About these Films!
Nagymama is an auto-biographical animated short about growing up with a very overprotective Transylvanian grandmother. And yes, the story is true (and Nagymama is still causing chaos today, at the age of 96! If you would like to see more Nagymama stuff (including videos I uploaded THIS WEEK), visit American Goulash!
Gestation Sensation explores a male seahorse's discomfort during pregnancy. The film was traditionally animated at the Philadelphia University of the Arts for my junior thesis project in under thirty days.
Why thirty days? Well, believe it or not, I began production on a film called Fabian Fish, a tale about a clownfish and a yellow tang trying to escape from a fishbowl (but the clownfish keeps forgetting "the plan" every few seconds.) Sound familiar? Yeah.
A month before the due date, my professor played the "teaser" for Finding Nemo. Great. I was basically in mid-production of the freakin "Dentists Office" scene in that movie - annoying pig-tailed, brace-faced girl and all! What the heck are the odds of that? So, I created Gestation Sensation and prayed that there wouldn't be a scene in Finding Nemo of a seahorse exploding into a cloud of babies! (It didn't happen! I'm still safe!)
