#introduceyourself tysonjames stop motion animator

in animation •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hey Steemit!

So apparently I missed the #introduceyourself part of this, so I'm making up for it now.

Hi, my name is Tyson James and I'm a stop motion animator, illustrator and filmmaker.

Most of the year, I work on a kid's show called "Tumble Leaf" for Amazon, as an animator.

Here are some shots of me over the past few years working on the show "Tumbleaf," for reference of what I do:

TL105_059_01_X1_0003_EDIT.jpgTumbleLeaf_Edit.jpgIMG_5206.jpgIMG_2661.jpg

When I'm not doing that, I'm usually working on commercial projects, or my own content. I'm currently putting together a series of skits called "The Legend of Dink," which I'm documenting over on my blog: https://steemit.com/stopmotion/@tysonjames/the-legend-of-dink-production-entry-01

While it was thru the crypto community that I joined steemit, I'll mostly be posting about animation stuff, so if that is something that interests you let me know! I'm aiming to post fairly regularly.

Thanks for peepin' this post!

Nice animations dude - Be sure to check out @dtube for some of them, it's kinda STEEM's youtube ;)
Resteemed you via @welcoming, my page for showcasing promising new users!
Greets, @theaustrianguy

Hey thanks so much, I appreciate the resteem! Definitely a learning curve to this platform, but I'm trying to familiarize myself as best I can. Will check out dtube for sure.

A very well written post!

Thanks for introducing! Hello!

Welcome aboard, I posted about you here if you want to check it out.

I don't usually follow the #introduceyourself tag, but I came across your post and it got me thinking.

Also gave you 100% upvote and suggested a few others do the same.

yes, thanks for that article, as it brought me here....

Yeah thank you for the post! It was a great piece and I'm looking forward to reading more of your articles.

thanks for showing me this :) Really nice to see

It's so beautiful to have you here on steemit. I took time to come welcome you and I know you will love it here. Welcome to our family. @greatness96

wow, it's so cool 😎

Never too late to introduce yourself hope it's never too late to welcome you. =)

welcome to steemit, followed and upvoted!

man you are awsome

Thanks man, I appreciate it! More stuff to come if you're into stop motion stuff :D

Love your stuff! So cool. Excited to see more of your work. I cant imagine the attention to detail that you need. Very impressed!

Thanks! I'm hoping to share as much insight into the process as I can.

Hi Tyson,

Stop motion rocks! Must be pretty great to work in that department. One of my dreams as a kid, although I never really went for that direction. Probably because my parents expected me to go to University. So I ended up studying film theory and later had to teach myself to actually make films.

Anyhow, it's always a pleasure to meet a fellow filmmaker! I haven't seen too many of them around here. I'm very much looking forward to your future posts.

Feel welcome!

Thanks Vincent, I appreciate it! Yeah I haven't noticed much of a film/animation presence on the platform either...hoping to change that tho. I'll try to keep my posts entertaining and informative.

I haven't even discovered much, after half a year on here. Although, I must admit that I was head deep into my own (non crypto) bubble for a while.

There's something extremely interesting going on though and... if you haven't already found this, you should definitely check out these guys and their amazing project: @juliakponsford and @vachemorte 's The JuJu Gum Conspiracy:

Bye for now!

Too cool! My cousin and I use to make stop motion animation shorts with my micro machines. I wish I still had them. I've always enjoyed watching and making them. Maybe I could make some for fun, just to post on #dtube :) hahaha I'll be following for some Dink Details, lol. Cheers!

Oh thanks man! Yeah I'm going to try and keep as current as I can with the dink project, as that's where all of my free time is going.

Bummer you lost your micro machine shorts, those would be fun to see!

Right! So dang long ago, I think we are talking tape instead of digital...lol.

cool

Fantastic intro. I love your animation work and my 4 year old thinks it's amazing. I enjoyed going through your animation reels on Vimeo. As a digital artist, I have been intrigued by stop motion for a long time. Once I can formulate the questions, I'm certain you will be hearing from me.
I , too, came in via the crypto community and have yet to do my introduceyourself post. I am inspired by your late entry to produce my own soon. Followed and upvoted you today.

Hey thanks for the support, I really appreciate it!

I'm trying to showcase stop motion in the best light that I can, so I'd be happy answer any questions you might have in the future -- I'll be covering it all (sets, puppets, props...etc.).

This is awesome. You should do like a steemit stop motion animation. This community is really starting to get some amazing potential. I'm not familar with stop motion but is that you readjusting every motion that the figurines make? I guess that's why they'd call it stop motion. RIP. haha

haha yeah! It's frame by frame until the shot's done. Regarding a steemit stop motion, I'm actually kicking that idea around...I'm just trying to strengthen my position here in the community before that, as my exposure level isn't particularly high right now. Hopefully in a few months after I've gauged how much interest there actually is for animation on here.

I have a ton of things to post about tho! So I'm looking forward to sharing more of my work with the community. Thanks for the suggestions!

Kool animations. Keep on posting kool stuff bro.

Wow, this is honestly one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
I love stop motion and the show you work on looks so cute!!

Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it :D

Thanks a lot! Hoping to put out as much quality stop motion content as I can, as I feel like there isn't much of a community for it online.

HOly crap!!!!! This is amazing! I've done some very amateur stop motion art projects myself, but nothing compared to this....Do you like Svankmajer?

Welcome :)
May the force be with you <3

I love traditional stop motion animation- i did a bit for my degree show at Uni, but more Monty Python cut outs than 3D models.
Cool post, following.

Oh yeah, Terry Gilliam is great. I'm a big fan of his work too! Thanks for the support!

Welcome to steemit

Nice to meet you! I love stop motion animation, like Michel Gondry's work

Awesome! Yeah I have a lot of stop motion to share with the community, so I hope it's entertaining. :)

Wuoh, interesting career, I want to do a stop motion video but I can't manage to do it.So basically, I am going to be interested in your content.This is the first time I heard that someone is doing something like this!

a stop motion video of a stop motion video :D

cool introduction!

haha Thanks! Was going for an inception of sorts.

😂

Love the work. We need more artists and creatives like you in our community. You'll most certainly be appreciated. Welcome home.

Tyson, hello!

I really liked your introducing.
Your work it's amazing. Congratulations

this is truly amazing! ive always wanted to look into animation but i have a couple friends who always complained about how time consuming it was (they might not have been as passionate about it as they might have thought they were) so it kind of discouraged me from taking classes on animation. but now i regret it because i might have been able to do some really cool stuff like this! it's very inspiring, thank you for sharing this part of your work with us!

Your post is fantastic ! The best post !!
😊

Don't know who you are but you cute.
