California Raisin restoration

Finally finished restoring this old California Raisin animation puppet for a collector.  Below is a work-in-progress shot.  Here's a link to the original commercial: Post Raisin Bran "Big Stars"

Ted 2 photos

Now that the movie is out, I will be posting more pictures from my year on Ted 2.  This is from one particularly interesting day, when the team was called in early to get some temp shots done quickly for a sequence called "Hooker Ted". 

In the L.A. studio

Working on a couple of small claymation projects for a short while, at my home studio in L.A., before starting on the next big CG project...

"Hell and Back" release date announced

Just announced - Hell and Back has gotten a distributor and a release date!  I animated on this at Shadow Machine under animation supervisor Misha Klein.  For an additional sequence added later, I was animation supervisor when Misha was unavailable.  It's not often that independent, r-rated, stop-motion animated features get made!

Ted 2 trailer released!

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.

working on Ted 2

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.
