Under Construction

Back in the USA, enjoying sunny Palm Springs, California.
Consulting, studying, developing.
The BlueRipple team continues to work with our valued clients and talented artists in various locations, worldwide.
Mostly I'm focusing on recent, relevant work & eventually I'll be moving older work over to this blog.

Milkdrop commercials

Singing, dancing, Spanish-language commercials, featuring Mr. Milkdrop, a happy-go-lucky mariachi. I assisted the director Steve Martino with character visual development, doing sketches and pose sheets from his design.

In 3D I helped to rig the model with Orie Hegre and the Click3x LA team, and did character development test animations in Softimage. We wanted to make the character look flexible, liquidy, and free-form on a fast commercial schedule, without building blend-shape models. So a shape-it-as-you-go rig was built. We then animated the shots, comped and edited them into the live action. These are just my shots.
