Boxtown - Executive Producer
I'm currently serving as Executive Producer on this amazingly funny and inventive indie animated show called "Boxtown" from creator Charlie Gavin, starring Alex Hirsch and Sarah Lew. I also boarded the scene below which is currently in animation. the full board is available with a password here. More about the show here.
Summer Memories (TV Series)
I produced, directed, acted in and wrote music for this indie show based on my own diaries. In the US you can watch the entire show on Roku for free, here. The show started life as a Nickelodeon short available here. I will add a broader section with more materials from its production, it truly was a labor of love made with some fantastically talented writers and actors.
The Alvinnnn show
I was supervising producer on the Alvin and the chipmunks show on Nickelodeon, which ran for 5 seasons. I supervised the entire animation and lighting crews from the client side in LA. I also storyboarded the episode below.
A.L.L.E.N
Recently made this pilot animatic presentation for a new idea about a teen AI being raised by scientist parents.
Feature Animation Supervisor
I was an animation supervisor in feature films for 8 years, including all Chipmunks films at Rhythm & Hues and WETA, The Night In The Museum franchise, as well as being part of the team that headed development on Life of Pi and Snow White and The Huntsmen, among others. Not featured is my work at WETA and as an animator at ILM.. coming soon!
Notes & Drawings
I doodle a lot as part of my job, so here are some random notes and drawings from over the years. they range from studies, to notes on 3d models and shapes, to board thumbnails etc. All part of the animation production process.
Writing Samples
I love writing. Here are some samples of my writing from "Summer Memories" - the pilot script and episode two. My feature script "Antler" is available with a password as well. As a writer I am represented by Chris Sablan at Avenue 220.
WOLF!
I was directing this theatrical short at Rhythm & Hues when it sadly collapsed; we were entering final boards, modeling and concept art. The short story is of a boy whose fear of the dark tells the form of a wolf, whom he then makes friends with as he grapples with his biggest fear.I like it! I should make it sometime.
