I'm working with Degs Beldham, who has this nifty website Call My Other Number dot com where you can buy alternative phone numbers for your phone. I made a video for him for the Take One Small Step competition.

I hired my brother Nels to do the audio. We had a lot of fun working on it. Unfortunately we didn't win the competition, but we got into the top ten, woo! It took a little less than two weeks to make this. It was hectic at first, trying to find a time when Degs, Nels, and I would all be free to do the recording (an added difficulty that he lives in London and we in Texas).
This was a rare animation where I didn't use a storyboard. I wrote a script for the interview and voice over, and I made notes for what visuals I wanted, but I didn't draw anything out on paper before I started. It's a different approach that what I normally take, and it was fun and (dare I say) freeing to make it up as I went along.
Programs used were Illustrator, After Effects, and Protools (for Nels' audio work). Lots of help from the Video Copilot people. I always watch at leased 2 or 3 of their videos for any project I do. I'm pretty sure they know everything.
Right now, I'm working on my second animation for Degs. Meet Gabrielle:
