RADIOHEAD music video contest

I'm sure anybody into either animation or Radiohead has heard about this contest by now (check aniboom.com if you don't know what i'm talking about). Normally i don't like these kind of contests but with this one its a sweet deal because winners are voted through in stages. Meaning, i don't have to spend endless nights rendering out a final video that might not even make the cut...instead i create a ruff animatic to give an overall feel for what i'm going for and from there people decide what vid they'd like to see complete, and there are nice prizes involved : )

Anywho, I love the album and couldn't resist. Here's my board pass.

"Bigguns" animation is finished...

YeeHaw! It's official! "Big-guns" animation is complete! All that's left now is compositing fixes, SFX, and I'm gonna try to score the film with my band. If you're wondering when it'll be viewable, it's going to premiere online as soon as the Katzenjammer Studio (http://katzenjammerstudios.blogspot.com/) website launches (which is nearing). Keep them eyes peeled ya'll!

until then, here are some poses and parts i used for the project. Hopefully i'll be able to post some animation clips soon.

Screech!

Man, prismacolors are so fun..but I get freaked out at how dark they look before they dry. It takes "artistic balls" to take a prismacolor marker to a good sketch...
Check out the accidental likeness to "Screech"!!!

Waldo the Wizard

In addition to my short film, "Bigguns", I've also been toying around with some wizard gag/concept stuff...and none of that Harry Potter crap (i'm a prejudging a-hole...i haven't seen or read any of em :)
Here's one from a bunch that I decided to splash with some color.
