I Now Have A Dailymotion Account

http://www.dailymotion.com/ZacharyBurtAnimation#video=x17kyrz

I decided to get myself a Dailymotion account.
Even if I'm not making anything new at the moment, I might as well be getting my previous projects a lot more exposure.

New Demo Reel


I figured it was time to post a new demo reel, including a few projects I've produced in the past year, and some old favorites.

Halloween Project

I should be updating more frequently, but I'm in the middle of moving back to my hometown of Plymouth, MA and changing jobs. The important thing is, I'm animating.

Last year I was going to make a short that I hoped to have done by Halloween, but I never had a solid idea of what to make related to the season and went straight into making Santa On A Diet instead.

But this year, I'm giving that another go. Join me as we venture to Planet Halloween.





I realize this is the second short in a row I've started with a view of an entire planet.
 I should really stop doing that.

Our main character here is Pumpkin Head Jack, and he is in for a surprise when giant candy corn crashes into his house. I don't know why I keep making it rain food in my cartoons.






And that's all for now, so stay tuned for more updates on the project!

Visitors

A new animated short is completed.
It ended up being longer than originally intended when I realized I could squeeze some more gags in.
Enjoy.

A Different Kind of Alien

A new animation is coming!
It's going to be another short one like The Hemophiliac Donkey.


Why is it I always want to draw things when I'm at my day job, but I get home and lose that spark to create things? This little tentacle ball of joy was drawn on the back of a receipt rather quickly, but took a good chunk of my day to translate the design into Flash.

But, don't think I've given up on the 100 animals, either.
Here's proof that I'm still working on that:

The Quest to Draw 100 Animals

Unable to decide which of the many ideas I have to animate next, I decided to challenge myself to do something different.

For my next project I will be doing character designs for 100 different animals.



This is one of my new favorite animals. Go and Google it.


There are quite a lot of sea creatures on the list. There are so many to pick from.

Let me tell you, just naming 100 animals is harder than it sounds without just cheating and using several breeds of cats and dogs.
This won't be animated, just a fun challenge I decided to bring upon myself. To see how varied and creative I can get. Some of them will be realistic, some of them will be bizarre.

This will be organized and posted on Youtube and here when it's finished.

What Inanimate Objects Are Thinking

Here's my first animation of 2013


This project was started a while ago, but put on hold so I could finish Santa On A Diet by Christmas.
