artsurfsoul@Buck from Matt Lawler on Vimeo.

With time on my hands as the summer season spread its wings, I created this piece in hopes to land myself an internship at the incredible Buck animation studio. The beautiful animation, character design, and motion graphics work at Buck has inspired me to drive my career in the direction of this industry.

The audio on this piece is by Wisp. song:Across The Pale Sea. You can find it on The Synchronicity Suite.

Tribute to Jake Starley from Matt Lawler on Vimeo.

This Video is dedicated to my good friend Jake Starley, who has been a fantastic design mentor and friend to me.

Jake created the music which inspired the piece. He is also responsible for the jellyfish character, which originated in his sketchbook, ended up framed on my wall as a gift, and is now animated in this project.

The project was created using Adobe Flash, After Effects, and Photoshop.
