Mary Brown's Birthday Mug

Today our best bud, and Powerhouse co-worker, Mary Brown turns 32!  To celebrate this super awesome day Bridgette and I got Mary a gift that combines her three favorite things; coffee, zombies, and us!  It seemed to be a success as she began to use it for her caffeinated beverage right away.

The mug in all its glory.

So this is the image I drew for the mug.  I left for New York so Bridgette added a little more blood and then sent it on to be printed in time for Mary's special day.

Original image before B added some extra blood.

TEDEd- Why does ice float in water?

Powerhouse Animation teamed up with TedEd to bring to life three awesome and educational concepts. In this third piece my role was post production as well as sound effect and animation edits. My favorite section was the representation of the complexities of the molecular structure of ice (2:32), which I accomplished by using a camera in After Effect to fly through multiple swf layers of bonded hydrogen atoms.  The word transitions were simple but fun, done with an AE script we frequently use here at Powerhouse Animation.  Overall it was a very fulfilling project.  All of us here at the studio enjoyed working on these TedEd pieces. Mmmmm, Ice tea!

TEDEd- Four ways to understand the Earth's age

I had the pleasure of doing the After Effects work on this piece.  I also animated the scene where the female scientist files her nails.  Mmmm, look at that fancy TV!

TED ED - Higgs Field, explained

I love Ted Talks!  I find them utterly fascinating.  Getting the chance to animate and do post production on three segments for the new project TedEd has been very exciting.  In this piece our team explains the Higgs Boson and Higgs field.  I animated two characters in the crowd scenes, including the dude straightening his tiny tie, and some circles and rope!  I was also the vfx artist on this piece, working in After Effects to create fireworks, Nobel prize fairy dust, and a few transitions here and there.  Enjoy!

I would give it to you both, over and over again.  I would die for each of you... I will always wonder what could have been.  I will always regret.
