TV Specials

If you enjoyed Madagascar and Monsters vs. Aliens try and catch the two television specials we've created here at Dreamworks that bring the cast of those movies back for the holidays.

Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space, has our heroes back in Modesto, California, protecting children from candy eating mutant pumpkins on Halloween Eve. It will premiere October 28th at 8:00pm ET/PT on NBC, I believe.

Merry Madagascar will have our lovable Zoosters save Chirstmas. Also premiering on NBC November 17 at 8:00pm ET/PT.

Hope you enjoy these when they are released.

Still living the dream

Monsters Vs. Aliens came out on DVD a couple of weeks ago. The DVD extra for the DVD was my 3rd Dreamworks project. The 10 minute short called Bob's Big Break includes a "True 3D" viewable version. The 3D experience leaves something to be desired when compared to a theater 3D screening... still it's pretty cool that this technology is getting introduced into the home. And Dreamworks is one of the biggest promoters of 3D technology - we are going to start to include a "True 3D" version of every DVD release starting with our upcoming feature film release "How to Train Your Dragon".



As a Chracter Effects Artist I simulated and final-ed the cloth on Dr. Cockroach, General Monger and Susan, as well as any other extra who happened to walk into one of my shots. I also animated crushing, crunching and squishing inanimate objects. I did a bunch of character contact type work as well (i.e. making sure feet weren't going through the ground, hands through props or other characters, etc.)
