This was an entry to a FlipaClip animation android application contest. It was animated at 12 frames per second in a hand drawn frame by frame animation technique. Frame by frame means that for every movement a character makes, a separate drawing is needed. This is my preferred method of animating because I feel it's more labor intensive and really helps me develop my drawing skills. I mean after the first second of... lets say 24 drawing of one character, you're sure to be able to draw that character with your eyes closed.  Although frame by frame animating is my favorite style to work in, I do enjoy the process of animating in other ways like stop motion, digital 2D puppet, and experimental.

An animation frame of a butterfly.

This was animated frame by frame digitally hand drawn at 12 frames per second to make for smooth almost slowmotion effect from the butterfly, moth, and tongue strike of the hungry chameleon. I used the slow motion effect to accentuate the movements these amazing insects utilize to gracefully become air born. I also carefully observed and used as reference several slowmotion videos from you tube, ya know, to give it a natural insect flight.

This was animated for the FlipaClip music video animation Android app. contest with music from the band "Tell Her I Love Her". FlipaClip is a frame by frame animation application available for android and apple. I personally like to use FlipaClip because of it's ease of use and good draw engine. I feel like this app works well enough to also be a digital sketch book of sorts. I am an artist, animator, and author and have always enjoyed experimenting with different art mediums, whether it be digital or traditional. And since I've adapted to drawing digitally on tablets such as the Cintique, I found that with a hand full of good apps. like Flipaclip and a digital tablet computer it certainly helps to bring your art to life.

--> In the “Wizard of Oz” the Scarecrow didn’t have a brain. Now, Imagine if the Scarecrow was on drugs. “If I didn’t Have A Brain” (The Anti-Drug Song) is a wild take on the “Wizard of Oz” with the Scarecrows enthusiastic but unfortunate words of realization of what drugs has done to him.
