About Me

“Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up”
-Pablo Picasso

I was drawing shortly after I could walk. I was creating worlds and characters in my mind and on paper before I could write my own name. I’ve spent the majority of my life painting, drawing, filming, photographing, writing and creating to make sense of this wonderful world.

Now I make short films mostly.

This was unquestionably the most difficult project I’ve ever undertaken. The amount of work and incredibly high learning curve proved to be extremely frustrating for me. After 3 months of work and countless weeks where I never saw sunlight (literally), 2 broken storage drives, 3 mental breakdowns, 30 miniature temper tantrums and 1 tremendously huge one; I give you my first fully animated CGI short designed for a client.

From concept, drawing, modeling, rigging, texturing, lighting, animating, rendering, compositing, color grading and re-rendering. I learned the entire complicated process of bringing such a thing to life and let me be the first to tell you; it is not easy.

Thank you especially to my wife for her unending support.

This is a great accomplishment,Robb,especially knowing that you learned how to do the 3-d animation on your own! We know how frustrating and how much work it was.

I’m glad you made the “making of” video because it gives a hint of how many steps are involved in 3-d animation. Great job,Robbo!
