A Cup Fills Up - UMIGO

While directing on Umigo I was fortunate enough to get to make what I believe is my best animated piece to date.  It has my love of old animation and funny drawing mixed with a catchy tune and beautiful art direction. It's even educational!!
I remember sitting at my desk working on a different music video's storyboard when David McLees (music director) tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to give his new tune a listen.  All he had was the music and a sheet of lyrics that he hesitated to sing.  I immeatly fell in love with the tune.  My mind went right to the 1933 Merrie Melodies short "The Dish ran away with the Spoon".
