My first professional animation was in 1979 when I animated two Grossman's commercials for WBZ-TV.

The following animations on the animation page require Apple's QuickTime plug-in in your browser's plug-in folder.

There are three buttons located at the bottom of the animation page. They are, from left to right: a cel animation for Corning Costar, produced by Larry Miller Productions in Boston. The presentation contained different animations and cartoons of anthropomorphic human cells in action. The example here shows the cell factory that can be found in every cell, hard at work accompanied by a music soundtrack by Nicholas Cudahy of Combustible Edison, and is 640 x 480. I think this is a good example of combining traditional and computer techniques in an effort to come up with an affordable solution that also meets a tight deadline. The back wall of the "factory" is a pork chop that I scanned in and altered to give an organic look. Download time: 43 seconds at 28.8kbps.

The middle button is a segment from a 1992 project for DC Comics that never got off the ground. The idea here was to demonstrate a product containing DC's characters intended for Atari's handheld game unit the Lynx. This would mean creating animation with motion and colors as they appear on the Lynx. This animation is condensed for the web.. Note that this small segment contains CAD and regular cel animation for that 16 color, Lynx video game feel. This piece of animation was created on an Atari ST in 1991 before the sophisticated animation programs found on desktop computers today. Download time: 5 minutes 9 seconds at 28.8kbps.

The third button is a CAD animation of Batman landing and then leaping off a roof. I created Batman and the roof of the Gotham City Hall in CAD and then edited in a QuickTime editing program. Download time: 1 minutes 29 seconds at 28.8kbps.
