Political Animations

In addition to my political cartoons I am now producing animations based on current events.  Though things come and go real fast so animation has to be timely and you have to be willing to spend more hours and less payoff if a subject material has passed its freshness date.  I was a few days late with the Egyptian uprising, but I hope this has captured the mood and sentiment in Egypt…

12 Days of Christmas on CNN

CNN will be doing a special 12 days of christmas video.  I was happy to participate and one of my animations…”3 French Hens” aired on CNN Thursday morning.  We’ll see what the final video actually looks like!

Why I Vote video

It’s that time of year where politics are ripe.  One thing that is playing a prominent role are videos…whether they are attack ads, satire, funding pleas, or pundits debating the minutiae, I wanted to chime in on this phenomenon.  This video is a response to the NY Times invite to produce short videos on why are we going to vote this year.

The film was published in the NY TIMES…

Lives of Lou, “Why America”

This is one of many stories my late grandfather told me in the winter of 2005.  I’ll post all of them at one point.  He’s not the most “sensitive” or “politically correct” but I still love him and his sense of story.  He has a few.
