2/6 | It's tricky to get it "right." Noodling around involves lots of moving parts (Character Animator, Photoshop, After Effects, Blender (modeling/animation).  #Animation #AnimatedShorts #2DAnimation #3DAnimation #Blender #DigitalArt  #Art #TimeBasedMedia #Maine #MaineFilm #MaineFilmmakers #comics

3/6 | Working in Blender has been a blast. Years past, I found the software to be overwhelming. Current versions of Blender and me(!) are working much better together. I'm starting to get it. #Animation #AnimatedShorts #2DAnimation #3DAnimation #Blender #DigitalArt #Art #Maine #MaineFilm #comics

5/6 | Fern is first character that did not start on paper. Otis has been around a long time - he's a fragment from an old sketchpad who has made a few appearances in my stuff over the years. #Animation #AnimatedShorts #2DAnimation #3DAnimation #Blender #DigitalArt #Art #Maine #MaineFilm #comics

4/6 | I will never be a great modeler - my style is kind of leggo-ish. My challenge is making worlds that work for my art/stories. I'm OK with where I am at my learning curve. #Animation #AnimatedShorts #2DAnimation #3DAnimation #Blender #DigitalArt #Art #Maine #MaineFilm #MaineFilmmakers #comics

So many fun behind-the-scenes photos over many years of making films.

This was our first feature "(I'm Living) A Charmed Life" (1999) - a queer af improvisational / unconventional rom-com with a lot of recognizable faces and bands from 1990s Portland, ME #indiefilm #mainefilm #womeninfilm
Shooting the dinner scene in our Brackett Street kitchen with Scott Mullenberg, Buffy Miller, Tammy Duffy and Betsy Carson (behind the camera) Close up of "Fred" (played by Scott Mullenberg) Buffy Miller playing Lulu.

Had a great time with these magical actors shooting "Tracking the Comegato" docuseries

#indiefilm #indiefilmmaker #Maine #MaineFilm #productionstills #TrackingtheComegato #ComegatoWeaselMan #mainecryptid #cryptozoology
A woman in a green cardigan wears headphones and talks into a mic. This is "Ruby GX" whose podcast is titled "Hoax Destroyer GX." She is being portrayed by Ruth Gray who you might catch in the background of some "Law and Order" some time. A woman wearing the lesbian uniform of plaid shirt, khakis and a backward baseball cap has her hands spread as if she's trying to explain why she *might* have resorted to kidnapping someone. This is Candy Cane (not her real name) and she is portrayed by Cassandra Hutcheson. Candy Cane wears her worry on her face. Did she take things too far this time? Candy Cane (L) and Ruby GX (R, wearing the sleep mask blindfold) are sitting in the backseat of a car. Candy Cane looks scared that Ruby GX will decide to press charges after this escapade...

Today I shot the first four shots of a new project. It’ll be a slow ramp up to principal photography. I am starting with b-roll and other moments that do not involve primary roles. Today we filmed in the City of Augusta, Maine. #MaineFilm #MakingMovies #cinema
