Animator, Illustrator, Writer, Music Editor, Video Editor, and someone with too many ideas. Otherwise known as "CartoonCade".
Animation
Here you’ll find some samples of animation and storyboards I’ve done over the years. I’m not incredible at animation, but when I get time to do it, I really enjoy doing it. I’ve also improved greatly over the years, so it’s not like I’m doubting myself.
COMPLETE (OR MOSTLY COMPLETE) ANIMATION
“CartoonCade Productions – The 3-Minute Promo”
A partially-animated promo for a production company that I (partially) created for a college course. (2021)
“MSU2Nite Animated Bumper”
An animated 10-second bumper that I did for the Spring 2021 season of the Murray State University show, “MSU2Nite”. (2021)
“MSU2Nite Logo 2021”
A short animation that I did for the logo for the Spring 2021 season of the Murray State University show, “MSU2Nite”. I also created the logo seen here. (2021)
“John Zip Zooms”
An animation loop that features John Mcfars literally losing his color after engaging in a wild take. (2020)
“John Gets Spooked”
Another wild take from John, this time in the vein of Tex Avery cartoons. (2020)
“The Wiz, 2019 Animation Test”
Some animation from an early draft of a short film I’m working on. This animation will not be used and the story has changed, but it’s not bad for the time. (2019)
“Shot #32”
A shot of animation I completed for the “Ren and Stimpy Reanimated” project that might not come out. (2019-2020)
“(Everybody’s Goin’ Crazy on) Memorial Day”
An animated music video that I made a few years ago to go along with a parody song that shares the melody of “Surfin’ U.S.A.” by The Beach Boys. (2018)
“Eat Your Vegetables”
A short animated piece created as part of a class project in which we had to utilize random objects and create a plot around them. (2018)
“The Day The Evil Was Freed” (2022 Remaster)
A 4-and-a-half-minute animation originally created in 2012. This was my first major project after learning how to animate. Be warned, it’s kinda cringe-worthy. (2012)
INCOMPLETE ANIMATIONS AND STORYBOARDS
“Walk A Mile In My Shoes”
This is a portion of an idea I have for an animated music video set to “Walk A Mile In my Shoes” by Joe South. (2022)
“Give The Kid A Break”
This is a portion of an idea I have for an animated music video set to “Give The Kid A Break” by Alice Cooper. (2022)
“BBTE Vendor Call Animated Storyboard”
This was an idea for an animated promo for the 2022 WPSD Local 6 Big Boy Toy Expo. It did not get made, but I’ve uploaded some materials from this idea to the “Illustration” page above. (2022)
“I Fought the Law”
This is my idea for an animated music video set to a stereo, demo version of The Bobby Fuller Four’s “I Fought The Law”. (2020)
“The Little Ships”
This is my idea for an animated music video set to an edited version of Jean Jacques-Perrey’s “The Little Ships”. Each of the 6 different sections of the song represent a different cast member. (2020)
“Late for Class”
A storyboard that I made for one of my college courses about someone late for class. The challenge was to have no or minimal dialogue. (2020)
This is all I have to share with you at the moment, but I hope you can get a sense for my style. And I hope you enjoyed at least something here!
