A lot of my ideas tend to come from me answering open calls - calls for shorts, spots in anthologies, 48 hour films, etc - and Dracula was no exception. The great Dave Merson Hess invited a number of indie animators to make Halloween cartoons in under a month, and I was lucky to be one of them. 

​

Production on the first was FAST - written/boarded in two days, voice recorded on another (with the voice notes app on my iPhone) and animated in about three weeks. I was happy to have a half-decent cartoon made in such a short time. And not only that, folks liked it! Probably my highest-viewed indie project thus far (maybe it's cause I'm raiding established IP) - I have a few more on the way, so stay tuned!
