We had a wonderful time at the Chattanooga Public Library's Maker's Day event this past weekend. I'm so grateful that the library let us set up a table and do our thing. We set the table up so people walking by could animate! Folks were animating cars, pumpkins, pawns and even small pink flamingos.
It was a blast! We had over 30 different takes!
All ages too with the youngest being around 5 I'd guess?
There were so many people and so many different mediums of work. The sense of community was really nice. So many creative people all in a single place that nurtures creativity and learning... ❤️💚❤️
I had a triggered moment (or maybe I should say glimmered) where I thought back about the time I spent in the library as a child in school. It was a refuge. Bullies didn't hang out in the library. CS Lewis and Lewis Carroll did.
I concatenated some of the animations from the event into a single video. That's what you see here. Check it out!!!
The face people make when they click play and see what they've just been animating come to life is priceless and electrifying. It's an expression of wonder and joy.
What a wonderful day.
Support your library!!!! 📚

Last month I was very lucky to have some of my work shown at the opening of the Immersion Gallery
[ https://www.facebook.com/ImmersionGallery ] . This is what was shown!
I wasn't quite sure what to show but decided on keeping a theme so I went with "shapes". I combined the three variations I have made into a single cohesive short film. Thank you to Eddie Bridges and Christopher Nash for their help on this. Also thank you to Immersion Gallery for showing my stuff. Thank you Kevin Bate!! What an absolute honor. We ran it through a super sweet projector with a killer sound system including subwoofer. It was wild seeing and hearing it that big.
I got fancy and added end and opening credits, plus little segue scenes between the variations. Dig it!!!

Shame on Walter!
Walter ventriloquist puppet by @snagglemouth
Set posters by @itsariotart
Armature for the bigger puppet "Malachi" by @armaturepuppet.
First time using a new rigging tool from Kinetic Armatures. This new Kinetic Arm is extremely versatile!!!
Some of the voices you hear at the beginning amongst the crowd are @eric_halloween_nelson, @kvlodek and my step kid Jonny. It's fun to invite friends to be a part of these things!
Additional ambient sounds from freesound.org. Thanks to bogenseeberg, dreamstobecome, racche, sandermotions and norris123.
If you're wondering, Walter is singing: "Cause any time's a fine time for makin' whoopee"
Scandalous!!!

Hi everyone!
I made a title screen (I guess that's what you call it? I don't know...) to put before my animations in a festival environment. I noticed at the Nooga Underground Festival that all the other films had some form of title screen that might mention the production company (as well as the title of what I was about to watch!).
What a thought!
My stuff "just starts".
Some form of introduction makes sense.
So I made one. Super simple. Check it out!
Basically I cut the SKW logo out of cardboard. I set a small light behind the cardboard so the image would pop/illuminate through. I then changed the color of the light, snapped a picture, changed the color of the light, snapped a picture, changed the color of the light....etc.
Then ran all of it together at 12 frames per second. The result is what you see here!
Thanks for watching!!!

I'm calling this one Frog Boi. 🐸
was a quicker animation. Took about 3 or 4 weeks total. Maybe not that long?
The frog is built out of armature wire, hot glue, clay, JB Weld and aluminum foil.
I was able to hook the rig directly into his back for the jumping bits.
The eyes are marbles I painted red.
The jingle is based off a song from a band I was in back in the olden days.
The sign itself is armature wire and clay I baked in the oven then painted. I hot glued a wire to the top of it so the needle nose grips could grab it and lift it. Used this for the illusion of frog boi picking it up and flipping it then dropping it.
The words on the sign come from a Mr Rogers song. I was watching a documentary on him and he started singing this lovely song he wrote. The words were "I like you as you are, exactly and precisely."
I thought it was a beautiful sentiment and that's when I got the frog idea.
Thanks so much for watching!!!

Thank you to OneBridges for the incredible interlocking M.C.Escher-based reptiles [and dodecahedron] contribution. 🦎 Also thanks to Christopher Nash for lending your skill set and time to this project, if only for a fraction of a second. I count myself very lucky to get to collaborate with such gifted minds. Check out both of their amazing art!!!!
