The idea for this quick 30 minute animation came from the same source as 'Illusions' .... the fact that one Artoonix user is creating his own 'invisible friends' on his own mock forum and then pretending to swap messages with them. I just imagined what it might be like to get the computer to...

The idea for this movie came from a REALLY unusual place (literally) --- A few weeks ago I landed on a particularly ridiculous website. Its meant to look like an alternative, independent Artoonix forum. However, the forum administrator is inventing members and then swapping messages with himself....

Just a simple animation made to test the upload procedure I outlined in the Artoonix forum in response to a query. As the watermark shows, this quickly-done little movie was rendered with the DivX codec. It uploaded into the Artoonix gallery as well - so the procedure works as described. That's...

Tags: Artoonix Creatoon pivots

This is mostly a brief demo/tutorial to help anyone who is trying to use Creatoon. I use it to get over the fact that in Artoonix (my favourite animation program), you can't lock pivots to different objects. Thus I create characters in Creatoon which need lockable pivots, and then import them...

There are lots of great train songs in the American song book but you'd have to agree that "The City of New Orleans" is on the top ten list, especially for the baby boomer generation. The lyrics are a passenger's (or train's) narrative of the images observed while traveling on the train known as...

This is my improvisation over a minor blues in B. I tried to play very little leaving lots of space. Trying to create a theme as i went along. I was also trying to think of the chord tones. I threw a few fast lines in just to keep me on my toes. I recorded this in Apple Logic Pro using my...
