Nelly - Country Grammar (Documentary Animation)

I worked with Universal Records and Scheme Engine to create these animations for a mini Documentary for Nelly. The brief was to visualize some of the things he was saying, which meant creating narrative scenes based on spoken word. The great thing about animation is you can be as imaginative as you want and Director Chas Todd wanted to go full on dreamscape.

This is a further development in my technique for animating people. All the "Nelly" characters actions are actually me in a mocap suit. This data is then used on a 3D rig using custom shaders to give it an anime look.

This video shows all four of the scenes I built.

Sublime: Behind the Cover (Documentary)

This is a documentary I directed and animated for the band Sublime. It tells the story of how their name came about and the cover for their self-titled album.

It's full of 90s nostalgia, Long Beach, skate culture, Psychedelic art. I wanted to create this ska punk kind of black and white world that was injected with colour once the band started playing. Influence for the character design came from anime and shows like the Boondocks.

Motion Design Edit

An exploration of the perpetual journey of artistic reinvention.
Showing how embracing challenges can lead to profound transformation, and the birth of a stronger, more authentic self. Just as a caterpillar metamorphoses into a butterfly and a flower blossoms in the nourishment of rain, so too does the artist evolve through change, for it is the only constant in life.
