Thanks to a buddy from my Turner days, I was brought on to the retakes animation team for the Adult Swim show “Smiling Friends” to help them put the finishing touches on S3. Ep01 of S3 premieres tonight at 11:30pm on Adult Swim, and a day later on HBO Max. It’s a funny, well-done show! Check it out!

One year ago today animation wrapped on Star Trek Lower Decks. It was the best of times.
I got to work on 27 total episodes (plus 1 episode of Strange New Worlds) of this fantastic, funny and heart-warming series.

Here's the big sequence I animated for Star Trek Lower Decks season 5 episode "Dos Cerritos" which includes the Reverse Riker! Usually we would get all the shots of a single sequence since there's typically poses and things you can reuse along the way.

“Man, it was HARD to keep working on my scenes after we got the cancellation news. I have loved animating on this show and wish it would have lasted forever! Well, at least a few more years. Retirement looms! Thanks, Mike, Tawny, Jack and everyone else from this Lower Decker!

I thought it would be fun to go back and look at all of my Lower Decks shots and pick out some that had interesting or fun expressions.

One of my favorite Lower Decks shots that I animated was in season 5 episode 2 "Shades of Green". Mariner throws an object in order to distract the security robots. I got to do some great, unique poses, fun secondary with her hair, and a smear!

I got to animate a few cool moments on Lower Decks. This is probably my favorite. I got to do Alt Boimler's "Reverse Riker Maneuver" in Season 5 Episode 1 "Dos Cerritos" and then Prime Boimler immediately says "Damn, he's good!" Lol! Thanks, Brad!

Lower Decks Season 5 Ep 9 "Fissure Quest". I animated 3 shots on this one. I basically was not scheduled to work on this episode, but I really wanted to be a part of it. So I let slip that I would love to be assigned a shot and I would fit it in with my regular assignments. They gave me 3!

5 years ago! 12/16/2019. A most magical event and trip happened. The Hollywood premiere of "The Rise of Skywalker". This was the culmination of my whirlwind California trip which included San Francisco for Lucasfilm and The Walt Disney Family Museum and Disneyland/Batuu West. Memories of a lifetime!
