Martin Taras Reel

Below is a QT with some Taras animation from Mess Production, Rodeo Romeo, and Snow Place Like Home. Even though I'm not sure he did all the exterior scenes of the whale I have included them for continuity sake.



More on him later.

And in a moment of spontaneous self-promotion - here's a cartoon I animation directed for multi-talented creator and director Chris Reccardi as part of the stillborn Cartoonstitute shorts program at Cartoon Network.

I loved both of these. Nothing funnier than a stoned Popeye and Bluto, says I.

I hope that short wasn't intended as any kind of a series. Chris was always great with "sad endings." I like the idea of that dork being stuck with those retards for life - and that's it.

I like the arangement of Popeye clips, especially with the trippin' out Bluto.

As for the short, I liked it alot. Amazing work by you and Chris.

Great work by everyone on the short. Very funny and creative animation. The design was first rate, too.

Just noticed the change in the descriptive subtitle of the blog, although I will miss the "In service to..."
BTW, your reel ain't to shabby either.

Bluto's head turned into Huey's Mom in Quack-A-Doodle Doo.

I enjoyed the short too, nice animation. Especially when considering the stuff they're putting on CN these days. Shame they're not going through with the shorts program.

I saw this short when they first were on youtube. It's beautifully animated. Is it done with Flash?

Bob Jaques said...

Yes - it was done in Flash. Chris worked closely with the animators to try to get a more traditional 2D look to the animation.
