Opie and Anthony Animation Festival

I dropped off the face of the earth for the last few weeks (sorry) because we had to finish our second Opie & Anthony animated short. It will be premiering at the O&A Animation Festival tomorrow, June 5th at Roseland Ballroom in NYC. The show is sold out and we're all looking forward to a fun night of animation and comedy!

I'll be posting the short online after the festival... so check back soon!

This video was created using 3D Studio Max's Reactor simulator. We needed to test out our new render farm at the office, so this was the guinea pig.

my first modular function!

To share with you my nerdy(er) side, I'm starting to learn ActionScripting, and starting with AS3. I wrote my first custom modular function today and I'm super excited! Horray!

function moveShape(shapeName:MovieClip, vertMovement:Number, rotAmt:Number, alphaAmt:Number):void
{
shapeName.y -= vertMovement;
shapeName.rotation += rotAmt;
shapeName.alpha = alphaAmt;
}

moveShape(blue_mc, 120, 5, .3);
moveShape(orange_mc, -30, 12, .9);
moveShape(purple_mc, 175, 50, .5);
moveShape(yellow_mc, 30, 0, 1);


I know I still have a loooong way to go, but hey, it's a start!

Human Giant - Season 2

The hysterics of Paul, Rob and Aziz continue with season 2 of MTV's super sketch comedy show Human Giant. Adam and I were brought back on to create new animations, including the clip below. Watch the show! It rules.
