These movies are experiments in Photoshop and Final Cut Pro to see how far you can push layered Photoshop files as animation cells.

My interest here is creating moods to tell stories. In the first two there is no story, just the mood suggestion. The third, titled The Tyrant, has a story to tell, something I wrote years ago. The guitar performance is by my son, Ian, playing a piece he composed, not for the movie, but one that I was able to adapt for my purpose.

Below are four stories published here as PDFs (click to download or view). The graphics on the cover of each are also mine, the originals done in various media, some as woodcuts.

I have, from time to time, used the pen name TwoDogs. It was the name of our sheep ranch in western Oregon, and a name that was sometimes applied to me by my friends and neighbors in Oregon.
