Mushka Teaser Poster Ideas


I was determined to hand out some kind of teaser poster at last year's CTN Expo. Well, I did, but not before exploring several visual ideas that would represent the overall mood of the film. Here are some of the outtakes. I am not going to post the two final designs, it makes owning one of the two posters a little more special. (on the poster there is a tag line missing, because I haven't copyrighted it yet.)

As a general Mushka update:
I just about finished work on the story reel/animatic, even though some changes and improvements will happen as production continues. I am in love with this story, it is emotional, exciting (as in action) and funny.
I am extremely thrilled to announce that the one and only Richard Sherman has written a song for the film!! I'll tell you later how this came to be, but I am pinching myself knowing that Academy Award winning Richard Sherman, who cowrote the songs for Jungle Book with his brother Robert, among many other groundbreaking films, is a creative part of my film. As King Louie says: "Craaazy!"
As I am getting into full production on Mushka, I am looking for local LA 2D animation artists.

- Effects animator, experienced or new. But with high standards.
- Inbetweeners, experienced or new. But with high standards.
- Animators, experienced or new. But with high standards.
- Interns

If you are interested, leave your email, and I'll contact you. I won't be able to pay studio rates, but I WILL pay independent film $.

  1. Hi Andreas, Great sketches. The first one is surely the most powerful (emotion is always a plus) However there's something that doesn't quite convince me about the girl's left hand (seriously? ME making a comment to ANDREAS DEJA? who the hell I think I am?)
    I like a lot the last one too. The other posters, however beautiful, have less interesting poses. I wish I were younger. I would have given a shot and applied to work on this.

  2. I am a proud owner of the 2 signed posters you handed out at CTN, thanks Andreas.
    It will be a beautiful film for sure.
    Success!

  19. Hi Andreas,
    You have plenty here to choose from that clearly have experience and skills. I thought I'd throw my name in with the rest, because why not? I do not have any experience in animation, however I consider my skill set in the field of art a jack of all trades, a swiss army knife of creativity! I would love to be considered even if in some small way to be a part of your creative team. There may be something that I can offer that no one else can, and if I don't apply, I definitely won't be considered! I currently live in Las Vegas, NV but I have a scanner and access to the internet, could definitely make it work.

  22. Hi Andreas!
    Love seeing the updates on this project!
    I'm currently located in Glendale, working at Renegade Animation in compositing and animation and would love to be a part of this project if possible! If you needed any help with the post side of things, that's certainly what I'm more familiar with (After Effects), but I'd really like to do some inbteweening if possible (seems like a fantastic opportunity to learn from you!).

    I would be available for freelance, and hope to hear from you! Thank you for your time.

  27. Dear Mr. Deja-

    I was wondering if you are currently looking for a film score composer? I attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, and will be graduating in the summer with a degree in Film Scoring. Here is a link to my page on SoundCloud as well as a link to a recent web series for which I composed the theme song:

  29. Dear Andreas,

    Amazing posters! I have one of the posters that you handed out at CTN. :) I'm currently studying Animation and Illustration at San Jose State University. Over the summer around June and July, I live in Riverside County so I would be able to commute to come help you work on your film. :)
    I'm always looking for new experiences and love facing new challenges. I love working with others as well and would love to learn from other artists who have been in the industry or would like to. I am familiar with working in 2D animation and am currently working on a short film with some other students in my program outside of school. I love doing rough animation as well as clean up. :)
    If you would like to see my work, please email me at:
    shannonpreston@live.com
    I hope the best for your future film and can't wait to see it.

  30. Hi Andreas - I'm a character artist for the Disney Design Group and Disney Parks, doing art for the theme parks in Florida. If you decide to go outside LA and hire someone remotely, I'd definitely be interested in helping with inbetweening! It's been a couple years since I've done much 2D animation, but there is some towards the end of my reel at mattdewater.blogspot.com.

  32. Hello Andreas,

    My mom, Bonnie Robinson (wife of Lenord Robinson, whom you might know), is interested in doing in-betweens for your project. (She doesn't have a Blogspot account, so I'm standing in for her.) She is a veteran assistant animator and has been in the business for 35+ years. She lives in the Thousand Oaks area, about 45 minutes from L.A., and is available any time. You can reach her via email and/or LinkedIn. Here are her contacts:

  34. Mr. Deja,

    My name is Margaret, and I'd like to thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

    Truthfully, I'm more interested in the production and business side of animation, therefore while I may not be able to animate Mushka, I am highly interested in work related to assisting animators in the development of this film and helping spread the word about this exciting project.

    I am an LA-based college student, currently holding a cinema minor and have completed several animation courses and animation projects while enrolled. (My shelf is also stock full of artbooks/how-to-animate books, if that helps any?)

    All in all, I will be happy to intern with the team! My email is marghar17@gmail.com.

    Thank you for your time and consideration!

    Please consider my hat in the ring. I am a trained classical animator who specializes in inbetweening, however I am also accomplished Layout and extremes and maquette sculptor. I am a huge fan of your style of animation and of your work.

    I would love to work with the man who inspired me to be the artist I am today. To work on this project for you would be a dream come true.

  39. Hi Andreas,

    I'd love to be considered for a position as an inbetweener or intern. I am very passionate about 2D animation, and my overall career goal is to make a personal short film like what you are doing here with Mushka. So to be able to work on this film would be incredibly inspiring for me.

  55. Hallo Andreas,
    ich lebe in Ratingen, arbeite als Softwareentwickler in Bottrop Grafenwald,
    und habe bei Animation Mentor eine Ausbildung als 3D Character Animator erhalten.
    Mein Character Animation Reel findest Du auf meiner Webseite
    www.imageneration.de
    Beim Kurs Animals and Creatures habe ich auch viel über die Animation von Tieren gelernt. Mein Creature Reel habe ich aus zeitlichen Gründen noch nicht fertigstellen können.
    Ein wenig Zeichnen kann ich auch, allerdings längst nicht einem professionellem Niveau.
    Ich wollte schon immer an einem Kurzfilm arbeiten, sehr gerne auch an 2D Zeichentrick, und halte Mushka für eine besondere Gelegenheit.
    Ich würde sehr auf eine Antwort von Dir freuen, und zwar an

  71. Hi Andrea,

    I'm currently a student at CalArts. I've been following your blog for years and I was thrilled to meet you at the CTN conference this past fall.

    Animation is my passion and I have very high standards. I'd love to work as an intern/animator on your film! This is my email:
    stine.sn@hotmail.com

    and this is my website:

  72. Hello Andreas,
    First, thank you for this opportunity. I think its pretty incredible that you are recruiting talent this way. I wanted to pass along my work as I would love to join your team. I'll keep it short and sweet.

    I'd be happy to join the team in any capacity and I would be more than willing to work for the experience alone. This is my dream. When you met Eric Larson it changed the course of your life. I'm hoping this opportunity could do the same for me. I'm willing to work hard, endlessly and tirelessly. I know that probably sounds extreme but I figured it was worth putting it out there. For me its not just about having high standards its truly about a love for the process and craft of animation.

    I'm LA based.

    Take care,
    Matt Holt

  76. Dear Mr. Deja,

  77. Hi Andreas!

    Wow, you have so many talented artists vying for these positions, i feel intimidated just commenting! But, I reasoned with myself, there is no harm in trying. I would consider it a tremendous privilege to be a part of your film, whether as an animator, inbetweener, or intern. I have a blogspot as well with my work, but not my most recent as it is freelance. I will ask my employer about posting my rough animation so that you may see it if you get to me (you have a lot of comments to get through, it's completely understandable if you don't!). While I am here, i just want to say that you are one of my first animation idols, and your work, blog, and work ethic continue to inspire me. I had a chance to see one of your workshops at CTN (my first time!) and even though i didn't get to meet you, just being there for your talk was enough. Even though it was a tent full of people, it felt like you were talking to each of us personally, relating your stories and experiences.

    Thank you for reading my comment if you got to me.

  80. Hello Mister Andreas
    First of all let me tell you that you are a huge inspiration to me!!, i love your animations, i love your drawings and of course i love your blog!!! so thanks a lot for sharing all you knowledge with us!! it is truly for me something special.
    My name is Juan Maria, i am 18 years old and i am just about to finish high school (i am in the last semester, finishing this May). Animation is my passion, and it would be a tremendous privilege to me to be involved in your film. Let me explain to you my situation.I wouldnt ask this if i didn’t feel capable of doing helpful and great things. I have never take any formal art clases, everything i know is self learned based on hours of drawing, books, talks, videos, movies, small curses, etc. all because i love art, specially animation. In Mexico animation its just about to be born, but with the current situation of the country it looks ages afar. I know i have the skills, the intelligence, the capacity and the creativity to be valuable and helpful, i am settled, fast learner, and i work very hard until i get things done right. Thats why i would like to ask you to consider me for the position of intern.
    As i said before, i would love to be involved in your film, i would work very hard, and i won’t let you regret it.
    Thank you very much for taking the time and reading this, and thank you for giving us this opportunity.
    Again, thank you very much!
    Your big fan
    Juan Maria Leon

  84. Hi Andreas!

    If you're still looking for interns, I'd like to be considered.

    I'm an Art Center student in Pasadena, studying Illustration for entertainment. I've interned as a graphic designer, and I've recently been looking for production work as I transition into film/animation.

    My passion is to tell incredible stories that entertain and inspire people, and I always work to exceed expectations.

    I may be new to the industry but I'm fearlessly passionate.

  93. Hello Andreas,
    I have been studying animation at De Anza College for a few years now. I really want to work on 2D animation projects. That is my passion. I have been a little down lately thinking that 3D animation the only type of animation jobs you can get now and in the future. But this has brought me a little hope, to get experience being involved in your film! This would be an amazing opportunity to be apart of your film and get this kind of 2D animation experience. I grew up on the films you worked on at Disney, and is what really inspired my love for animation. I would be interested in the inbetweener, animator, or intern position. I currently live in San Francisco, but I am willing to move to the LA area for this. My name is Audra Mikkola, and if you would like to contact me, you can email at birdygirl85@hotmail.com

    Thank you Andreas!

I'm doing, especially, clin up and colouring of the full animation scenes (It's a full animation with cut-out animation, and I make the art of the scenes in full).

    I'm not from the L.A, but I'm can work remotely, if it be possible.

    This is my work with animator at the Animation Program. I can send you by e-mail my work with clin up and colouring if you want to see.

  105. Hi Andreas,

    I am a huge fan of your work and it has been my dream to work on a hand-drawn animated film. Though I have nothing against computer animation, I feel that it is dominating the job market and hand-drawn animation is my forte. It would be an absolute joy to work on your film as an animator, intern, or even an inbetweener. I'm feeling scared just typing this, but I knew I had to try. The problem is I do not live in LA, I live in San Francisco. Perhaps you could contact me and we can figure something out. I am willing move to LA during the summer just to work on the project. Though I don't have any professional experience, I am anxious to learn the business and it would be an honor to work under such a master and learn from other artists. I have taken animation summer courses at UCLA. I would love to help you with whatever it is you need, whether it be storyboarding, character design, etc. I have such a passion for animation that I write a blog of my own. Thanks for this opportunity and I look forward to hearing back from you.

  124. Hello Andreas,

    I was speaking with my good friend and former co-worker David Perez, and he mentioned your project to me--said you may be interested in animators to help you out.

    I would absolutely love the chance to work with you in whatever capacity I can. I graduated from CalArts in 2010 (where I saw you lecture once--loved it, and thank you), and I have since gone on to become animation director at Six Point Harness studios in Hollywood/Echo Park, and have worked for several other animation studios. We've been working primarily in Flash and Harmony, but I miss working traditionally and would love the chance to learn from one of the greats.

  137. Hello Andreas!!

    This is amazing! Thanks for giving us commoners an opportunity to contribute to what looks like an amazing story, not to mention work with someone as influential as you! My name is Tyre Jones and I would absolutely love to join your team as an intern! I live in Long Beach [LA county] and I can free up my schedule to fit whatever your project needs [my only restriction would be my late evening class at CSULB on Mondays until mid May]. I owe so much to you and this blog, especially my taste and ever increasing "high standards" as an artist. Thank you for posting your amazing work and the amazing work of your contemporaries/influences!

    and most importantly, thanks for your time and consideration!

  151. Doing traditionnal animation has always been my dream! I would be ready to dedicate my whole life just to see it shine like it used to do.

    I'm actually working on the 4th season of Disney's ''Jake and the Neverland Pirates'' as a character animator.

    Before Jake, I did a bachelor degree in 2D traditionnal animation at Laval's University in Quebec, Canada. My graduation short film ''Voyage'' received a mention at the annual school ceremony and was nominated in ''Best Internationnal Student Movie'' at the ''Sommets de l'animation'' festival in Quebec City. You can watch the movie on my website here (followed by my demo reel) : http://raphaelanimation.com/portfolio-animation.html


    I'm so passionnate about 2D animation and I don't care about the position you may have for me... I would just be happy to be part of a traditionnal feature.

    Well... I'm talking so much! Let's just conclude this e-mail by few links :
