massive hammer

Refrigerators

clip from brian regan's special "i walked on the moon"

bael

its like the word "ball" but it's "bael" because it's made in after effects and the "ae" stands for "after effects". wowee.

wow this rock is heavy

Obsessed With 3s

so back in october when the mlb playoffs were going on, pitcher justin verlander had a commercial running constantly about how he was obsessed with the number 3, in reference to 3 strikes. since the red sox were facing the astros (justin's team), i thought it would be perfect to practice my civil duty as a red sox fan and rotoscope a home run hit off of him. it ended up scoring 3 runs. life imitates art.

holy wow it’s a video. I focused on the animation principle of “timing” because believe it or not, i didn’t actually solve that cube in 2 seconds flat. i had other ideas also involving rubik’s cubes but the end result turned out to be about 5% stop motion. not the best percentage when you’re making a stop motion video.

Bouncing Ball

a little intro piece. had to film this on my phone in my dorm because apparently the time i reserve to be in the stop motion room is the same time that people stop lending keys out to people to go into said room. how does that even work? anyway, sorry if the lighting is a bit inconsistent between shots, that’s the product of my phone in a desperate balancing act thanks to my windowsill and a popcorn box, as shown here.

cool stuff. i’ve probably learned less about animation and more about not renting anything past 3 on a sunday, even though it allows stuff to be rented past 3.

aloha

i'm brian jacobus. primarily i'm a musician and pitcher, but i'm doing animation work now. hoping to learn how to use some neat programs to make some neat things, so i can potentially make money with said neat things. emotional fulfillment is cool too but so is money. ok thanks bye
