Personal Films
I have been fortunate enough to make a number of personal films for various studios over the years. Most of them were either pilots for series or created as part of a series that showcased short cartoons.

Bloo and his dog friends sneak out of their owner’s houses at midnight to set on a pirate adventure in the city. Bloo’s Gang was the first professional cartoon I ever did. In 1996 a man named Fred Seibert began working at Hanna-Barbera where he started a new trend in animation, bringing control back to the animator. Dubbed WHAT A CARTOON, artists flocked from all corners of the world to be a part of this amazing new endeavor. Bloo was a Blue Labrador (a very rare breed).He was a boisterous loudmouth with a passion for adventure and a nose for causing trouble. Simon the sheepdog was laid back and mellow. He always went with the flow and did what Bloo asked him to. No questions asked. Simon was a nutjob. He liked pain and actually laughed when you clocked him in the head. His googly eyes made it hard for him to see so he was always walking into things. Scully was gung-ho for anything Bloo could throw at him! In this film I key-animated, storyboarded, designed, directed and even voiced Bloo and Scully/ It’s interesting to note that if you watch the pencil test you’ll see that Bloo’s voice is different. the network wanted us to go back to the original voice even after it was entirely animated and I had to ADR the whole film. In other words I had to lip-sync it all as it played live and they recorded me doing it. Sound hard? You’re not kidding! I’ll bet you can’t tell if I didn’t tell you though!

Here’s an old pilot I did at Hanna Barbera for What A Cartoon called Ignoramooses with Harold McLaughlin back in 1996. I digitized a copy of it from the original VHS tape for a class I’m giving on Developing Animated series and it seems better quality than what exists on the internet so I’m gonna put it up here… I co-wrote, animated, storyboarded, designed, and animation timed it.
