This is my most current Demo Reel- updated April 2009
I am a director/artist/animator in the los angeles area

The work includes snippets from Awaven, Elephants and Acrobats, Siberian Farmland Music Video, the intro to Emily's Closet, and a small bit of Bloodfeathers.

The animation is a combination of stop motion and paper cut out animation from hand drawn watercolor and ink paper dolls. All the work is directed, created, and animated by me.




biggest inspirations include: The Brothers Quay, Svankmajer, Disney Fantasia, Jiri Trnka, Russian animation, puppet animation, Tim Burton, Henry Selick, Sylvain Chomet, Spirited Away, Miyazaki

  • Great job!

    I like the song too- who is the interpret? :)

  • Thanks! Not sure I know what you mean by "interpret" as a noun, but Andrew Bird is the singer, and the Reel was created and edited by me :)

  • great as always!

    Do you live from this? Or is it just your hobby? I guess you could find a job as an animator in films of tim burton? Wouldn't that be great? :D

  • Thank you! Well, I just graduated less than a year ago, so most of this is stuff I did while in school... the stop motion project "Siberian Farmland" was a paid job for a band, and was my first paid freelance job. I am just now attempting to get hired at a studio...so we will see If I can live from it :) Tim Burton would be great- but he mostly works in the UK now.

  • Vanessa, your 2D stuff is gorgeous. When you're finished with school, please let us know!

    Your choice of music is right on, too.

  • Very good job, just a couple of observations, I'm sure this has to do with stying and all but the initial leaf and the heart need to have some Z axis rotation too cause it feels a little off. Other than that kudos, nice job.

  • There is something absolutely fantastic about your work. I love it.

  • Great work!

  • Great Job! Your work is beautiful :D

  • interesting characters you got there mate. i love your motion dynamics and formulas used for movement. great job!

  • very nice

  • m_) I love your characters.

    m_) Not sure about whether you are on your way to fortune and fame, like castle said,

    m_) though you certainly were well on your way to make Art and not money, which is WAY better and meaningful.

  • I really enjoyed it, the moodiness of the color scheme works really well!
