Billy West & Matt O'Callaghan Daffy's Rhapsody Interview!

Matthew O'Callaghan was a great director to work with. It was a dream being a part of his clear, creative vision. He knows how to direct animators and I very much hope to work for him again in the future.

Reel FX's new branding

I had the joy of animating on this marketing campaign upstairs with the commercial department! I animated the the octopus 'R' and timed out the city 'R' in 3D as planning for the stop-motion part. Take a look, if you're interested!

Daffy's Rhapsody out this Friday, February 10th

In front of "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," "Daffy's Rhapsody" will probable blow your mind! This was the first project I had worked on as an apprentice here at Reel FX and I'm ecstatic to see its release!! Animating to the original voice actor of Daffy was really something else. Mel Blanc's voice, taken from an old song he sang in the '50's, is front and center in this short, as it should be. If you have any interest in seeing Journey 2, I hope that you enjoy our hard work on, what I feel to be, a magnificent effort to preserve what made Daffy and Elmer a classic.

Sylvester and Tweety 3D short Clip

In front of Happy Feet Two, enjoy this short film we worked on! WB was going to put Daffy's Rhapsody in front, but though it'd be best to save that for another movie because it has a gun in it. If this was 10 years ago, i bet they would have decided to add more guns.

Here's a clip of the short film

Daffy/Elmer Sneak Peak!

The 2nd half of our Daffy and Elmer short was shown here at about 28 minutes in! All three of the shots I animated are shown, so that's pretty cool. I wonder if that means i can put them on a demo reel? Hmm, gotta ask my supervisor tomorrow about that.

I wonder why they chose to show the back half instead of the front.
