I worked with Aaron at thecgriff.com again on this new personal work. It went through several major changes thanks to the amazing feedback along the way.
I did all of the animation, lighting, environment models, and comp. Rigs by ProRigs.com and voiceover by @everlastingfae.bsky.social

The real difficulty is getting the ideas to stop popping into your head at 2am so you can finally sleep. 💀
Saying that AI can "help you come up with ideas" is such a tell. I've literally never known a single creative person who has said "Wow, I wish I had more ideas". Ideas are everywhere. There is not an ideas shortage and never will be. Claiming that's the bottleneck tells me you have zero imagination.

A week off work is a great time to start something new, so I got some environment modeling done for a new animation. In this house it’s always spooky season. Stay tuned. 👀

There's something I need people to understand.
The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.
The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

My favorite part of working on a show is that there’s a deadline and at some point a director and/or producer will take the shot away from you and save you from the infinite obsessive noodling you would otherwise be doing for all eternity.

The stages of my animation process:
I love this idea I can’t wait to work on it
I am a fraud
I should’ve gone to law school
Nevermind this looks ok
Noodling and re-rendering until I will literally wither and die if I change one more keyframe
It’s ok I guess but I’ll be better next time

New work is imminent so here’s some older work in the meantime. This is the unfortunately 100% true story about the time I knocked myself out trying to escape a flying roach. 😅

Hello, Bluesky. I’m Kelly, an animator who you may vaguely remember because of that one time I accidentally went viral on Facebook. My 15 seconds of fame is over but the art making continues. Come see my little art nonsense!
