The Story of Maroon and The Story of Gelam are two very simple segments to assist illustrating two important indigenous totem stories for John Wayne Parsons, an amazing singer and storyteller with family from Moa Island in the Torres Strait and Queensland. The story of Maroon refers to the creation of Mt Maroon and the sand lizard Yuggara. The story of Gelam refers to a story about a mum and her son hunting in Moa and eventually the creation of Mer (Murray Island). These animations do not have sound as they were projected behind a live performance.
Going Way Back
The work below includes my student film from Swinburne School of Film and Television in 1988 and other project work that I created at Oddball Animation, a primarily stop motion animation studio making tv commercials. Anthony Lucas and Paul Gehrig were my very talented partners.
