CULT OF SUCCESS - SCAD 2D Character Animation II Short

Success  is a collaborative film made by a 2d Character Animation II class and directed by Gabriella Leonard. My participation lasted throughout the pipeline and I worked on several different aspects of the film. I contributed visual development, character design, traditional animation, clean-up animation, puppet animation, and compositing. It’s pretty eerie and forbodeing but I still feel it’s one of the more fun and unique projects I helped out with. And remember, if you find yourself in a productivity cult,,,, find a way out that isn’t into the eldritch pit of failure. I believe in you.

From the Thrilling Adventure Hour Beyond Belief episode #219 "It's a Bad Bad Bad Bad Bad Bad Bad World" by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker. The goal was to create an Animatic for a scene from an audio clip, and I couldn’t resist working with the radio drama style in TAH. Starring Paul F. Tompkins and Paget Brewster as those married mediums Frank and Sadie Doyle. Hal Lublin as the Spooky narrator and Craig Cackowski as a frog.
Man…. I still have so much nostalgia for this show.

An animation and lipsync test to one of the iconic lines from a favorite podcast of mine: Welcome to Night Vale. The character is Ogo from Chris Sander's comic Kiskaloo. This was a good exercise in pose-to-pose animation, working with a strict character model, and incorporating subtext.
