Early 2019 I pitched a Dino universe with a Dino Miles and Dino Gwen. Don’t know what happened after that, but a few years later when I was back on the film I got to animate the Dino Peter burst cards. Fun stuff.

Another early vis dev painting from
#AcrossTheSpiderVerse
. We were trying to figure out what daytime should feel like in the city. Also continuing the idea from that last painting of bringing more warms into manhattan.

So many characters in this film require virtually every department to collaborate and contribute to their creation, The Spot was definitely one of them! Modeling, rigging, animation, fx, lookdev, look-of-picture…

Have you watched My Dad the Bounty Hunter yet? If not, get to it, you won’t regret it. Here’s one of the first paintings I did for it.
#MyDadtheBountyHunter
This weekend, ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ and ‘Elemental’ debunked a great Hollywood misconception. As the audience for animation grows larger than ever, it's time that studios acknowledge that multiple animated films can succeed in theaters simultaneously.
Season 2 of My Dad the Bounty Hunter drops today. In an endless sea of IP this original story will not disappoint, I promise. Give it a watch to remind the world that original stories still matter.

No matter what dimension you’re in, I’ll be there making movies. Go check out Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which was made by some of my wildly talented friends who I’m jealous of.

It’s based off the shot from the film. Imageworks renders off a higher resolution version and then we typically repaint things to higher degree of detail using the render as a base.

Yesterday we wrapped animation at ILM Vancouver and lighting and comp at ILM Singapore. To say I am grateful is an understatement. You helped make my dream come true. You actually exceeded my dreams. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

Mentorship slots sold out in under 2 min. I decided to open a second session on Thursday nights for the ones that didn’t make it into the first group. Emails going out soon to those that were fast enough to make it.
Sweet Migs looks like I'll have to acquire the Japanese version of

as well when it hits blu-ray because the voice-over is just rockin'

Now that the art book for
#AcrossTheSpiderVerse
is out, I wanted use the art featured in the book to talk a little about how we incorporate the visdev artists' beautiful color keys with our lighting workflow. A short thread ! (1/9)-
It’s pumpkin spice latte time, which can only mean one thing… more mentorship action. Enrollment opens on Sept. 25th at 10am (PDT). Make sure you’re quick the last one sold out in like 3 minutes. Set an alarm!

As a bunch of big summer movies come and take up screens, it will be harder to find places and times to see ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE at your local cinema. So if you haven’t seen it yet, trust me this is an experience you want to have on a big screen, so go before it’s too late!
This thread is for people who are curious about some film basics.
This is a low, Dutch angle two-shot.
That probably doesn’t mean much.
But, here’s why this image feels like it does.

This was maybe 1.5-2 weeks of work. I’m totally still intimidated by cityscapes, the trick is in your mise en place. Prepare for the painting by having a bunch of building flats and graphics ready to go. The rest is just an exercise in perspective and warping planes.
Listen to me nerd out with the host about spider-man, spider-verse, design, and all related things on the Amazing Spider-Talk podcast.

HEY I don't know who started this rumor but My Dad the Bounty Hunter has not been cancelled! It's just that we're still working on it and it looks BEAUTIFUL but it takes a lot of time and effort to bring this thing to life. You all better watch it when it comes out! 🚀

I call on other men in my industry who are in positions of leadership to denounce this decision and support and advocate for the safety of women & marginalized groups in our industry. I am sick of this.

The shader imageworks works a little different than the way I painted it. That one probably sets the size of the hatches and dots based one distance from camera so the hatches and dots were a little big, so I made smaller ones and nuanced a lot to make it painterly
I had to log in to my coffee mug this morning to keep my coffee warm, while I tele-commuted to a company-wide meeting in my pajamas. This is definitely the world of tomorrow our ancestors imagined.
