Tiny Attic Productions

Tiny Attic Productions We are a multimedia production team based in Columbia, MO. We specialize in video, animation, market

Our work began after a creative spark in the attic of one of Columbia, Missouri's ramshackle rentals back in 2012. While still based in our hometown, our multimedia production company now services clientele worldwide. Our in-house team handles everything from conception to ex*****on on marketing, branding, filming, editing and scoring. Our true passion lies in documenting real lives, real moments

and real stories in the form best fit for the subject. The opportunity to tell their stories and carry out their visions has enriched our lives in ways we never could have imagined. It is a privilege to do the work that we do and share it with you all. We work with innumerable collaborators who have inspired and enabled us to continue on our path. Although our crew is tiny, our dreams are big, and our thanks are endless.

Last year, I started writing a short screenplay for a Midwestern Gothic adaptation of Rip Van Winkle. It's very different from the original - my version of Rip is a cryptid hunter stalking an ancient giant sloth in Missouri. The project may never see the light of day, but here's an excerpt from a scene where an intoxicated protagonist comes within inches of catching his dream monster:

"Rustle, rustle. Stomp, stomp. Rustle, rustle. Stomp, stomp. The slowest pursuit in the history of mankind ensues.

The man falters out of the brush onto a stone beach. The moon’s reflection in the river illuminates his surroundings like a midnight sun. Panting, he removes the night vision goggles and spins wildly around, squinting to see how he could’ve misplaced his prey. Out of sight, two eyes glint in the reeds behind him."

[There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck;
Steer away from these rocks;
We'd be a walking disaster.
Just 'cause you feel it doesn't mean it's there]

People are places. Places are people. People are songs.

Thanks for the graffiti!

[In a way, the meaning of tomorrow's history is not what people think. It is a struggle between creation and the inquisition. Whatever the price artists will have to pay for their empty hands, we can hope for their victory. Once again, the philosophy will dissolve above the dazzling sea.]

- Albert Camus

Some old words make me feel strong, as well as weighed by all we know now. Just keep getting stronger

A gentle reminder to breathe and enjoy the tiny things around us.

I did all my work this evening out in my backyard and simultaneously filmed a timelapse of our healthy dandelion crop taking their regularly scheduled rest til the sun returns tomorrow. One and a half hours compressed to a 15 second loop. Thanks for being my soundtrack while filming.

Hearing other artists share their stories is the best way to be inspired to get back to work on your own ideas. Thanks and for the much needed inspiration! Here's an old character mock up from a (still) work-in-progress graphic novel. Now, back to the drawing board.

It's been a while since I've shared anything because we've been busy on a new animated music video for ! Here's a character WIP that was particularly challenging for me. Since I don't have actual wolves to study, I referred about two dozen videos of wolves howling from different angles to get the head turn the way I wanted it. A lot of folks talk about how long the animation process takes, and it's true - sometimes you spend 3 days working on what ends up being 3 seconds of video. I also tend to spend many hours researching reference material because I love being inspired by real people, places and creatures. This particular character will end up being composited into a scene with many moving parts. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!
