I was very lucky to work with Director Eric Goldberg on “Fantasia 2000“.  The style was broad, rubbery, and cartooney.  Great fun to animate!  We each were cast in about 4 scenes in the film.  I was awarded the first two cat and the milkman scenes.  I also animated Joe jack-hammering on the skyscraper, and Nanny passing out on the street corner.

Stone Sculpture

My mind stretched in this new rubbery animation style.  I learned it is OK to stylize a character outside my comfort zone.  Animating the Hirshfeldian designs was like permission to enter abstraction.  My design sense grew enormously.  I apply that freedom to my stone sculpture designs often, especially the horses.
