I made a weird experimental short for @dj_fukboy ‘s Midnight Movie. Watch it. The whole thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy9OEh3xM7A&t=6s https://www.instagram.com/p/BoXV6IXHdJe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hsztygsyldz4

A week ago today, we wrapped principal photography for my new short film “Sweet Nothings”. It’s a sci-fi comedy about the future of dating apps. I am beyond grateful to everyone who came together to help shoot this project; actors @zackkozlow , @baemartek and @jordeekopanski were perfect, @camaraflage @aleksandrahandsome and @jcern were an invaluable art team, @dj_fukboy kept us fed and on schedule, @gcopola and @nicola__newton handled the rest of the crew positions, and it’s currently taking all of my willpower to not drop the rest of @victoringles ‘s gorgeous shots on all my social media platforms. This being my first live action project since film school, I could not be more excited to to share it with the world, hopefully towards the end of this year. Till then, here’s some wonderful stills and BTS photography by @ntfcameras . #filmmaking #independentfilms #lowbudget #datingapp #comedy #scifi #losangeles #filmproduction #set #filmindustry #film #cinematography #screenwriting #makeup #adulting https://www.instagram.com/p/BmoY25Pn7VZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wj54g4r2yzf1

This background is going to be out of focus on the actual movie so I wanted to give it a moment in the spotlight. #animation #design #3d #photoshop #adobe #autodesk #maya #aesthetic #texture #animalshelter #cat #cage #cartoon #filmmaking

Fun fact about my piece from yesterday: I pulled Giger’s pupils straight out of an actual photo of him. @hr_giger_museum #hrgiger #gigermuseum #switzerland #zurich #art #illustration #cartoon #design #photoshop #eyes

Made this as an inside joke for my cousin to celebrate our love for the fact that HR Giger built a spooky little train to ride around his house in Zurich. Also I visited Switzerland last week and it was amazing.

It's time to start animating Ruthie! Did this walk cycle to get into it. Still a work in progress but her peppy vibe is definitely coming across. #catsofinstagram #cats #animation #art #adobe #photoshop #aftereffects #walkcycle #filmmaking #cartoon #mondaymotivation

This first walk cycle was too much of a fail to even merit exporting. Enjoy...?

Had so much fun designing this poster for @camaraflage 's delightful musical "Going Mental". It will begin its festival run at @awarenessfest on October 15th. Honored to have contributed to this project and excited to see where it goes! #musical #goingmentalfilm #depression #anxiety #movie #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #awarenessfest #movieposter #design #photoshop

With Comic-Con on the horizon, I've decided to put together a pitch book for Caged. You never know who you might meet! Here's one of my favorite pages so far. #art #animation #cartoon #cat #animalshelter #pets #illustration #lighting #tv #filmmaking
