Ferdinand

I had quite a nice time animating on this film, now that you mention it. Especially the second half of production was pretty enjoyable for me. I'm responsible for all the animation except the single black and white shot for context, all spectators in the arena, and the pedestrians on the sidewalks in the segway chase shot.

Collision Course

Ridiculous editing is more fun than serious editing. I suspect we won't be making another Ice Age so I'm glad I got to work on the former flagship franchise that started it all for Blue Sky Studios. A reel breakdown identifying what I did not animate is in the video's description.

The Peanuts Movie

I hope you enjoyed watching this film as much as I had working on it. Which was a whole bunch! Here we have my favorite of the shots I animated for it.

Peanuts Teaser released

I've been working in pre-production on this show for the past 8 months and am very encouraged by the amount of positive reactions. We are doing our best to make Schulz proud.

"Turkeys" name changed to "Free Birds" and moved back to 2013

In front of Monsters University, the trailer for this Reel FX produced cartoon seems to be generally well received. I had one shot on the film, before leaving to Blue Sky, so I'm on the edge of my seat to see if my name will be in the credits. The trailer looks much funnier than what I had seen while there, so I'm excited for it. I wish RFX and my friends there all the best in regards to "Free Birds." November 1st 2013, y'all!

Some Closure for "Epic"

Working at Blue Sky Studios is something I hope to do for many years into the future. I'm closer to my family, I'm paid fairly, the position is staff, the people are wonderful, the morale is threw the roof. "Epic" has been out in theaters for over a month and will be on DVD in August; we've all moved onto new shows.

 It was not a financial hit for Blue Sky, but it was a significant landmark for my life. Seeing just how much joy and satisfaction I can find in a job is confirmation of the decisions, hard work, and years leading up to this moment. I've felt several times in the past that I had chosen poorly and the sacrifice wasn't worth the reward. I know now that all of this wasn't a mistake. I've worked at Blue Sky for a little over eight months and I've never been so happy with such bright prospects. I clearly see vast room to grow and have been shown trust by those up the ladder. If I'm sure about anything right now, it's that God's blessed me.
