The trailer for the pilot episode of the adult animated drama

UPDATE: fixed some issues with the volume, hopefully it's more consistent. UPDATE 2: is that me? on da front page? waow, that's awesome. (Seriously, thanks!) Song is "Valentine's Day" by the band No More Lullabies. Special thanks to them for letting me use it, they're good people. DROPOUTS is an adult animated deep dive into the regrets of six young adults and their search for the decent lives they abandoned.The pilot episode follows Nick and Marissa, on the day after they break up, as they both fight against a universe seemingly determined to make sure neither of them get to work on time. Will they over come the odds? Maybe. Will they muster up the courage to awkwardly talk things out? Probably. Will they get back together? No, idiot. With production starting in February of 2024, it has almost been a year since I started this year. Unfortunately, I'm only just about halfway done at this point, and since I'm starting school this year it might be a little while longer than I initially anticipated for this thing to get finished... but hey, for one person that's a lot of progress in one year, so I'm not unsatisfied.

DROPOUTS: The Trailer

Hey guys, here's an animatic for a short film. Some of it's animated.

Dennis and Melanie Talk About Free Will

From Jellow Studios, Episode 4 of 6 of the full-length, original animated sitcom, Video Stars. "The Joke Is Over. Everything changes as one of the 'Video Stars' is kidnapped and forced to reckon with his/her past misdeeds." **About "ViDEO STARS"** This is our passion project. We are just two brothers who set out to make our dream idea (writing, directing, animating, scoring an animated TV show) into a reality. We figured, "why wait for someone to give us "the okay" to go out and make a show. Why not just do it?" Video Stars represents that, perhaps overly ambitious, dream. A character/dialogue driven animation series that pulls as much from indie film and mumblecore as it does from classic sitcom tropes and the cartoons we loved growing up. At 20mins a piece, these episodes can be a bit much to chew on at random, but if you share the love from character based humour we have, we would love for you to settle in, grab a friend and a beer, and enjoy Episode 4 of 6.

VS4 - Animals

From Jellow Studios, Episode 3 of 6 of the full-length, original animated sitcom, Video Stars. "In their third adventure, the gang splits up to find Rick's car and deal with the repercussions of the previous episode." **About "ViDEO STARS"**

VS3 - Save the Titties

From Jellow Studios, Episode 2 of 6 of the full-length, original animated sitcom, Video Stars.

In the last video store in the country...

From Jellow Studios, the first full-length episode of Video Stars!
