Playin' around with my new Cintiq...

Chieftains 2

I grew up listening to my Dad's Chieftains 2 cassette tape all the time. I think we even wore the tape out on long road trips. One of the songs was called 'Banish Misfortune'. So I youtubed the song and found this. I want to buy a tin whistle now. This guy is so good.

Haha!! I love this!! Pure Soul!!

Homemade Halloween Costume 2008

Inspired by, of course, Daft Punk.








Eric Deuel, as a NASA astronaut.



Sean Szeles, as a dapper 20's gentleman.


Behind the seams.... ( get it? ha...good )






Hoot hoot!

I didn't want to post this!!!

Ugh! I didn't want to post this....but what the hell, here ya go. My 2d animation reel I came out of Cal Arts with. It's wayyy too long and there are lots of mistakes and things I would never put on my demo reel today. But you live and learn...right? So please be kind. Also, a lot of this animation was done straight ahead. It took me awhile to get used to the pose to pose method...and I'm still learning.

I have so many other tests that never made it to this reel. One day, when I'm 75, I'll have to digitize them and put them on my invisible 3d hologram future watch. One day.....




By the way, the animated big Ogre in the short clip of " I have a cunning plan..." was inspired by the talented Dan Holland. He's now doing Visual Development at Pixar. I stole a drawing of a hand he drew out of his trash bin one day. It was for one of his films....it was beautiful! Ha! Hey Dan! Did I ever tell you that??

Bernstein News...all the news all the time....

Sorry for the lack of posts. Things are a littel weird lately. I've been busy working on a book! Coming soon to a theatre...um....some sort of establishment near you. If you're at Comic Con, in San Diego, I'll be selling last year's book (Say Havarti) and the new book, which has no title just yet. I'll be selling at a table with none other than J.J. Villard.

This is what I look like now....the past few weeks have been pretty rough on me.

I saw the completed film last Thursday. We had the crew screening and wrap party that night. People were clapping, laughing, and cheering throughout the entire film! What an accomplishment. I'm proud to have worked on it and I do believe it's Dreamwork's best. Please check it out this weekend! Opens this Friday! June 6th! I'll post a list of the shots I animated soon.

Love it or hate it.... here's Cee Lo ( of Gnarles Barkley fame) doing his rendition of Kung Fu Fighting with Jack Black at the Celebrity premiere on Sunday.
