The third dimension in motion

I have commitment issues. I never want to commit a line to paper. Call it a trauma from countless revisions for unhappy clients. I prefer the flexibility that comes with 3D. In 3D, I don’t make an image; I make a scene. I can photograph it as many times as the client wants.

Drawing attention

Everything in the reel is made by me in its entirety.

Making 2D animation in 3d

Bending over backward

I tend to make everything in 3D. Even the kind of animations you’d typically do in 2D.

3D gives you a lot of flexibility. In 2D, if you draw something behind something else, tough luck. It can’t be moved without redrawing it. In 3D, you can always move it in front. Because of this, you can make ten variations in the time it takes to draw two.

On this illustration, I got the feedback “Zoom in on the clock; make the frame less cluttered.” That would have been very difficult on a 2D drawing.

Following the brief

Being picky

This video was made with a very interesting brief. It is my entry for a competition. Two things in the animation were defined and locked by the publisher: The camera and the character. Both had to move in exactly the way they do.
