Bronze Dragon Fight and Flight Tests FancyPantsBionicle 2020-03-30 | Hey everyone! Here is a short collection of some Bronze Dragon flight and fight animations that I've been working on over the past year! Most of these have already been posted on my twitter, but I realized that many of you probably haven't seen them yet, so I wanted to share them with you all here on YouTube. I'm sorry I've been a bit quiet on this project lately but rest assured that things are still in motion (even if that motion is slow motion)! My current goal is to finish "Rise of the Bronze Dragon Episode 1" by June 27th (the two year anniversary of the first trailer)! I don't know how feasible that is but that's what I'm shooting for right now! I really hope you like them and thank you all for your patience!

Soldier, Poet, King Fan Animation (First Two Verses Unedited) FancyPantsBionicle 2023-10-16 | Hey all! I'm not dead! I found out this morning that the Oh Hellos are celebrating the 8th anniversary of Soldier, Poet, King and released a new lyric video and pin set to celebrate! To celebrate, I wanted to show you all a quick sneak peek of the fan animation that I've been working on between freelance projects and work! I'm roughly half way done, but need to redo the third verse because one of the characters broke (plus I wasn't happy with it). So I hope you all enjoy this quick video! Lord willing I'll be able to finish before the end of the year! Also definitely check out the official video! It's freaking adorable and I love it! The link's posted below!Official Lyric Video: youtube.com/watch?v=uedJx6hkKS0
Where is Your Rider (Stop Motion Clip) FancyPantsBionicle 2023-01-14 | I've been in an Oh Hellos mood lately. Before settling on, "Soldier, Poet, King" for the 2000 sub special, one of the songs I thought about animating was "Where is Your Rider" because it's awesome and I got the general idea for its animation down pretty immediately. I'm still gonna make a full music video for this song at some point, but for now just wanted to get this clip done.

Triumphal Entry FancyPantsBionicle 2022-04-12 | So after a bit of a set back, I decided to continue my Lenten (and now Holy Week) series with a Palm Sunday animation!

And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
