2D character animator. Currently at Warner Bros Animation. I sometimes post pics of my G1 Transformers collection.

Joined April 2011
Updated my character animation demo reel for 2019. It was sorely out of date! youtube.com/watch?v=ShaoyaA5…

‘Birthday Grifts’ directed by @davidcoolzone & Storyboarded by @ryankhatam is so classically twisted I was floored when I first saw it. We got the chance to do a lot in house for which I’m forever grateful. #bugsbunny #elmerfudd #looneytunescartoons #looneytunes #animation2d

I've been using this website less and less. I understand it still has its place but you can find me at Instagram and Threads at "franksummersanimation"

I've been working on an idea for a short based on a 30-second snippet of audio over the past few months. This line test is just me kicking the tires on the design and finding out what I like/works. #animation

I returned as a retake animator for Season 4 of Harley Quinn. Snowflame is hilarious. Enjoy!

I did some retake animation on this for a hot minute. It's fun and cartoon-y which was refreshing.
Tasmania won't know what hit it! Check out the Official Trailer for Taz Quest for Burger, available on digital June 6.

The adventure begins! Just submitted @bravelocomotive to over 35 film festivals via the incredible @FilmFreeway! Can't thank my Patreon supporters and crew enough for enabling my probably categorical insanity for the past three years. 🙏❤️🚂 #PetPandemicPassionProject

Been playing with this gyroid build I made some time ago, but this time with Harmony's Light Shading applied.

Here is a static pose with the light source animated through the scene to show the simple bump-map which gave him some depth:

I've been goofing around with Harmony's Light Shading system some more, and how it can be useful with hand-drawn animation. This demo is 95% a single flat drawing. Fun stuff.

In addition to the main drawing, there are two smaller mattes to help inform the system where I wanted to control or cast a shadow.
