My spirit animal, the American Buffalo.

I have to admit that I am more of a fan of the term Buffalo but it is because of the symbol of the creature and not so much the actual factual about the creature. I love that historically they had their own territory as they roamed the vast North American continent. These amazing creatures roamed from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico. Although these most powerful creatures once numbered in the excess of 10’s of millions they were once hunted to near extinction and only with massive intervention have they recovered to roughly 31,000, even if these numbers are restricted to only a select number of national parks and a few reserves. 

The sacred white buffalo “Big Medicine” represented all the sacred power of the mystic and real world around us. The buffalo symbol represents the sacredness of live and the abundance of resources around us. The buffalo is a symbol of self sacrifice and it will continue to give until nothing is left to offer. 

I love the idea of living up to the symbol of this great creature and one small way for me was to create this fun little drawing. 

The tale of two Networks

What a great video to work on with some great people. I have always enjoyed being able to throw a little homage  to other creatures and this was the perfect chance to say thanks for the work of previous animators and game makers. I think we did a pretty good job of creating a corporate video in this hand drawn style. 

Boat Ride

I don’t get to draw on the white board for every corporate video we produce here at Wienot Films, but there aren’t many that I don’t have the honor of working on initial storyboards. This video for IHS Markit was a fun quick storyboard to work on before I got to hand it off to the computer animator. I really like the look of the hand drawn video but this one is a great style. It is an amazing product for some effective marketing.
