Shopping!
Ever look around the mall and see some guy tagging behind his girlfriend while she looks at every single piece of clothing in the entire women section? They need more pubs and bars in malls for guys to chill out while they shop.

Rough Animation by the Masters
I got this little bit of info from the Victor Ens blog. It has some really cool rough animation from some of the great animators. Glen Keane, Milt Kahl, and Ollie Johnson, just to name a few.

DAN AYKROYD IN HALIFAX
These are just a few pics taken from Paul, of Dan Aykroyd making a guest appearance last week at a small blues bar here in Halifax. A few of us went there for 7 to have some awesome ribs and beer and to chill out until the dan showed up. When he did (around 11), people went nuts and camera flashes were going all over the place. He went right up on stage, played one song, and then scooted out in the back. That was it?? One friggin song??? Oh well, at least we saw him, and his blues brothers car parked out front.

My Poncho Animation Short #2
This is the second short that I had to animate over at copernicus studios. Again, the bg's, special effects and sounds were all being done in Mexico at the time. I apologize for the sound being off. It happens sometimes when it goes thru YouTube and Im still trying to find a way of fixing it. I'll try and post the third short next week. Cheers!

GLEN KEANE LECTURE AT CAL ARTS
I found these on youtube of Glen Keane giving a lecture to students way back when Aladin was being made. He covers a lot of material that I found interesting, and useful. Just wanted to give the heads up that its really hard to see the images on the overhead projector because the filming was very old. Ahhh the classic VHS. Also, there are 13 parts to this lecture, about 4-5 minutes each, so I had no way to post them all up. If you want to see the rest of them, just type in glen keane in your search. On that note...enjoy!

Free Time
When you draw on a wacom tablet seven days a week, 10 hours a day, it can be very difficult to find time to draw your own stuff on paper. Thats why, if you have any time at all, you take it. These are just a few doodles I did with the 5-10 minutes I had free from my busy schedule. No real thought process with these, I just let the pencil do all the work.

INSPIRATION MONDAYS #2
After doing almost 3 years of both classical and symbol animation for flash, I wonder how it would feel going back to animating with paper and pencil. I know that flash makes it easier, and faster, but I miss the flipping of paper between my fingers and the overall look on a line test. Oh well, maybe I'll try it again some time. Heres a collection of rough animation from the Emperors New Groove DVD. Cheers!

Hammy's Boomerang Adventure Short
Here is the short found on the "Over The Hedge" DVD, which I believe came out onTuesday. I must say that I like the snappy animation of the squirrel, but its still a little too cutesy for me. I still havent seen the actual movie yet, but I hear its pretty good. Maybe I'll just save my pennies to buy it for that rainy day.
Beer and pizza tonght! TGIF!!

Inside Pixar!
Ever wonder what it looks like inside one (if not..THE) most popular animation studio? These are pics taken from someone on the Pixar Tour, and they're amazing. Check out the games room!! I know it looks cool inside, but I've heard that animators work their asses off night and day. But still, come on...Its Pixar.

MY PONCHO ANIMATION
Here is the project I did while working at Copernicus Studios, and done completly in flash. Each person in the studio was given one short to do, of Poncho the Football trying to do whatever it takes to play in the soccer finals in Germany. All the animation was done by myself, and all the special effects and backgrounds were done in Mexico. I was pretty happy with how this turned out, except for a few small changes the producers wanted. 1) They had the pilot shake his fist and 2) the bird was changed to climb the planes wing on the left side, rather than the right. Oh, and it was for Spanish television. But this is what is said:
Poncho: C'mon Duck, we got to go where the planes is!
Duck: Bah-k
Poncho-Quit yer back wackin Duck, nothin is going to happen to us!
Poncho: Hey open up!!!
Pilot: Hey!!!
Pilot:Here try this!!
Poncho:Ye-haw!!
Pilot:Bah!
Poncho: Germany Here I come!!!
Poncho: Hey Ducky, wheres your feathers??
Poncho: No,No,No, Dont...Yeaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Duck: Germany...Here I Come...HaHaHaHa
Poncho:Look out Below!!!!
Poncho: Donkey..This is your lucky day..We'sa going to Germany...YEEEHAAA!!!
If I can find more episodes I did..I'll try and post them up later..until then..enjoy PONCHO THE FOOTBALL.
Cheers!

Line Of Action
Noticed this in the local paper. This is a young kid doing the Micheal Jackson dance on the waterfront. This is a great example of silouette and line of action. Great poses!!

INSPIRATION MONDAYS
Yes, the weekend is over and its time again for another long week. So I thought I would start posting every Monday a kind of motive to get out of that slump and back into action. These clips are from a graduating class from Paris, France. If this is the talent that is coming into the animation world...we're in trouble. These guys are unbelievable!!!
Now start animating!!!
Cheers!
Now start animating!!!

Here are a few characters I designed for a project at Copernicus Studios. Nothing too special, Murray asked me if I wanted to design some background characters. All this week i have been plugging away at my website, and if everything goes well, it should be up and running by Monday. Lets cross our fingers!
