JibJab's latest viral original, premiered for President Barack Obama tonight at the 65th Annual Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner! I watched his reaction online as he watched my shots. CRAZY! You can watch it HERE!

Here's some shots I did some FX and animation on for a music video for the band Cryptacize, directed by Weston Currie. You can see shots from the sequence below. The thermometer was created entirely in AE. No paper involved!
UPDATE: Featured on Spike Jonez's official "Where the Wild Things Are" blog!
I recently had the joy of working on Jibjab's latest tentpole. These are the scenes I got to composite. The RAM previews took FOREVER. You can view the whole thing HERE!
