Quick update

Patron,

The image above is the poster for My Chair, illustrated by Andrew Fowler. Also if you click play you can hear a few seconds of the soundtrack, composed by Maestro Monty Willoughby. He is doing an incredible job. Our deadline for everything...

Brief Lesson on Animation

Patron,

Enjoy this brief lesson on the power of animation!

The score for My Chair is well on the way. Monty Willoughby is killing it. He is incredible. He's about 70% done with the temp track. After that we will rent a studio and he will record the whole thing on a grand piano. I'm very excited to share it with y...

Getting started

Patron,

First of all, huge thank you to everyone that joined over the last month to support the final stretch of My Chair - and all 26 of you that purchased the early cut. I really appreciate it.

I am finally getting started with an extremely talented and genius pianist to score the damn thing. His name is 2025-07-16 22:43:23 +0000 UTC View Post

My Chair Early Cut

Patron,

Here is the early cut of My Chair.

This is what my entire life was dedicated to for the last eight months - and longer. I quit my job for this!!!

Only a few changes remain before the final upload, but this is pretty much it. I wanted to get it out to you as soon as possible, so, there is still no sco...

I'm done

Patron,

As the sun begins to rise on this early Friday morning, I've just wrapped filming "My Chair". Expect an early access, score-less release on Patreon within the next few days.

Thank you again for all of the support.

It died!

Patron,

Last night at 12:57 AM, while I was animating, the shutter curtain on my Sony a7iii snapped. I had read before that there were cases in which the shutter had broken at 10k-50k clicks. "Most still fine well past 150k." I read tonight. Well, using ExifTool I discovered that my camera has made exactly 113,342 click...

Final (I think) update before upload

Patron,

Thank you thank you thank you for your patience. I have only two pages of the script left to shoot and edit before I’m done with my end of this long delayed, long awaited, long toiled over short film. As you read in the title, this will be the final update - the remaining two pages of the script are the climax...

Getting.... Closer....

He can't fit :(

Animating away....

Enslaved

Patron,

We're getting closer and closer to completing the stop motion short, and we’ve reached a great turning point in the story. The man is now enslaved by his furniture.

I keep saying this, but I’ll say it again - I can’t wait to get away from full on stop motion. My next project will be a return to form...

Tada!!!

I finished the fking block city

God damn I struggled with this. Finally breaking ground on the block city. It's impossible to replicate the intricate majesty of Walter Wick's I Spy landscapes. I do not have the talent. But... I'm still pretty happy with it, it's the best I can do.

Patron

I hope you are well. Here's a little clip animated by Thomas and his buddy Nathanial. We are finally getting to some action!

RIP David Lynch.

Have an honorable day.

Eric

6 minutes!

Patron

I hope you are well! Thomas and I have achieved 6 minutes of stop motion! Unfortunately, we aren't even halfway through the story... My god... What am I doing??

Back to work!

Eric

Chair March BTS

2 hours, 195 frames, less than 10 seconds of video.

Listening to the "Whisper of the Heart" soundtrack by Yuji Nomi cuz we're weird like that.

Now to spend countless more hours fixing the exposure changes. Fuck partly cloudy.

I can't wait to share more! We march on.

WIP Video Footage (SPOILERS)

Patron

Here is more unfinished stop motion footage from my upcoming project titled... I don't know... Maybe "My Favorite Chair" , or "My Alive Things" or something with the word My at the front of it. I might drop the whole My [Descriptor] [Noun] title system. It's been months since the last one. I was kind of attached...

Woah!!!

Happy Election week!!! Thank you for sticking with me through these trying times. Over the past few months I have evolved into a half pig half chimp like creature. My one shirt I wear every day is covered in dandruff and stains - and drool. I've become a drooler. I drool now. I eat only frozen pizza. Worst of all...

Hello My Beautiful Creatures

Co-directed, co-wrote and co-animated a movie with Joel Haver! He set a challenge for himself to make twelve movies in twelve months, and approached me to tag team his "April" project. Well things got a little out of hand and we wound up shooting together 27 days straight, 15 hours or more a day. We (95% Joel) spent the next ...
