Flat Tire

So after my exposure to animation, I went back to High School and utilized some Independent study courses to delve further into this art form. So here is one of my crappy high school films called Flat Tire. I animated this flip-book style and then scanned in each frame and put them together in Adobe Premier pro (this was way before I ever learned of After Effects).

First Flip Book

In the summer of 2005 I decided to enroll in a summer class at the Kansas City Art Institute. The class was an intro to animation crash course taught by Doug Hudson, who also happened to be the head of the newly established animation program at the school. The first assignment was a flip book and I, drawing mainly on my influence by legendary animator Don Hertzfeldt, came up with this.
