What do you do last weekend?!

So After every weekend you know you get the typical question, "So what did you do this weekend?" Well for those of you who want to know, this is what I did. A stop-motion animation with my friend Vanessa.

She wanted to do something funky for her Masquerade birthday party, so we came up with an idea of Vanessa trying to get her mask on her face and go to the party, but scared the mask runs away. It is cute and funny at the same time.

The Sci-fi Short!!!

It's been a while since I did a short story, but when friend, director Craig Singer, told me that the both of us needed to collaborate on a project. I wanted to jump right in! Soon friend and writer Jordan Barel jumped in as the three of us wanted to make something really different and crazy.

The cool thing about Craig is he has been in the biz for some time. Making movies with titles such as, "Perkins' 14" and "Dark Ride" for Lionsgate. I met Jordan through Craig originally to help me finish a script. Our schedules got busy and both of us couldn't do it, however we are both thrilled to be doing something together this time. The cool thing about Jordan is he isn't that much older then me and has won awards for his scripts. He also with his brother makes comics and a few have been distributed. This year he was at the New York Comic Conn with one of them.

The cool thing is Craig decided to jump on a genre that I had never done. Science Fiction! A post apocalyptic world mixed with time travel. Can't lay out too much of the details, but this one should be interesting. When we started talking about the visuals, "THX 1138" was brought up. Which if any of you don't know was George Lucas' first movie in the early 70s.

We wanted to make a Black & White type of future and the insanity of man's own creation. Will keep every one updated, but really excited about this one!

Looking Back

So I was bored the other day and like the "now" generation does, I went on to YouTube.com. I was flicking through videos when I found a channel that was made to remember my high school years. On the channel were videos I use to make with my friends in our last year of school.

I wasn't the cool art kid back then...More like the film nerd. If you had a question about a movie, I probably knew the answer! My last year of school, me and a friend Tyler Haughey ran the high school TV show which would air during study hall. I took it as a job, cause I wanted it to be the best year of Ocean Township High School's TV programming. And I think me and my class can agree it was.

Many years have past, we've all moved on,  and now dreading New Jersey and having been living in NYC for the past five years it's funny to look back upon my old film work and see how crazy the stuff we did really was.

Check out this piece we did with my old friend Shane, click HERE to view. It's a rip off of "Terry Tate-office linebacker" but it's still hilarious!!!

Making Another Puppet

So If you don't know, stop-motion is how I started making movies. Had no actors when I got my first camera...so I made clay-mation characters. After I made a few animations, I then started to get real actors in my movies, but still did stop-motion. My last full stop-motion short I did was just with my brother Quincy for his music video "Sunshine." We made it this past summer.

But my last puppet animation was my short called, "Mustache" I did a year and a half ago. A YEAR AND A HALF AGO! Way too long! Click HERE to view the short.

Realizing I am over due for a new one, I started making new characters. I don't have a story yet, but I want to make something very fantasy and surreal! Here below are my two heads of my new characters.

I am making one guy tall and the other short. Maybe that can be a kid and a wise man. I don't know. I would love to hear other thoughts on what I should do! Let me know!! Always open to ideas!!
