Popular Rex Animation

Popular Rex from Derek Charm on Vimeo.

I wanted to do something with that Popular Rex character (named by Michael Yuasa) this morning, but I didn't feel like doing a comic, since I am deep into drawing a long comic right now, and I didn't want to do a painting either. It occurred to me to use one of the few skills I picked up from four years of art school and make a quick video in After Effects from various related sketchbook drawings. I started this "quick, fun project" at 10 this morning. It's midnight right now. Rendering videos takes FOREVER. So, enjoy the 28 seconds of weird half animation. The music is a "Ghosts N' Goblins" video game theme remix by an artist called Cripple Camp, which I found on itunes.
