The new animated show open. This revived a major facelift. New background, text and character animation. I was asked to create new "twinkles" and after 3 days of hard work, (it's not as easy as it sounds) I was told my twinkles looked like "Star Search". Nothing quite captured to look and feel of the originals so they stayed!

Season 3 brought many additions to Barney. He got a plane, a car, I think he even got a train! These regular season additions prompted several home video releases. This was a ton of fun to create since Barney never had any real effects work. Granted, it's not "Independence Day" but a big step up for your average 7 year old! Hey, even I was impressed!

Not as profound as other public speakers, Barney Says did offer some useful suggestions. How else will you remember to brush your teeth or get plenty of rest! Note the cool new ABC's background and the non Start Search twinkles! Yeah, I know, I'm going to have to learn to get past that.

The Barney Safety Video was a great project. Not only in terms of child development but it also garnered several national awards for children's education. I was presented with a framed award for this project but I don't display it. Every time someone see it they say, "Ewwww! You did Barney?" Now I am one of many closet Barney enthusiasts.

A little more detail in the process of making a cardboard car go down the road! Composites, color correction, animated wheels. and shadows. It was very fuel efficient!

Another comp from the home video "Riding in Barney's Car". Most of my animation work is done Lightwave 3D.
