New career...?

In a little non-animation news, my modeling career has officially begun. Behold the cover art for the new Thirty Seconds to Mars album:
Disclaimer: I've never heard this band's music.

Celebrate Christmas with some clay penguins and a walrus in my garage studio.

The sets and puppets were initially made at American Greetings in Cleveland and shipped here to LA. The sound design and a lot of the post production were done at American Greetings as well. Hence, my credits list for this one is most likely incomplete, but here are the people who I know worked on it:

Director: Kevin Carr
Producers: Kevin Carr, Jenn Branch, Larry Mosca
Animator: Pete Levin
Puppet Fabricator: Theresa Muri
Puppet Doctor: John Sumner
Set Builder: Seth Larson
Prop Builders: Theresa Muri, Will Martin
Lighting: Josh Silfen, Pete Levin
Animation Assistants: Liz Pringle, Will Martin
Visual Effects Artist: Brian Kokoszka (and the American Greetings After Effects dept.)


Bonus: Here's a Flash eCard they made out of some still photos I shot of the walrus.
