2018 Animation Reel - Part 1: Anomalisa

I had this weird idea to add commentary to my animation reel and it turned into a 15-minute video essay on my animation process, stop-motion techniques, and first career steps. This is Part 1 of 3, covering my time “treading water“ in New York, my move to LA, and my first gig as a professional animator on the Charlie Kaufman film ANOMALISA. Part 2: Cartoony Stuff Part 3: Tumble Leaf
