Rumschpringe 2009!

I just got back the first ever showing of a Tommy Robot cartoon on the BIG SCREEN!
"Robot Monkey Safari" was part of this year's Rumschpringe film festival in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This is the first time I entered a film festival, and I am honored to be a part of Rumschpringe.
All day long, my nerves were surprisingly calm as I looked forward to the show. But when those theater lights dimmed and the big screen started to flicker, I started to get excited. I thought, how cool is this? My cartoon is gonna be shown in a movie theater to a film going audience for the VERY FIRST TIME! Five months of anticipation leading up to this moment!
Then, as the title of my cartoon panned across the screen, the nerves and sweaty palms hit me.
I didn't have a breakdown or anything. Actually, it all went very well I thought. I received my big payoff seeing my creation larger than life, warts and all. Got a few chuckles from the audience and a nice applause at the end. In all, not bad for someone has been animating for only a year with no formal training.
If you were there in the audience, thanks for generosity by giving me five minutes of your time. Thanks to everyone involved with Rumschpringe, especially to Michael Hoober whose hard work and sacrifice put the whole thing together.
You gave me an experience that I will never forget!

"Robot Monkey Safari" selected as a finalist for Animation of the Month

Once again I'd like to thank my friends at ToonTube for selecting my cartoon as one of the seven finalists for Animation of the Month! I didn't win, but it was a great honor to have my work selected with six other really great cartoons. I had very stiff competition!
The winner of the Dec/Jan Animation of the Month is "Frankenparts" by Peter Crafts.

Well done, Peter! And congratulations to other finalists for being wonderful animators. I am truly not worthy!

From my old business card. I didn't know where else to put this.

Thank You Toon Tube!

"Robot Monkey Safari" was picked for Animation of the Day by ToonTube! http://toontube.toonlifeonline.com/
Check out ToonTube for great, family friendly animation. If you're an animator, post your cartoons there. It's a great community for animators!
Thanks again, ToonTube!

Here it is! "Robot Monkey Safari"

It took six weeks to complete. I finished it this morning.

All primary animation is done on new cartoon

There's still some work that needs to be done. The clips must be edited together and sounds and music need to be added. Title and credit work needs to be done as well. I finished the animation at my parents place in Delaware. I'll need to finish this thing when I get home and send it off to the film festival.
