FILMS
Films are a huge part of my life. They are an amazing unique experience where for 2 hours you can be somewhere else, be someone else. It is escapism of the highest degree. The combination of the visuals, the acting, and the music combine together to create an environment where you forget you are even watching a film. This to me is art on a whole other level and after watching hundreds of movies and watching behind the scenes features and listening to commentaries, I decided to take a crack at it myself.
My first film is an animated film which let me combine my art along with my love of film to create a whimsical tale for kids that included many of the most famous fairy tales.
With the experience of making that film, I caught the bug and now have two more animated pieces in production as well as plans to delve into some live action films as well.

Amanda's Tale
Amanda's Tale is a story set in the land of Folklore. The evil Grimm kidnaps Mother Goose to use her fairy tale writing powers to reshape the world and all the fairy tales to his liking. It is up to her Mother Goose's daughter Amanda to travel throughout the fairy tales and rescue her mom. Along the way she'll recruit friends and enemies that will either help or hinder her quest.
Written, designed, storyboarded, drawn, colored, animated, edited, and even a few voices by myself.
A real test and training exercise in many areas of film making as well art. A grueling process that required a lot of patience but i wouldn't trade it for the world.
Took me 2 years to make and about two thousand drawings and with the help of friends lending their voices for the characters I made a 75 minute animated film. Where it all started, Amanda's Tale, right below.
Super Market
My second attempt at animation is a little short I made from an idea my friend had about Superman caught in a long line at the grocery store. It was a quick little project and allowed me to try out new techniques and get more experience for future projects.
