New look, New direction

Starting this fall I will be animating on Walt Disney's upcoming feature, Rapunzel. I want to focus my blog on the history and future of Disney animation for a while. It is what has inspired me to some day work for Walt Disney Animation Studios. It is really a dream come true, and I can't wait to be a part of the future of Disney animation.

Summer is here!

Finally, after a long exciting journey, animation for "Cloudy" is done. Time for summer vacation! Time to see lots of friends and family and spend lots of time in the sun and on the beach. I am SO looking forward to a 3 month long summer break, to relax and enjoy life, before its back in the grind of my next project. I won't say what that is just yet, but stay tuned! Wishing everyone a super summer!!

First Cloudy Trailer!

Princess and the Frog

I grew up on classic Disney. Disney in the late 80's and into the 90's made so many classic films that still inspire me and make me love what I do everyday. The characters, the story's and the music still get me every time. It was a golden era. Im not sure anything will inspire me like those films do. When I watch them I feel like a kid, and I am still in awe at how beautiful those films are. I think being a kid when I first saw them has something to do with why those movies stuck with me. Whatever it is, I love them. I always wonder if Disney could do another musical and create another classic Disney film. I am so excited for princess and the frog. I hope it reminds me of what I love about classic Disney. I am also excited that it takes place in my hometown, New Orleans.

First look

Here is the first released image of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs".

Moving on...

I have had a good time being back in Dallas, meeting new friends and seeing all the old ones. But time had come for my next excellent adventure. Time to pack it up, say goodbye and head back to the west coast. I couldn't be more excited to start my new adventure, see more old friends, meet new ones and be back in the game!

Cool Things!

Hello All! Its been a little while, and now I finally have some free time to post!! Today I finaled my last shot on Open Season 2! Awesome! The animation in this movie is really entertaining and I'm very proud of everyone at Reelfx for how well this looks. I am still unsure as to when the dvd will come out, but I'll be sure to post when it does!

In other great news..... I have recently joined the fabulous animation mentor crew! I will be starting next term as a campus mentor and I couldn't be more excited about it! I have been so impressed by this school, and the students that come out of it. I just really wanted to be a part of this new wave of animation. Is it great to have the opportunity to give back to the community and help people uncover their talents. I only wish I had something like this when I was struggling to teach myself animation. So that is AWESOME!!

Now, we are moving on to some REALLY fun stuff at work. I'm super excited... Updates to come!!
