AN ANIMATED LIFE

About me.
I am an Executive producer/ Animator/ Director and storyboard Artist that fell in love with film and animation when I was a kid and just never grew up.
When I'm not working on a specific project you'll find me at home working on personal projects or with my family.
MY WORK
My experience in storyboarding and telling stories through animation is something that I've been perfecting for over 30 years.
I love experimenting with new techniques that offer a fresh look or challenges me to tell the best story.

ANIMATICS
The following storyboard/animatic artwork is all my work. The drawings, the color, and the timing. I would love to say that I composed and conducted all the music used in my animatics as well but alas I used music (that I DO NOT OWN) as temp music. Please note, I did have an editor help me put these together.
PLEASE ENJOY!

Personal Projects Visual Development

This was a "yet to be produced" animated project that I helped design, develop and finalize the look and style for. It was an already existing property that I was asked to revamp and boy did I. I RE REVAMPED it. Storyline as well as the look. I was really hoping the project would go somewhere but unfortunately it was placed into the Area 51 warehouse currently holding vast amounts of amazing "unproduced" animated projects. The following are some of the visual development pieces I created. There is also a trailer I put together that turned out to be pretty good I think. Enjoy.
TRAILER

This is also one of those projects that unfortunately went into the animation Area 51 warehouse. Very sad for me as the director of what was to be a feature. I did finish some vis/dev art and a number of scenes before the studio pulled the plug. Take a look.
