Javan Ivey

New collection arrival came in a box fit for an experience. The kind of box in your uncle’s basement that you weren’t allowed to open and play with. So it had to be opened and played with. #52toys #beastbox #voltron #collectibles #sacredpower #unboxing

More than five pencils.

Thank you Javan Ivey @javanable for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us at this month’s MOSMA Animation Jam! Javan took some time to walk us through the rigging process and motion control. So many great conversations and discussions were had! Thanks everyone for joining us and keeping the Museum of Stop Motion Animation programming fun, insightful and inspiring. _________________ @dan_ackerman @amberjnewby @larsclarsen @draw_inks @flanneldonut @franson.design @dollskt @mickey_christine @caitlyncmonroe @teah.toons @alsborocreations @karla.sant @alexeisiddensku @noah_pfarr @what______wat @richardboneski #stopmotion #portland #museum #animation #rigging #motioncontrol #events #stopmotionanimation #portlandanimation @brian.capati @coral.grace @503balderas @alavaoceanco @indybloo @marzmeg @annika___schindler @christenzatz @kirstymunn @the.spectral.studio

High Tide on the workbench

Well, they’re shy. Been meaning to play around with these toys for awhile now, I think they have some potential. #stopmotion #stopmotionanimation #rigging #beastbox #52toysbeastbox #dragonframe

Some real details

Okay, it’s really pretty cool to see work stuff recontextualized into a little collected celebration of our little corner of the world. Having feels.

Small rigging photo dump - Tomorrow night we’re up for an exciting acclaim, and I’m looking back with joy at the ingenious batch of people I was privileged to be with in the Rigging Department. We were lead by the graceful guidance of Shami @shamidionne and Lars @larsclarsen . It felt great to go into work every day and work with such amazing people and support such talented animators and help solve such unique and interesting problems. It’s already been a thrill seeing everyone’s excitement about the film, and it’s an honor just to be nominated. #pinocchiomovie #bts #stopmotion #stopmotionrigging #oscars2023 Timelapse by @ptszk of Animator @grambersher on a rig that I built

Recovered!! Found near cathedral park. Looks like it had a little adventure, met some new people, probably short, going by the mirrors, but quick with wiring and axe body spray? I have a couple extra pallets now if anyone needs.

Datsun has been stolen. 774 GYF license plate. Country fair stickers in the windshield. Airtag last pinged from St. Johns area, but check plates, I know there is a twin truck in that area. Thx 👀
