// #TurningRed spoilers. These were some of the most fun shots I’ve ever gotten to animate. I was also amazed to see they used my rough fx sketches as some of the actual fx in the film!

One of my biggest career regrets is not being able to spend more time working with the #WinOrLose crew. In my very short time, however, I was finally able to animate a hot dog slapping someone in the face. Stream the first 4 episodes on Disney+ now!

My first pitch for Lance Slashblade’s lipsync in #InsideOut2 involved getting a Japanese-speaking animator to translate and record Lance’s lines for me. I matched his mouth to the translation so it would look like the actual line was an English dub.

While I’m not a hockey player myself, I was lucky to get lots of guidance from hockey experts at Pixar when inventing Riley’s “thread the needle” move for #InsideOut2. I watched so much hockey that YouTube still recommends Peter Forsberg compilations a year later 🏒

As much of a pain as teasers are to make, it’s always fun to see everyone’s reactions to the team’s work so early. I was lucky enough to do this shot with all the core emotions in it, and also introduce Anxiety to the world! #InsideOut2

I was shocked to learn that older animators did not have the same reverence for Space Jam that I did 💀.
working in animation is realizing a coworker was a lead artist on tarzan, your favorite movie ever, going "i. literally work in animation because of you", and for the coworker to say "sorry about that".

I always compared these #Elemental shots to building a ship in a bottle - I wasn’t able to hide the set while animating because it was integral to Ember and Wade’s motion, so I was stuck in the crack along with them. So many headaches in this little space!

Tarun continues to be one of the best to ever do it 🙌🏻.
Early #Elemental animation test in 2D! It was really fun to explore the uniqueness of how fire people would move in this world. This was done early to help influence animation sensibilities and what we would need built for the cg rig as it got built.

An #Elemental anim test I did with our boy Clod! Experimenting with how much texture we could put in the earth character’s movements to make them feel like they’re made of dirt/rocks.
