FAQ

  • Would you be available/interested in animating my music video/short film idea?

Thanks for inquiring! At this time I do not take on independent projects like this. I currently work full-time and unfortunately have limited availability for the kinds of external projects I can take on.

I am mainly available for freelance illustration, concept art, visual development, storyboard, and design. If you are a studio inquiring about freelance, in-house work, or work covered under the animation guild, please feel free to reach out to me to discuss your project. I am always open to opportunities with studios or covered by the guild.

  • I am a musician/voice actor/sound designer interested in working with you on your next film project.

Thanks for your interest! I may not be working on a project with those available roles open, but I welcome you to send me a reel of your work and I can keep it on file for when I do have a project with those needs. I always welcome potential contacts! Any open casting calls will be posted on my socials so feel free to check those as well.

  • What tools/software/brushes do you use?

Most of my digital work is done on a Wacom 22in Cintiq in Photoshop CC
Occasionally I work on my Surface Pro 4 and Clip Studio Paint

All animation work is animated in TV Paint 11 Pro, composited in After Effects CC & Premiere Pro CC

The brushes I like to use are usually just the Kyle Webster brushes. Belgian Comics is the brush I use the most in my work lately

I also love Shiyoon Kim’s brushes and Macalabs brushes

  • Can I repost/showcase your short film on my channel or platform?

If you are looking to repost or re-upload my animation work please contact me to look over your request on a case by case basis. Generally my policy with this is as follows -

Permitted usage: Reaction videos, commentary/breakdown analysis videos, alternate language dubs, music covers, fan art/animation
Non-permitted usage: Reposting the film as-is or with credits altered or your logo added, using the film as an unapproved music video, Reposting the film as-is with arbitrary edits (Filters, sped up, random music added, etc.)

Embedding the link of my original Youtube upload onto your website or blog is permitted. Permitted reposts should include a link to the original upload, with clearly designated credits. Reposts should never be monetized, on any platform, regardless of permitted usage. If you would like to contribute subtitles in a different language feel free to email me your .srt file and I can upload it to my original upload.
