This American Life T-Shirt Contest
I was recently honored to get the opportunity to submit a design for the TAL T-shirt contest. An amazing radio show, which I somehow end up referencing often, during daily conversations. I did not win, nor did my design make it into the favorites list. However, knowing that Ira and the cast laid eyes on my creation is prize enough.
"FRIDAY" The Animated Series (STORYBOARDS)
These next few video postings are storyboard segments created for the MTV animated show "FRIDAY" in 2006. Various episodes have been shown only a few times and at odd unexpected time slots. I'm really not sure why or what happened. Nonetheless It was a funny and exciting show to work on. Director Kevin Lofton had the storyboard team present the boards as animatics which were done in Flash. Allowing us to import audio as well as create camera moves, editing choices. and limited animation.
Disclaimer: Flash is extremely buggy and has serious problems when exporting to a Quicktime movie. It affects both video and audio. Resulting in ghost images and misplaced frames. And most annoying is that the audio at times starts to slip and no longer matches the action. But till I can find a better way to present these clips- these slightly messed up ones will have to do.

SHORT BUT SWEET
This is an old one. Flash animation from 2004. We had decided to make an animation flip book as favors for our wedding reception. The animation was done in Flash, exported to photoshop, printed out, and cut by hand. Hence the numbers on the left to make sure everything was in proper order in the end.It took many man and woman hours, and friends and family kindly donated evenings to our cause. In the end they came out really nice but it's probably something I will not attempt to ever repeat again. Life is just too short!
NO FIRE TODAY
When I was out jogging a few weeks ago a bunch of town volunteer fire trucks passed me doing 300 mph, sirens at full blast. The guys inside looked intense and eager to do battle with the blaze. They ripped down a side street and faded into the woods. Not more than 10 minutes later while I was trotting down another street one of the fire trucks came lumbering up over a hill, driving rather slowly, with only the groan of the engine filling the air. The passengers inside had such a deflated saddened look about them. There would be no fire that day to conquer. Back to the fire house and back to average lives they went.
