Way back in 2023, I was commissioned to create a few animated sequences for Jeff Ryan's slacker-noir, MOOCH. I've known Jeff via a script club we were both in, and I was eager to work with a friend of mine on a large-scale project.

These sequences were designed to be played on the lead character's television, and sync up thematically with his real-life attitude and situation. The first two were designed to imitate 90's-style comedy cartoons, with the last sequence is a nightmare, showcasing what life could be for him if he keeps with his lifestyle.

Unfortunately, the final animation was cut from the film, but I still had a ball making them, and working with Jeff and the good people at First-Name Films. And hey, I'm still credited and I was paid! THAT is what's most important.
