Another FBI agent

The making of “Back To Neverland.”

“Back To Neverland” is a 9-minute film that explains the process of Disney animation. Directed by Jerry Rees, the film, which mixed live-action and animation. and also featured Walter Cronkite, played for many years in Disney World, Florida as part of the MGM Disney studio tour.

The animators got to meet Robin Williams when he visited the studio. He was great fun, and very gracious. (I’m the tall guy.)

Robin becomes an animated character in the film. This is a card the animators signed for Jerry.

Cat In The Hat animation

I did this animation for a Cat In The Hat animated feature to give the animators an example of the desired style of animation- loose, shapes stretched, joints shown when needed and gone when the movement calls for it. A combination of Disney-style character acting with a mix of Looney Tunes timing and Dr. Seuss zaniness.

There is no audio- I was given lots of freedom on the content. The main direction I got was using lots of rubber hose animation and the cat producing almost anything imaginable from his hat.

It was great fun to do!

A fun new murder mystery!

A gruesome murder in an exclusive neighborhood sets off a chain of events as the residents turn against each other, forming alliances and maneuvering like paranoid foreign agents. It’s Desparate Housewives with higher stakes and great insight into human misbehavior.

A great read, this funny, satirical novel was written by a friend of mine, by day an attorney who helps veterans working with the federal government.
