Shop Talk – a cautionary tale

I’m excited to share my graduate thesis project in 3D Character Animation. Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? 🙂

This animated short was inspired by the real-life adventures of my longtime friend, Mark Stern — whose stories are as heartfelt as they are hilarious. I did my best to capture a bit of his humor and humanity in this film.

If you have a few minutes and feel like watching a quirky, heartfelt animation, I’d be truly grateful.
