Weeds, Season 8: Growing a New Opening

Airing now for the Season 8 of Showtime's off-beat comedramady Weeds, are the new RSA-style animated opening credits very gratefully designed, directed, and drawn by yours truly; working along with my associates at IdeaRocket Animation, Will Gadea, and the very talented Irish After Effects wizard, Jonathan Parson at Mute Grab, the piece recaps the history of the show's storyline, up 'til this, the final season. It was a pleasure to work with the folks at Showtime, and with my IdeaRocket compadres. Check out this Studio Daily article, and have a look at our finished product:

Animation Design Comes to Life – Actual Shots from Different Spots

Here are shots from actual spots demonstrating how animation design fits content and brand; a variety of looks I've come up with for a variety of requirements – and shown in a variety of venues...

from online to on-the-air...

Design for an online animation, the kind I specialize in at

IdeaRocket Animation

The hand-drawn style supplies unfolding action to the storyline...

Designing an entire world

where every character

is built from it's own word,

for Word World, airing on

PBS Kids...where I created a lot of easily-read characters,

their legible locations, and lots of their well-spelled stuff.

An editorial look for a groovy trip back in history...

And an upcoming animation describing what animation can do...

...maybe we'll end up with a corner office!

See what I do with IdeaRocket,

And a lot more animation design of all kinds at my site.

Call on me for any kind of animation design solution,

particularly if it's perplexing, pop, or playful!
