2D Animation frames - axe maniac

This was a shot I took of a project I'm working on, a sequence of character animation frames with onion-skinning turned on, which lets you see ghosts of the following drawings. Working on this one in Toon Boom Animation software.

KIND Snacks - Kinetic Text Animation

This was a piece for KIND Snacks that Joe Cookie put together and I created the animated text lines for.

Character Costume Variants

Another month that just keeps flying by... Here was the remaining piece I did for the Gnome General concept art, a character design sheet with various different costumes and themes. It's actually a photo of my monitor, (Thanks instagram, you can find me @filthywill by the way) but I think it's just as effective.

Concept Painting 3 - Gnome Battle

This was one of the final concept art pieces I had created for a game in development. It is a Gnome battle game and this was just trying to capture the moment during game play.

Painted in Photoshop. You can see it consists of two opposing teams, and gnomes vary in size as well as their roles.

ESPN College Gameday intro

A few months ago I did some work helping hook up the set for the new ESPN College Gameday basketball intro, in which a big Mackelmore & Ryan Lewis party was shot. My contribution involved drawing and painting a lot of signs - most of them intentionally sloppy or amateur - to look like the kids holding them actually made them for a game. Lots of them.

Some of my craftsmanship can be seen in the following shots, namely the B-A-S-K-E-T-B-A-L-L arrangement in the center.

Snowduts

This was a little piece I threw together - since we got snow last weekend, I figured I would make the best of it.

Just went out and filmed this on a Canon t3i, and got a little busy in After Effects. The "Filthy" license plate was made in Photoshop and tracked for the first shot. The compositing effects are pretty self-explanatory - I basically masked/rotoscoped out the different clips with my car and the snow as they were all from the same frame in a couple of the shots where you see that take place. Also some selective time remapping for impact.

Concept Painting 2

Here's another concept painting from the series I began posting a week or two ago.

Nemo sketch

I'm stuck in the middle of the storm and I had whipped up a little tribute sketch...

Concept Painting

This is a piece I drew out and painted in Photoshop for a game in progress.

New Boston's Got Wings

Gonna kick off the New Year here with another Boston's Got Wings Rajon Rondo clip. Joe Cookie with the video and edits, Akrobatik with the voice talent, and I hooked up the animation clips.
