Weed. Ganja. The Devil’s Lettuce. Herb. Reefer. The Skunky Oregano. (The last allegory is mine.)

Whatever you call it, our job was to try to communicate to teens the cost and effects of marijuana on their underage-selves. This job enabled me to do a lot of things. One example? Make a bus look like its full of footballs. Another? Rotoscope a snail slow-crawling across a white background so it looks like its on a pink one. (Hard with the slime…) One more? Shadow technique on a bunch of bananas. Always fun and games talking about chronic with the yoots.

And, if anyone asks you to animate a chilling guinea pig? Always say yes… Always.
