I have never seen anything like THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR (Netflix) before. It’s a documentary about a racist woman who shoots her neighboor, all told through police body cam footage. It won best directing (US doc) at Sundance and it’s clear why. I highly recommend it!

AI has only been useful to me as an artist when kept on a VERY short leash. After the Pixar layoff, I joined a startup making new animation tools. We just released this video reference to anim blocking converter. I hope this helps speed along your blocking first pass! Try it out at getcartwheel.com

THE STUDIO starring Seth Rogen on AppleTV+ is my new favorite thing and I love that I cringe when I watch it in the same way my software engineer husband cringed when he watched Silicon Valley.
Too real.

I’m going to start posting about the absolute gems that I find in our biweekly family library haul.
Today’s gem is When Everybody Wore A Hat by William Steig.
I adore these illustrations. I can see it animated in a Christopher Hinton style short. No linear story, just captured moments in time.

Here's more Monsters University promo work that I did. I animated a lot of little scenes of Sully unnecessarily bullying Mike that were used for random things like Disney channel bumpers.

So unfortunately I am missing most all of my work from my third movie, Brave. I’ll source it later. I am skipping ahead to my next project, Monsters U promo. I animated a bunch of Mike and Sully shenanigans, starting with this 3D marketing spot.
