Really really honored to have done the Google Doodle today for one of my animation heroes Lotte Reiniger! She made the oldest surviving feature length animation, and created the predecessor to the multiplane camera, predating disney. Her films still hold up as extremely beautiful and witty fairy tales.

I’m really thankful to my team, who trusted me when I said I was going to build my own rig and puppets and film a 90 second short in a few months. 

Check it out [here] if you have a minute!

1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai. 

2. Previous post on breakdowns right here 

Some thoughts on acceleration and force

I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns. 

Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful. 

Not so much of a tutorial than a personal experience. I hope you find this interesting hahaha

This took way longer than I had hoped, thanks in no small part to how many times Flash crashed on me, but it’s finally “done:”  BLUNDERTALE

thank you all for your patience and support.  i’ll keep doing my best to give you the good yucks, but the new job is going to keep me strapped for time, and harsh reality is pushing me more towards trying to monetize the content.  so look forward to SIR selling the fuck out at some point in the nebulous future

Can you believe this was made in 2004? Great stuff.

Timing to beats is the best way to go, even without a backing track.

My good friend Mark Kausler perfectly encapsulates that late ‘20s/early ‘30s style of cartooning on this labor of love.

Now this makes me want to go back to animation!
