Frankie

My friend Mike Pappa made a short film.....  Frankie.
I helped him make some mechanical props, and also did some compositing and animation in the film.  Here are some photos of the mechanisms he designed for Frankie as well as some stills from the finished film. Visit http://www.frankiemovie.com/ for more info on this short.
