    uniE608 Old Love
    The music video I created for Joe Hertler and The Rainbow Seekers. This was a combination of mediums. The characters were first animated with Cel animation in Photoshop. Then individually cut out into colored paper and reshot on 4 layers of glass in a multiplane system. Then additional cel and motion graphics were added to marry it all together. #animator #musicvideo #2danimation #animation #celanimation #stopmotion
    uniE608 Rocket Boots Dude
    A loopable short I created about a dude with rocket boots. He just wants to fly! Original character based off a design by Jordi Ros. Everything else including music and sound created by me. #animator #director #2d #2danimation #celanimation #shortfilm #loop
    uniE608 Spider-Man vs Vulture
    A short, stop-motion film to promote Marvel/Hasbro's new Spider-man action figure. This was a thrill to get to work on as I'm a big Spidey fan and love bringing action figures to life. #animator #videoeditor #advert
