2d animation Reel

I’ve worked on a number of 2D animated shorts, all hand-drawn in Toon Boom Harmony, TV Paint, Adobe Animate, and Blender, as well as on paper. I’ve painted backgrounds on paper with gouache and digitally in Photoshop.

SHORTS

Challah on the Run. During Shabbos dinner in a remote shtetl, a loaf of challah magically comes to life just as a family is about to eat him!

As far as I know, this is the second narrative animated film ever produced in Yiddish, and possibly the first one in color. It’s certainly one of very few such films. It stars Allen Lewis Rickman (Boardwalk Empire, A Serious Man) and Yelena Shmulenson (Orange is the New Black, A Serious Man).

Animated in Blender, Backrounds in Photoshop, Composited in After Effects, and Edited in Premiere all by me. Music by the wonderful Niko Hasapopoulos and sound design by the amazing Austin Biss.

The Execution of Archibald Perfidio. A silly little short animated in blender. The backgrounds were hand painted with gouache.

TrueAnon Animated: Coindexter Rises. A clip from the Podcast TrueAnon that I put to animation. Animated in blender. Backgrounds in Photoshop and After Effects.

Hell on the Edge of Space. Originally created as part of a live show and then modified for a web release, this follows the mysterious characters of Dr. Eyeball and Sister Bal3zar who discover a biblical secret in the far corner of a distant galaxy.
