Dilly here: as part of the process of developing a bit of animation one would perform the role to be animated. I recorded this multiple shot rehearsal of a Japanese demon called an "Oni" for "Goose in High Heels". The footage is used to study movement and timing and perhaps launch inspiration. Careful when conjuring demons... I am not a superstitious person, however when I started this sequence my HD crashed losing hours of work, my Cintiq failed, I injured my back, neck and jammed my finger... I tore up the mask and braved completion of the sequence. Is it possible to evoke the very spirit of evil with our intentions?

Dilly here: Goose coloring progressing... Enjoy my 2010 performance at the 92Y Tribeca, NYC. I was presenting a program of my films and a lucky audience member won a free 'head massage' by 'head' animator, Pierre Delarue of The Return of Sergeant Pecker fame:

Dilly here: Way back before developing "Prudence" with a major, she looked radically different when making an Indy short. Noticeable is her weight and lampshades. Compare with the Prudence redesigned to satisfy an idealized ( and unrealistic ) reality of what a girl should look like with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKZxJ... and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejWaV....
This scene is an early test from South Korean studio, Ziv Animation.
