If I had the patience of a saint I’d do some half decent animations but no, not me. I leave that to the professionals, like Reete. These are more like ‘sizzle reels’, a storyboard of sorts, just to give animators (y’know, the real deal), or producers a feel for the content and style of a story. So here’s a few. And it looks like the Animation Dept of the Dundalk Institute of Technology will be hopping on board to add some more (like, legitimate, animations 😁).

The English narrated version of 'The Boy Who Farted', based on an Okinawan folk tale.

The Japanese audio version of 'The Boy Who Farted', based on an Okinawan folk tale.

One I did a few years ago, using a new software package. Roll over, Walt Disney.

Some recollections of mine, moving from Ireland to the USA in the 1970s.

A recent one, done just for the fun of it.
