This is a mostly completed animated advertising video from 2022. There's a long story here, but I'll try to make it as succinct as possible.

One of our clients decided he wanted to publish kid's books, and hired my old pal Scott Shaw! to illustrate them. At some point our client wanted to make an advertising video to plug the books. He wanted cute, full animation for sub-Saturday morning money. We ultimately made this very inexpensive video, but it was never shown. This was because A: One of the books being plugged was never actually printed, and B: Our client was supposed to supply a music track that failed to materialize.

Scott did the storyboards and layouts. I directed and animated, and did the digital cel painting. Dennis Venizelos did the background rendering. Russell Calabrese and Joe Campana did the compositing and video mastering.
