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.

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.  

“The Precious” (24 Hour Compeition)

A very quick video created for 24 hour video competition at CCS.  Their were three teams, traditional animation, 3D animation and lastly the motion graphics group.  Aaron Mustamaa was the only one who wanted to join me in the third group and together in about 8 hours in the basement of CCS.  Every team was to create an animation based on the same audio  sample from Lord of the Rings.  Aaron and I jammed out on two PC computers since After Effects installed on the Intel Mac was not a Universal Binary program at the time.  This allowed for faster rendering and quick turnaround of the video.  The following video was the result:

THUMP!

This is a very short 3D animation I produced in College.  I have since loss interest in persuing 3D animation, however I may sometime change my mind.

The story of Little Suck-a-Thumb (Daumenlutscher) – Struwwelpeter

Inspired by the childrens book Struwwelpeter, this remake of the Daumenluscher story was created out of papercuts taken from 1960′s fation magazines.  I decided to change the ending of the story to be more humerious.  Apprently I am not the only one who finds this story worth animating, another darker version of the story exsists.  A few years later I would create another animation from teh Struwwelpeter book Suppen Kaspar.
