Phooled is a comedic animated short by Clemson University students in the Digital Production Arts MFA program. The film pays homage to the classic Looney Tunes episodes and in doing so features a boisterous lead character, gratuitous violence, and puns (also gratuitous).

My work on the film included all of the layout and cinematography, animating the feather in the opening sequence and the hand at the end, surfacing and texturing the decoy character (Fred) and the tree, as well as all of the sound and video editing. Enjoy!

Above is the promotional poster I designed for the film with the intent of giving a high-brow appearance to a subject matter that is clearly intended to have a more campy and low-brow appeal.

The epic trailer for Phooled (that is longer than the film itself).

And finally my demo reel from the film highlighting the work that I am personally responsible for. This includes all of the layout and cinematography, animating the feather in the opening sequence and the hand at the end, surfacing and texturing the decoy character (Fred) and the tree, as well as all of the sound and video editing.
