Do You Draw A Lot Of Inspiration From Ivan Maximov By Any Chance?

Do you draw a lot of inspiration from Ivan Maximov by any chance?

Never watched any of his stuff before, but from a quick image search he looks very cool. I really dig a lot of Russian animation, they seem to be on a good wave length.

HOW DARE YOU SPEAK AGAINST THE GLORY OF THE TURDUCKEN! HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE A CHICKEN STUFFED INTO A DUCK STUFFED INTO A MOTHER FUCKING TURKEY!?!?!?! THAT SHIT IS PERFECTION, AND YOU ARE UNFOLLOWED!

"I know longer wish to see your art, due to differing views on excessive meat dishes."Unrelatedly, this is my duck, Lady Guinevere.

What disgusts you? Because it seems to me that nothing would.

The concept of turducken, and everything it embodies.

Some jars I animated to be used as ident type things in a recent screening. The jars themselves were drawn by the talented and incredibly handsome Ariel Victor. I wanted to animate them straight ahead, but they needed to resolve themselves into Ariel's illustrations, so I animated them all backwards. It's a fun technique to play around with, "straight behind animation"- the end results are far from logical or naturalistic, but you still arrive at intrinsically satisfying movements.

Why don't you make more vids?

Because I've been completing my degree. Don't worry though, I've got a new film that I've been working on all year that's coming out soon. It's been a strange year in that way; spending all day every day animating, while constantly receiving emails and comments from strangers saying "why aren't you animating more?"

hey guys
