francisco, and the whole project is being produced through a company that does large-scale projection mapping, Obscura Digital.<br />
<br />
Ivan is giving me a lot of freedom to put wild images on the screen as I see fit, and I'm using a lot of old characters that I've had in boxes for years. I've also been doing a lot of previs off-and-on while working on this. I'm featured in the video below and there are clips of some of my animation. More info and pictures to come.<br />

I had a little time in-between shows to cut together a reel of my some of my postvis work from the movie. This includes temp Ted shots and a few of the temp VFX shots that I did (sky replacements with shooting stars, a photo replacement). There's no accompanying music our sound fx, just intermittent dialogue. Also, VFX supe Blair Clark asked me not to do any lip-sync for Ted, so it's just facial expressions.<br />

I haven't been drawing much lately. But here's a mutant that I just drew tonight. This is the mutant that I tend to draw when I can't think of anything else to draw. I think he's a close cousin of one of the "Make Your Own Name" monster cards from the 60's, by Norm Saunders. I've animated him before in little snippets.</div>

I animated on the pilot at Shadow Machine, it's mostly an animatic with about 7 minutes of finished animation. You can watch the pilot here: <a href="http://amzn.com/B00CDBQ9B8">Dark Minions on Amazon Prime</a> Too bad, but it was super fun to work on and the team at Shadow Machine was superlative, to say the least. The other animators on the pilot were Hilary Lyle, Rachel Larson, Dan Driscoll, Drew Hodges, Cean Huckabay, and Owen Klatte. All under the Animation Supervision of Misha Klein and directed by Ross Shuman. <br />

After completing the shots, I pitched to him the idea of doing a third shot in stop-motion for a different part of the film. This is a breakdown reel that explains the making of the three shots. And thanks to my old pal Lionel Orozco for giving me a very kind write-up about this on his site: <a href="http://www.stopmotionworks.com/news/index.php/531/stop-motion-2d-cgi-chameleon-like-webster-colcord">Stopmotionworks</a><br />
