I received links to the I Am A Paleontologist video by TMBG at least three times when it first came out, due to my love of animation and science. When Steph suggested that I check out Sean McBride’s animation projects, I was unaware that I had already seen his work in that video.

I’m a big fan of Dreamscapes, a montage of animated narrations taken from the dreams of many different people. I’ve created many physical objects from dreams, but since I don’t have the skills to produce an animation I really adore this.

And since my delight in the imagination of children never ceases, I enjoyed Why Did Yoda Fight Count Duku? Here, he grants his five year old cousin’s wish to make a movie about Star Wars (using cousin’s art work, story and voice). Okay, so maybe it’s not about Star Wars, but really…does it have to be? (If you answered “yes,” you have no soul, by the way)

There is also a whole series of short animations featuring Sean and a character based on his best friend Tony. Great dry humor. A favorite:

Sean has so many other fun projects that I promptly got sucked into his website, clicking and clicking, until I had no idea where the time had gone. I look forward to seeing more by this talented guy.

Go check out more on his website, or Youtube channel.
