this popped up in my recommended and i absolutely lit up. monkey rag was one of my favorite animations to watch when i was a younger animator, and even now, i don't really dabble in animation often, but the sheer amount i had been inspired to learn by videos like that was insurmountable.
AT LAST! Your first demo reel in over five years is complete! I remember seeing you work on the rough pencil animation of the reel's intro about a year ago, but then I totally forgot. Thank God for the UA-cam bell for letting know that the finished product met my expectations of greatness! It was terrific seeing some of the new stuff you've done in-between your 2016 reel and this one, including the beautiful 2D sequence from "Legend of the Reindeer", easily the highlight of that special.
Oh man, I got a FB "look back" notification today that a year ago today, I posted my demo reel intro pencils.. 😬 But thanks for the nice words that make me feel all squishy inside!
Amazing demo reel Joanna! Monkey Rag is still one of my favorite shorts. Your animations and character designs are a constant reminder of what I hope to one day achieve in my work. Playful, colorful and sometimes cheesecake which you can never get away with in modern cartoons. Not alot of people respect the classics but I'm starting to think that's a good thing. It always the real gems like you to shine the brightest.
You are a rare talent. Please keep on your craft. You show so much love, in the sways, ways and telling story without sound. You are a gift to the art.
@@JoannaDavidovich You are welcome. I saw other animation productions that you were involved in (not knowing that you were involved), and my brain was saying to me, "Wait a minute... This is something I've experienced before..." I'm glad to discover that you were the hidden keystone in this puzzle. Please keep up the great work; you're one to pass on the craft of the previous generation of animation elders now. (No pressure.)
i was going through my old playlist from when i was younger and came across one old favorite of mine " Monkey Rag " and feel in love with it all over again, great work! i decided to see if the account is still active all these years later AND IT IS LOL 3HOURS AGO FROM THE TIME OF ME POSTING THIS COMMENT IN FACT this is great Joanna !
You're so old school in the best meaning! You were my inspiration back then! Now I'm working at animation industry myself and still adore your work! Thank you for this and I hope your amazing reel will serve you well!
0:45 is easily my favorite part of this reel. Or maybe that's just me being a "Star Wars" fan. Either way, I loved this reel. Nice work. From, Aidan DeFrehn.
I've been inspired by you for years, especially by your Monkey Rag animation! Love LOVE how you make your characters look so goofy and fun- that takes real skill and hard work. Be proud of where you are! :)
I just wanted to say hi and to thank you. I came across your website way back in highschool around 2005 and it was a big inspiration to me. It is really because of you I learned about sequential art and have become an artist today. So happy to have found you again and even more happy to watch all your creations again :)
I have been a fan of this channel for many years. I love animation and I love to see people be so amazing at what they love. so thank you for this treat. I know I am five months late, but I just saw this even though I am subbed and belled... I blame UA-cam.
Whyyy haven't producers picked you up yet?? Your work is applicably quality. Maybe you should start a studio and hire assistants, start some fund ups for bigger projects? I'm sure tons of people would love to contribute.
@@JoannaDavidovich Scratches head not knowing who is Karen Taylor. Searches google, where in top result she's wearing a lovely black dress. Cue much smiling :)
Hi Joanna My Name Is Brady Leeds I plan to become a filmmaker and animator one day For Disney Pixar and Fox I have two or three friends Orion Rodriguez And Alex Emenheiser that are in the same future occupation and I know a girl Who is a graphic designer in NY and a songwriter who sings at my Aunt and uncle’s yearly Halloween bonfire I’m trying to assemble a crew based on their talents
Saw new Tiny Toons show. Terrible. It was leaked and I was not entertained. It was like scraping a rabbit with a small blunt knife so hard. The original voice actors NEVER returned, the new voices were horrible, the show was weak, and the animation was bland. It got much worse in middle of episode I saw. Tiny Toons was way better than this college humor version.
Monkey Rag was a huge inspiration for me back in the day! Love your work!

I guess it was your Spidey-sense going off! Glad you came back!
I LOVE Your Original Animation At The Beginning And End So Much Too!! I Want An Entire Show With Your Style.
You're so old school in the best meaning! You were my inspiration back then! Now I'm working at animation industry myself and still adore your work! Thank you for this and I hope your amazing reel will serve you well!
Wow thank you so much!

OMG IT SUMO!!!, from the show i see no one never talk about.
0:50 - Wait! You did this one with Taz? Cus I remember seeing this commercial on UA-cam and had no idea that you did it! c:
Yup! A fun little job with Renegade Animation.
My God, this is beautiful!
2023 is the year I'll start animating FOR SURE!
Me too, but I do work in Los Angeles soon.
@@DennisTamayo Gotta find the time man, even if it's just one hour per week gotta find the time to animate anything!!
Attagirl! Quite the impressive portfolio you’ve built JD.
Thanks kindly!
Gotta say, this is impressive!
This demo reel made me subscribe

Thanks for clicking all the things I appreciate it! But man, what's a girl gotta do to get some respect from that algorithm??
@@JoannaDavidovich Do A little Jig? LOL
You HAVEto tell me more about the guitar-playing Graboid!
That was for "The Ballad of Burt Gummer" for Dead Meat: ua-cam.com/video/sLelnLWxoUg/v-deo.html
This is absolutely LOVELY, but did you mean to upload it in 480p?
Probably not. whoops. 😬
Your animations are amazing 😱😱😱 new subscriber❤❤❤

Simply wonderful. If I could hire you for anything, I would do so in a heartbeat.
Where can I find the Richard Watterson in his underwear video. LOL
Your work is so underrated, keep it up!
Cool
0:23 this part reminds me of The Secrets of Kells. Ever heard of it? It’s like my favorite movie ever
OMG NO WAY U HAVE A VIDEO ON IT BEST CHANNEL EVER
I had designs that weren't so similar to Cartoon Saloon, but the client opted for that direction.
Siiiick!!!!! 👏👏👏👏
Thanks Richard!!! We gotta catch up soon!
@@JoannaDavidovich Next time I'm in town maybe we can get the ole crew together!!

One day well look back at the worlds greatest animator, the way we tear up thinking of Yakko
0:50 You got to animate Taz! Cool.
Well, I got to manipulate a digital puppet of Taz, but still fun!
Joe has worked on cool commercials :)
Where is the shadow girl from 1:19 from? So sleek!
That was an unreleased cartoon for Revelmode about CutiePie Marzia.
Garb work 👍🏻😍🎉
damn u kinda on everything
hi I need some advice on frame by frame animation do you star with the head or body?
Depends on the action- the head and body are both part of the pose. Start with thumbnails if you're having trouble visualizing the acting.
I did not know you worked on the lust lord for Helluva Boss. :O
Been awhile
1:31 was that a singing "Graboid"?
Yes. Yes it was.
id hire you if I needed animations
Whyyy haven't producers picked you up yet?? Your work is applicably quality. Maybe you should start a studio and hire assistants, start some fund ups for bigger projects? I'm sure tons of people would love to contribute.
Maybe! :)
Hey one day I might need to hire you
I'll settle for some subs and shares at the moment. :)
@@JoannaDavidovich ok
@@JoannaDavidovich ok
Magically knows which timestamp will be paused the most. 😇
I was scratching my head until I remembered the Karen Taylor titles... that was a saucy show!
@@JoannaDavidovich Scratches head not knowing who is Karen Taylor.

@@happmacdonald She had a sketch comedy show on BB3 a while ago- I did the main titles. It was a pretty funny show as I recall, very saucy!
Hey buddy next animate Johnny x and super pooch from Johnny test
Oh woah you worked on helluva boss?
Just a couple seconds- didn't have time to do more, wish I did though!

It was just a promo for Cartoon Network, back when I was mostly working on ads and promos.
@@JoannaDavidovich :)
HIRE. THIS. ANIMATOR.

The original voice actors NEVER returned, the new voices were horrible, the show was weak, and the animation was bland. It got much worse in middle of episode I saw. Tiny Toons was way better than this college humor version.
Your Monkey Rag story is way better. The new Tiny Toons did not feel like that at all. You were more fun.
Also, Eric Bauza voiced Buster in the upcoming reboot.
