I can't imagine having this walk in to one of my college classes and teach when I was in school. I hope his university had showers.

Now that Disney owns the Indiana franchise proper, I wonder if J.J. will take a shot at rebooting Dr. Jones? Something must be done to fix the "Crystal Skull" fiasco, and this time absolutely NO REFRIDGERATORS ALLOWED.

Saul Bass just celebrated a birthday (he would have been 93) a few days ago, and Google did an amazing job of paying homage with a video they streamed through their search page here. To pay homage to amazing past designers like him, and amazing current designers like Olly Moss, I decided to play graphic designer and create my own trilogy of alternate Star Wars posters. May as little of the force as possible while still clearly communicating the core message be with you...

Wreck it Ralph Kinetic Type Animation from Deanna Sheehan on Vimeo.

This animation is one of my favorite scenes in Disney's Wreck-it-Ralph. I wanted to really capture the video game aspect of the movie as well as the cuteness of Vanellope Von Schweetz by using "moving type" with simple graphics. I tried to express the sarcasm of the characters visually (and it still makes me smile whenever she mocks him).

Narration: John C. Reilly/Sarah Silverman
Movie directed by: Rich Moore

Here's what happens when I watch "Wreck-It-Ralph" too many times. This animation is a "sequel" to another animation I made as an AE tutorial a while back. "Improvements" to the animation include a malfunctioning CRT-style Vertical Hold, a better hat for Shawnio and absolutely no accents from yours truly.

See the original Shawnio here.

This animation is another homage to one of my favorite Tim Burton films - Beetlejuice. I wanted to emphasize the parts of Michael Keaton's speech visually as more unstable as he got louder and more aggressive. This scene is definitely one of the best sarcastic speeches I've ever seen Michael Keaton give.

Also check out my speed painting of Betelgeuse here.

I just don't know when to quit. Here's yet another post dedicated to that wonderfully off-balanced pirate, Capt. Jack Sparrow. The inspiration for this yapping pirate cartoon came from the new attraction at Walt Disney World.
Now, where's the rum?

Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl.

Here's another cover for Teekay-421. This issue was centered around the Star Wars Clone Wars television series and showcased Asajj Ventress, Savage Opress and Darth Maul. Too bad LFL walked away from the show. Maybe if the characters had simpler names...

I've been working on several animations that should be wrapped up and posted here soon. In the meantime, here's a couple of "puny" sketches done for my animation class to demonstrate drawing from reference without image underlays or "lightboxing". Ah-nuld is really getting old, btw. So is Capt. Jack. Where did the time go?

Check out my other posted sketches here.
