Cool DIY example: SURF SKOOL 3


Check out this DIY animation. It's the opening portion of SURF SKOOL 3. This is a great example of camera angles, characters, editing, and shot placement really helping to make a cool cartoon. The snazzy soundtrack really adds to it too. Check out DREWTOONZ for more! You can tell a cool story without mortgaging your house!

EPISODE ONE: THE SEVEN SWEET SCIENCES OF GHETTOMATION


EPISODE ONE: THE SEVEN SWEET SCIENCES OF GHETTOMATION
We get this party started right. We get all Swayze and keep it real (sheesh). We hope that you guys enjoy and also participate. We'd love to help inspire some future animators to dip their toes in the pool and finally just jump in. Feel free to send us question and comments to: ghettomation@gmail.com


OKEE-DOKEE the CLOWN The animatic film that Jim took to his local public access cable tv station that earned him fame and fortune. Yikes! This shows that with a little determination and naivety, you too can leave a mark on local pop culture. Many people were left speechless as this aired on their tv screens following something like "Home Gardening with Flora" or "Public City Council Meeting Hour". Shake things up!
