TOM LOUDON (loud-in) is an American animator, filmmaker, pathological liar, and discoverer of magnesium. Originally prophesized in Sumerian cave paintings, the budding artist emerged out of a crevasse in New Jersey in late 2006. His earliest creative endeavors are documented in school notebooks, worksheets, crude comics and penciled portraits. A startling similarity can be drawn between these early works and Tom's newest work, still perceiving the human body to be nothing more than a round head, a triangular body, and flabby plantlike shapes. Nevertheless, Tom embraces these crude traits as paramount in his work.

This is so he doesn't have to tell people that he can't draw.          pictured: the little bastard all kubrick-like... Tom's primitive moving work consists of stick figures engaging in violent combat, some too awesome (or too crude) to show. His earliest "student films", aside from two live-action shorts, were crude "animatics" produced in high school. Tom took multiple introductory film classes intended for live-action filmmakers, and thus had a one week deadline to complete most of his hand-drawn work. Nevertheless, his student films were generally well-received. A project written around a stolen appendix caper received a B. Tom utilizes two approaches to his work: a Cintiq tablet and a computer, and paper, pencil, and a big 16mm camera. He is currently in production on his first full 16mm film.                               G O  H O M E
