Animation.

GIFs

Click to enlarge these short works. The first animation was created entirely in Adobe animate and tells the story of two kinds of visitors that head to the shores of The Cape each summer.

Next, an abandoned sandcastle signals the perfect getaway for an imprisoned crab. This is another Adobe Animate project, this time including some hand drawings.

Gonzo realizes he is the star - or does he? - in this early foray into stop motion animation using Adobe Premiere Pro.

The last two were created using multiple applications across the Adobe Suite and were used as the featured images for articles on Origin Stories and, what else? Tales of Revenge.

 Stingers and User Interface Design Motion Graphics

These animations were created for an imagined camping supply company, Sun Up Outfitters, using Adobe After Effects. The first is a logo stinger while the second is the user interface animation when reserving a campsite.

Text in Motion

I’m a big fan of text animation, be it in movies, on television or in simple GIFs used as memes across social media. I used some to link to the projects here on this site. All of them were created using Adobe After Effects.

Stop Motion

Working first on paper and later in Photoshop, I created the characters, props, and, sets for this sci-fi-inspired stop motion satire ahead of the 2020 election. I kept the rough edges and set the frame rate to 12fps in Adobe Premiere Pro to reflect the charm of the stop motion seen in early sci-fi films, like the ones seen on Creature Double Feature. It is a style I have come to love and am working to refine.
