Animation
Over the years, I've been fortunate and thankful to have had the opportunity to create animation in a variety of different styles. I have enjoyed the creative challenges that each style brings to the production process. It has allowed me to grow as an artist and animator. Here are a few video samples of the different types of animation I've created for movies, episodic series, advertising, educational content, music videos, explainer videos, and PSAs.
Wolfboy and the Everything Factory - A small sample of character animation that I did for the Apple TV series Wolfboy and the Everything Factory. Contracted through Bento Box Entertainment, LLC.
Food Detectives - Some of my character animation in this fun and educational 5 episode series for the Beecher's Foundation. Contracted through Chase A Cloud animation studio.
The Little Rascals Save the Day - I had the pleasure of animating the title sequence for the film. I designed and animated all of the characters, BGs, and props. Directed by Mark Simon and Alex Zamm. Contracted through A&S Animation and Universal Studios. All Copyright Universal Studios.

Silly Songs - I created this animated video titled "Do You Like Broccoli Ice Cream?" for the folks at Super Simple Learning.
