"Hop"

Here's the first film I've been working on at Rhythm & Hues... It's creatively titled "Hop" and as I'm sure you can see by the image of the cute, very appealing characters and by the title, it's about the Easter Bunny :) The film has a lot of great qualities to it, BUT I can't give any of those away - you'll just have to see the film. What I can tell you is that it stars Russell Brand as E.B. the teenage son of the Easter Bunny who flees to Hollywood in pursuit of his dream of becoming a drummer in a band. It is produced by Illumination - the people who brought us "Despicable Me" and directed by Tim Hill. It opens April 1st and will be a great film to take the kids to around the Easter Holiday... as well as all you Russell Brand fans (myself included), you'll enjoy seeing the VERY funny British Comedian on the big screen as a full CG bunny rabbit :) It truly is a fun film and I highly recommend it to all who enjoy a good laugh AND chocolate !!!!!

Rhythm & Hues: My New Home

I know it's been a while since my last post, BUT for good reason... I have a new job, a new home, and have been in production, working like a "crazy" person!! It's been hectic, but good fun all the same. I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Rhythm and Hues for giving me an opportunity and a chance to contribute to all their wonderful films!! I also want to thank them for providing a work environment that is engineered to letting me grow as an animator and an artist!! So far, EVERYONE has been so nice, from the upper management and supervisors, to all the artist and production staff that inhabit the studio. Modest and humble attitudes go along way for any person to feel accepted and confident in their abilities. When you have those characteristics in your leader or in this case, your CEO, I truly believe that it resonates throughout the studio to all your staff and we all benefit from it as professionals. Thank You John Hughes for setting the example and creating such a magical studio... A studio I am proud to be apart of!!!
