I'm back, sort of...

Sorry for the lack of posts here lately. I've decided to migrate over to Tumblr and try to post a little more often... I hope you'll join me.

Stop Mo JCPenny Ads

Check out these three stop motion JCPenny commercials I recently animated. It was a fun project -- I've never animated full scale props or live humans before. They were produced by Buck and animated at fabulous Starburns Industries.
