2023 NJNG WORK
Stupid Optical Studios' first client project.


In November 2023, Jackson Television asked Tom to animate part of their yearly entry to New Jersey Natural Gas's "Conserve To Preserve" video contest, in exchange for funding the paper involved in the production.

The direction of the entry allowed for Tom to impart a very childlike look and feel to his animation, illustrating a children's book with pencils and crayons, while also leaving room to experiment with colored light, shadows and, for the first time, an optical backlighting process, haphazardly strewn together with cardstock and some very, very bright lights.

The entry ended up winning the Group Entry cateory, winning Jackson Television $3,500 total in funding.
