- Bio
- I've been an independent animator for the past 10 years, writing and animating my own films. My clay-animated shorts have been screened at the National Gallery Of Art in Washington D.C. and have appeared in over 50 film festivals around the world.
I've has also produced 4 short films and segments for HBO and HBO Family, an educational film for Partnership For a Drug Free America, as well as 8 environmental commercials for Vacaville and Rohnert Park.
I spent the last five years studying Illustration and Character Design at the Academy Of Art University in San Francisco, and studied art and history at the Scuola Lorenzo Di Medici in Florence, Italy. I'm also currently preparing "Hindenburg: The Musical", which I co-wrote with Rob Broadhurst, for the stage. Since June '07 I have been Animation Producer for Tertiary Animation in West Palm Beach, FL. My main project over the past few months has been developing the short web animation series, Fox & Calf. - Animating On The Cheap

New T-Shirt Design!
Hey hey everyone, Ryan here! My friend, Colin, has started a really cool t-shirt company out of L.A. called L.A. NO Name and I've been asked to come up with some characters to go exclusively on their shirts, so of course I said yes. And here is the first one, which features a creature I call Spike, playing the guitar with his feet (he doesn't seem to have any arms or hands). If you're interested, you can purchase the shirts HERE! And make sure to check out their other cool shirts in their SHOP.

First Two Shots Of "Monogamy"
Hey, Hey, I'm back! Sorry for the serious lack of posts the last two weeks, I've been out of the state on vacation. Anyway, I got back to work on my new Furryvale skit, "Monogamy," yesterday, and I'm liking how it's coming along. It's hard, though, with all the extra characters in the background moving around the whole time. It should get easier as I start getting to more close ups and the extras become less of an issue.
After I finished shooting the wide shot (directly above) with ALL of the characters moving and being active for a long time, I realized that I had done the whole shot without the main light source on, and had to reshoot the whole thing. I was not very happy. Oh well, now I'll ALWAYS check the light right before I start (Though, I thought I already had been).
Anyways, today I'll be back to animating, and hopfully I'll get a few nice shots in, and I'll be able to keep you all posted a little more often again. Adios! -
Robert Litton On Scoring Fox And Calf
Hey Hey Everyone! Well, in honor of Fox & Calf finally going up online, I figured over the next few weeks I would do some posts about certain aspects of the production. For the first one, Robert Litton has graciously offered some insight on the scoring process. Without the right music, films can really have a hard time delivering an emotional impact on the audience. That's why Robert's job is so important, because he heightens
