Stills from New Animations Part 1 - FM Static

Above are some stills from the FM Static video I've been working on with director Van Blumreich. I did all the hand drawing and water coloring was done by Tim Dorsey.

Sketches from new FM Static video

I'm working on doing some animation for some upcoming videos for the band FM Static (Tooth and Nail). These are some early sketches I did of the main character/notebook sketches that follow the art direction of the CD packaging.I will be working on the video with director Van Blumreich, who I did videos for Copeland and The Presidents of the United States of America with. More to come soon!

Links to Copeland and Presidents of the United States of America videos

Hello everyone,
I'm posting links to Quicktime versions of two videos I recently worked on with some super talented individuals.
Both videos were directed by Van Blumreich with animation by Mark Armes and myself.

Copeland - Should You Return (Dir: Van Blumreich, Animation: Mark Armes, Shelby Hohl)

Presidents of the United States of America - Rot in the Sun (Dir: Van Blumreich, Animation/ Art Direction: Shelby Hohl)

Good Morning

So last night I went to a film premiere for my buddy Van Blumreich at Dean's. Pretty rad turn out. He played two music videos I had the honor of working on but unfortunately, I showed up kinda late so I only got to see one of them. We had a chance to make music videos for Copeland and the Presidents of the United States of America (i know right?!). The videos were fun to work on but required some very tedious time hand-cutting little objects out of polystyrene. For the Copeland video, Mark Armes and I produced Stop-Motion Animation for the last, Id say 3rd, of the video. I built all the props/puppets and did Live Action Animation on the Presidents of the United States video. Both will have pics and links up soon.
