"Confusion": A Sam Zell music video to be presented in a moving music box.

This animation was created by Bix Pix Productions for a Sam Zell commission. The music video played in a gorgeous music box created for Sam Zell's top clients. The boxes were handed out at Sam's Birthday party in 2009. I helped with creating the cut-out puppets (see earlier posts with layout and creation of the puppets), as well as background plates, and green-screen animation (stop motion).

Robyn's Reel





Here is a reel of personal and professional animation that I have done over the years. It includes a variety of styles of animation, from computer and stop motion animation, to sand and cut out. For a higher quality version, please email me and I will gladly pass one on. 

Tom Brierton's "The Labyrinth"

I am excited to announce that I will helping Tom Brierton on his epic stop motion animation feature film "The Labyrinth". I am in the process of testing and painting the silicone puppets. I will be working from the famed special FX stdudio "Nextage FX", headed up by special effects guru Anthony Grow. Famed sculptor, Jim Davidson, sculpted the gorgeous minotaur puppet, which I cannot wait to get my painting hands on to! I will keep you posted on this adventurous ride...

Jack Daniels Commercial


Here are a few pictures of a bee, which I recently painted and flocked for a new Jack Daniels commercial, for their honey flavoured whiskey. This is a teaser of the bee, which was created digitally, but the bee had to look exactly like this. It turned out beautifully. I will post the commercial once it goes live.
