The Planting Song

This one was finished up a few weeks ago, and is doing well for Sockeye's YouTube channel. As usual, I am given a lose script and a track to work from. I do storyboard, all animation and comp, and edit. I helped with the re-design of the main characters. I thought this one came out pretty well, and the song is cute and catchy to boot.

(Yes I am aware that Mary's hand is backwards in the video thumbnail. I don't do those :) )


McDonald's UK Spot

I helped animate this spot at Hornet a few months ago. It had been a little while since I was able to animate traditionally, so it was a lot fun. It features the most recent incarnation of The Secret Seven, a well known series in the UK that I believe dates back to WWII? If I'm wrong, please correct me!

All character animation as well as the paper and water color treatment was done in Harmony. I also did a handful of cut down versions of this where Peter plays a small "game", like a word puzzle, with the viewer, but I'm not going to post them here. This is reminding me that I need to update my reel...
