Did you know pigeons are notoriously bad at making nests? I thought this detail fit in perfectly with this caller’s clearly frustrated voicemail 🤣. This voicemail was a lot of fun to animate — I never thought I’d get to design a ‘working mom’ pigeon outfit lol. SUPER special thanks to all the Patrons who voted on this voicemail and continued support me while making this Chirpmail! You can join in as well if you’d like to see all the behind-the-scenes videos, vote on voicemails, and keep tabs on my progress! 🐦 #animation #maya #chirpmail #blender #voicemail

It’s been a minute since I’ve shared any studio work so I thought I’d share some shots I animated on Strange World! As a frequent board game player, I definitely relate to Ethan’s frustration here lol. I remember one of the challenges with this shot was struggling to manage all the different cards and making sure they hooked up between shots (esp. because the whole point is the game is unraveling 🥲). Looking back at these shots I forgot how wacky/cartoony the poses were. And even throughout the whole movie — I feel like Strange World had a really fun animation style to it! #strangeworld #boardgames #animation #frustration #gamenight

✏️ I know it’s a simple thing, but adding an environment that your character interacts with is a great & easy way to improve the believability of your acting performance. It kind of forces you to make acting decisions that feel organic, especially when you can make the mechanics feel convincing. I created a full video on acting tips for animators, which you can check out in my bio link! #animation #maya #animationtips #acting #creatorclubpro
