As it too frequently happens, a job I was expecting to take me through November has just evaporated. So if anyone out there needs my animation, prop/puppet fabrication or design services, please contact me.

I love hearing that, THANKS! :)

Ah but that's already been done... BY HOLLYWOOD ITSELF! Many people are under the mistaken impression that Hollywood films no longer use miniatures but the reality is quite the opposite. Most of the biggest special effects films today use as many physically real landscapes as they used to, if...

Laika already has my showreels and my resume, they know they can call upon me at any time. What I'm really wanting to do however is not the style of animation Laika produces but to do more special effects for independent live action films. I can produce a level of realism to creature effects...

Thanks mang! :)

Laika knows I exist and I do know some people who have worked for that company, but thus far I've never had the pleasure of working for them. I'm capable of doing some compositing but, I'm not the one you want for that job. I'm primarily a puppet maker, animator, prop maker, painter and...

These are my two latest animation reels. Why 2 reels you ask? Because I cater to two completely different types of clients, one for horror film special effects and the other are clients in the TV/internet advertising world and they want to see very different things. This reel is my stop motion...

Here's a link to my video web-ad for affordable animated creature effects for independent film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZBc1_nDY2w

The low budget Indie Film 'Sinbad The Fifth Voyage' (for which I did the primary stop motion creature effects) has been picked up for a nationwide limited theatrical release and opens this Friday February 7th 2014. Here's the TV ad which was recently released for the film...

ChimpPhobia - You might be interested in seeing the shorter version of my reel that I cut yesterday. I felt it was wise to cut out all the cutesy stuff on a reel just for sending to studios and producers who would have no interest in that part of it. Since I posted this on Youtube late...

My stop motion animation reel demonstrates a range of styles, cartoonish stuff for TV commercials, impressionistic realism and the new breed of 21st Century realistic creature 'Dynamation'® style stop motion. (note to indie producer/directors: realistic stop motion is back baby! ...and the...

I did a quick search of this forum and I didn't find any threads discussing the topic of 3D Stereo film in Indie production... is this for real or did I not search well enough? We are on the doorstep of a 3D future in film making and viewing, is the Indie film world behind the curve?

Very true, another example is a film made by someone I'm happy to know as a friend - Tatia Rosenthal. She got funding to make her film '$9.99' because of her wonderful short film 'A Buck's Worth'. OK so let me write this down... (Ron grabs for pen and paper and starts to scribble) All I need to...

That's very much like my situation and I'm thinking that shooting an 'investors preview' isn't so much of an awful Idea... just don't bother with the credits and the voice over AS IF it were an actual preview. If you remove that aspect of it then all you're really shooting is test footage...

I went through this process once before, I have a feature length script I've written and made a short film to promote it. But when I wrote the short, I found it virtually impossible to extract any scene from the feature that worked well alone as a short on it's own... so I ended up having to...
