Suppen Kasper

After creating The story of Little Suck-a-Thumb (Daumenlutscher) I decided I wanted to animate another story from the Struwwelpeter book. But this time instead of paper cutouts I wanted to animate the actual illustrations from the original book.  Using the new Puppet tool in After Effects I was able to create a creepy dance to the character.  JDSY over dubed the audio and helped me break some plates for SFX.  The music was composed by Steve Dannemiller.

Brael – Blue Field

A music video for the song Blue Field by the band Brael that unfortunately was never completed due to an alien invasion of Martin’s brain.  It now exists as the opening video for the bands website.

Talk Market Animated Clips

I normally reserver my website for my personal work, however when I was contact by the Talk Market to create some custom animations for their website they said I could do whatever I wanted as long as I used their logo and one of their selected “buzz words”.  With that type of creative freedom I went all out and crated a series of animated clips using a variety of different tradition and digital techniques.  

If your interesting in hiring me for freelance work please contact me.

Avant Bard

Avant Bard is homage to the experimental and avant-garde films of the 1920′s and 30′s.  Created in collaboration with Kim Johnson and music composed by JDSY.

Nuff Said:

Seed of Change (Cepia – Hoarse)

Created in collaboration with Aaron Mustamaa and Mike Bielenda at the College for Creative studies.   This film went on to making to the semi-finals of the Adobe Design Achievement Awards  and won a prize at the grand rapids film festival.  It is hosted on the inspration section of the toolfarm website.

The video was inspired and crated for the song Hoarse by Cepia, that was released on the Idol Tryouts 2 compilation by Ghostly International.

Treasure Chest

Treasure Chest was my first stop-motion animation.  I wanted to keep the story short and sweet.  Using minimal set design and focusing instead on lighting and shot composition to set the mood.
