Hi, friends and family! After two years, I’m ecstatic to finally announce that Barry @strum_believable and I have ignited our animation studio: Midnight Oil Animation LLC!

We're unleashing animated horsepower with our full-service cartoon studio that also creates original stories that puts artists at the forefront. So buckle up and join us on this exhilarating ride because we have a lot of exciting new projects to share with you within our creative engine (also including more Rainbow Floor)!

It would mean the world to us if you followed @midnightoilanimation if you haven’t already; we kinda made-shifted the rainbow floor page into our official Midnight Oil Animation page. Welcome to the vibrant world of MOA!

Greetings, dudes! I’m beyond excited to announce that me and the @midnightoilanimaton team collaborated on a music video for @yogabbagabba for the 6th episode “Me” on @appletv ! PLEASE WATCH THE SHOW IT’S SO WHOLESOME AND WILD AND GOOD!

With this project, I stepped into my first official industry role as a director! This gave me the honor of leading the story ideation and storyboarding, guiding the animation, and shaping the overall art direction, including character designs and initial backgrounds. I couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of my team: Michelle Velasco @ey_michie , our fantastic animator; Megan Maniago @mvggens , our talented background artist; and Barry Strum @strum_believable , our amazing internal production coordinator.
An enormous thank you to @sixpointharness and AppleTV for producing, giving our company this incredible opportunity, and trusting us to bring this project to life! Here’s two soundless snippets of the spot we created—hope you enjoy it!
