One day I randomly stumbled upon a video by Happy Harry which was very helpful in explaining basically how to work a good flash animation. So I through together an improvised animation featuring Shortlad fighting some sort of large snake just for fun. I think it turned out pretty swell and maybe some day if I put enough commitment into learning animation there may be a new and improved Short Lad: The Animated Series.

I WORKED ON A MUSIC VIDEO
So they time finally came when I was assigned a group to work on a music video and if I'm gonna be frank I believe ours came out better than most peoples in my college class. I'm still thoroughly impressed by this as it is my first music video. We all alternated roles in the production but eventually created individual cuts. Sadly though my cut was never the official one used It's still a cool thing to take a look at in my opinion.
James Parsons is a cool cat to work with so check him out: https://www.youtube.com/user/JustParsons

INVASION IN THE BACKYARD - a tale of woe, misery and 48 hr short films
This was originally my entry for the 48 hour sci-fi London short film competition however, This became a disaster!
They claimed they would send me my brief at 11:00am and they sent me one line: The line I appear to be saying in the thumbnail picture above. Also my improvisation for story didnt serve me as well as I was hoping thus I feel like I could've been capable of something funnier than this. We began the shoot and I was plagued by a lack of motivation as well as increasing disinterest in my actress and girlfriend.
Thoroughly disenchanting.
To top it all off, I began editing and I was hit the realisation they had sent me even more details. I'm unsure when it was they sent me these belated demands. However there was no one I could meet them therefore my film no longer reached my specified needs.
On the bright side however, this was the first time I completed a short film using Premiere Pro editing software on my own Macbook and for which I feel it boosts the quality of the film slightly, despite an exporting glitch causing my film to render at a lower quality.
Oh well, through this I've developed a bitter distaste for these types of competitions and I'm mildly reluctant to try them again but at least I made a short goofy video.

ESCAPE FROM THE GIANT (2006)
This is one of my very first movies. A true Small Studios classic from the way back when - I used to just improvise movies on the fly in the backyard. Now for the first time witness it online! and see how crappy things were....and still kinda are.
Transported to another land these strange action figures from a variety of shows must try to escape a giant looming presence of a killer foot!
