Animated
A man on the hill winds a key taller than the houses, and the moon comes up on schedule.
2 works, each at its moment
Mr. Googly Eyes
The hare panics
Performance, not just motion - the face does the beat.
Meadow, morning
The establishing shot of a world that has to stay put.
The whole cast, at the end
A dozen animals in one frame, each still himself.
The receipt
Every appearance of one character in the film, laid out. Nobody's face slips between shots.
What it was for
The same two leads, underwater, three worlds from where they started.
The lamplighter
Character design carrying a scene with no dialogue in it.
A character turnaround
Delivered to a client as the reference sheet for everything drawn after it.
The same character, in book form
Picture-book spread, delivered flat and print-ready.
Four hands, folding
Hands are where this fails first. These articulate correctly.
The fleet
A hundred small lights on water, all behaving like one thing.
The finished lyric film
Word after word, timed to the voice singing it.
Bahamas
Same two leads, same paper, a different island.
Rio and St Lucia
A crowd, painted, that still reads as individual people.
Haiti
Fourteen islands in one style, held end to end.
A hand enters the set
The tell that sells the whole register: scale, declared on purpose.
What she could carry
Knitted wool, felt, and light that behaves like a lamp.
The village
A built miniature with a working depth of field.
Carried
A crowd of sculpted figures, each one a separate object.
Claymation interior
Sculpted figure, louvered shutters, a sea outside. Clay, not skin - and it is meant to look it.
The same street, a new character
The reference video carries the location; the design carries who is walking through it.
