New series on my Youtube channel on how to create a puffer jacket in Clo3D. This channel is for sharing all the tools and techniques I use in Blender, Unreal, Clo3D, and After Effects. Giving back to the hive mind - youtube.com/@NoClassNoProb


Today I sent the final copy of The Bell Affair to Random Media- the distributor who bought our animated feature film! Funny thing is - this file is so tiny yet has reached so many families connected to this incredible story! I’m so happy those families have embraced the film. 🙏

Much needed home renovations raise historical questions- did the ancient craftsman who built my 1972 ranch have limited access to insulation? Why didn’t they use it?…anywhere. Were nails not yet invented?

Juneteenth has always been a big deal in Baltimore, and our crew is proud to be screening Eroding History today at a large urban film festival at The Lyric. From 3:30-5, we screen and discuss. Come by to see me, @achungphoto, and the incomparable Sean Yoes who is not on Twitter!

From our next film The Diary of Michael Shiner. We chose 1 pg from over 60 years of handwritten history. More about our films in my profile #animation #blackhistory #ushistory #film #shortfilm #libraryofcongress #americanhistory #freedom #america #dramaticfilm #animatinghistory


Man!… Maggie Murphy is a rockstar. Talk about somebody with a positive attitude toward success and challenges alike. I learned a lot from her.

Drove from Nebraska to Virginia in one piece. 10 and 7 year old in back seat with the dog. No tears or fights. Yes I’m bragging.


Here’s an establishing shot in our next film The Diary of Michael Shiner. Washington DC at night during the #leonidmeteorshower in November of 1833 when 240K meteors rained down over the course of 2 days! Michael described it as “having scared the people half to death.”


Here looks to be another great example of animated history.

Finished the 1st draft on a pilot script for this. It’s a story inspired by a place not far from where I grew up in Kentucky, Mammoth Cave. I’m considering creating an animated teaser for this one… #animation
