Tech Central's Guide to the Color Code Alert System (2016).

 I know it has been a long time since I used this blog, but don't worry it is back up again.  And now, I present to you a short film I made back in 2016.  As you can see, it all started back when I was working at Technology Central, or Tech Central for short, was having  trouble and it was starting become chaotic like The Muppet Show back stage.  With chaos, it can be controlled by order.  I was inspired by Kermit the Frog on the short lived ABC series, The Muppets where they had their color code alert system.  This was in the episode, "Hostile Makeover".  He said, and I quote: 

We've created a color code alert system to track Piggy's moods. Green, she's calm, but we've never been at green. Yellow, she's in tears. Orange, *I'm* in tears. And with a code red, if she locks eyes with you, it's already too late!  

Inspired by that clever amphibian, I got inspired.  However, before doing this I always seek consultation from my boss about making it.  I pitched it to her verbally because I didn't have time to make a pitch-reel.  She, my boss, Kimberly O'Toole, approved it.  After doing some research and consultation from boss, off I went to work on it.  During production, I got the gist from watching all those old educational safety films from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.  

I know that all along that this was going to be animated.  After all, it has been two years since I graduated back in 2014.  I didn't want these animation skills go down to waste.

I have been seeing these things via On-Demand TV back in mid 2000's on Something Weird On Demand. (It lasted until 2008.)  Those UPA-style drawing were eye-catching for time.  As eye-catching as those Cartoon Network shows of the late 1990s and early 2000s such as Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls (the original not that jokey 2016 reboot), Courage the Cowardly Dog, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, Codename: Kids Next Door, and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.  Inspired, I decided to take that style, aesthetics of the 1950s educational films, guidances from my boss, and keep that cartoon educational, while at the same time, be funny.  .  When it was completed, I presented it to the employees and superiors at work and the result was so wonderful, that they wanted and encore viewing.  So I did.  I hope you enjoy it.  

Hey Charlie Brown (2015)

As you know, I love the Peanuts comics and cartoons.  I saw all four Peanuts movies: A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969), Snoopy Come Home! (1972), Race for Your Life Charlie Brown (1977), and Bon Voyage Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!) (1980).  When I first heard about The Peanuts Movie being announced, I was worried.  When the trailer came, I got excited.  This made me want to watch the movie.  After seeing The Peanuts Movie, I decided to make a break-in recording to show my love for it.  

So here it is, from 2015, inspired by The Peanuts Movie, a break-in recording, Hey Charlie Brown. 

Enjoy.

THE LAUGHTER MAN (2009).

Here is a short film I worked on called THE LAUGHTER MAN (2009). This made at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt). I not only edited it but acted in it as well. It is about laughter being the best medicine. Say, in today's troublesome times, we can sure use a sense of humor every once in a while.

 Travel back to 2007 for another student short I made at Bunker Hill Community College. It is called THE GREAT ART ROBBERY (2007). The assignment for this one was to tell a story with voyeurism. Voyeur means witness, but shortly, it means something pervy. It should have been called witness.

 Here is an outtake or deleted scene from HOW KING KONG MET GODZILLA (2007).

It is interesting, but it was deleted for time constraints.

Also, this is the first project where I used some Ken Burns effects.
