Hand painted animation for Ripples In the Pond Productions

Created and animated this piece for a wonderful production company called Ripples in the Pond Productions http://www.ripplesinthepondllc.com/
Animated the crane first and then painted each frame by hand.  I love the look and feel of painted animation.

Odd lil' piece . . .

Congrats to our director Steven Belfer on this great write up in "Animation Scoop"! Happy to have been a part of such a fun project with James Jacob and Martin Cendreda! Click on the link to see the finished piece:

Todd Hemker American Greetings Artist and co-founder of Yellowshed.com designed this beautiful card.  I was thrilled when asked to board and animate it.  This post is a bit late for Christmas.  But Happy Holidays anyway!
