A Smashing Christmas Dinner

Ganondorf invites some friends over for a Christmas dinner, but things don't go quite to his liking.

This was an idea some family and friends and I had for a while, and since Christmas was coming right around the corner, I figured I'd try and get it started and completed by then. And I managed to! The quality's not really on par with some previous works of mine, but I wouldn't have been able to get it done in time otherwise.

Mick the Mercenary: The Rescue

An innocent girl is taken hostage, and it's up to Mick the Mercenary to rescue her!

This initially was just going to be a little promo to help raise awareness of Mick the Mercenary: The Movie, but ended up being an abnormally huge project that took me longer than anything I've ever worked on in my life. Enjoy!

2018

Madness Frankfurterfication

The hot dog guy from Madness Combat gets his time to shine in the spotlight in this Madness fan animation.

Krinkels's animated Madness Combat series was one of my favorite things growing up, and even to this day I still love it. This is my little addition to the Madness universe, released for Madness Day 2018.

Mick the Mercenary: The Movie

In a world filled with chaos, Mick the Mercenary, a self-employed hit man, is visited by a nearby US military veteran, Chester the Combat Vet. The two form an alliance when the leader of a mercenary compound offers a position for the two to assassinate a list of bounties. As the newly-found associates accept the position, Mick and Chester soon realize they have agreed to more than they bargained for.

A couple of years ago, I created a channel where my homies and I could just do whatever we felt like doing, "Mick the Mercenary". It later became a--primarily--flavor-reviewing channel, but at some point, I felt like making a movie about the characters the channel revolved around. Thus, Mick the Mercenary: The Movie was born. Enjoy the VFX and aluminum foil grenades!

2017

A Hearthstone Battle

​Jaina and Gul'Dan have a Hearthstone match, and we get to see what it looks like!

I wanted to make an animation about one of my favorite games, so this was the result. It was a very large and time-consuming project, but I had tons of fun with it and I'm elated that it's finally finished. Hearthstone/Warcraft fan or not, I hope you enjoy!

This is my first video rendered in 4K, which I have to say, was kind of a nightmare to do; it also kind of ended up chopping up a few of the shots for some reason, and no matter what I did to try and fix it, it did not. Ah well.

SPOILER ALERT: Gul'Dan does in fact take 29 damage before he plays the Dread Infernal. See if you can calculate it all!

2015

Office Language

The angry little words used to substitute the ones not permitted in the office environment.

This was written and voiced for over a year before the actual animation started. It was just taking so long for one of the many larger projects to be published, so I figured I'd finally bring it back out and get it out there to hold some people over.

2014

Civil Unrest

Two civilized chaps have a fancy, gentleman's game of chess.

Probably my last ever live-action film... Saminat was over and we wanted to make SOME sort of skit before he left, and this is what we came up with. Camera work by my brother Jon.

An Animal Crossing Tale

Someone in the village goes a little too far when denied of the assistance of their chores...

This took forever, but it was a nice feeling when it was finally finished. I tried to make another good, lengthy video that people would really enjoy. Animal Crossing (GameCube one) was always a huge part of me and my childhood, and I wanted to make a cartoon starring some of its characters in a little nerve-wracking, yet lighthearted adventure.

10 Amazing Life Hacks You've Never Seen!

Here are ten amazing life hacks that you've never heard of before!

This was a fun little live-action project I did mostly because I got a new camera and tripod. I thought I'd try out some video editing and color-correction effects and see what I could come up with. I have to say, it's quite fun doing live-action videos, but I don't have many more good ideas as of yet, and I'm currently not quite sure how much people would really care for them on an animation channel.

Why Cops Give Tickets

The REAL reason an officer may be giving you a "speeding ticket".

This one didn't take too long to complete, it was a joke I came up with and wrote about half a year prior to the starting of its production. I wanted to see how clean I could make the line-work of and how nice I could color a little short.

Magic Wand Infomercial

There's a lot of helpful products out there; stuff that's used for cleaning, things that cook for you... but how come there isn't anything that does ALL of that, and some? Well, now there is! Featuring the Magic Wand: a product that does whatever you want it to.

This video took way too much time to finish. It was started in the late Summer/early Fall of 2013, but a multitude of other projects got in the way, and it was put on the shelf for a few months up until all that other stuff was done. Looking back, even just a couple of months after its release, I see so many mistakes in the style of drawing, specifically the heads and faces. But it's more clean-looking than most of my previous animations, I guess.

A-Hole In Time

A trigger-happy jerk goes back in time for science. Shenanigans ensue.

This was a project written and acted by Mick "RicePirate" Lauer, and animated by yours truly. I think the writing was fantastic and the voices and audio were put together beautifully, though, honestly, I'm not too happy about how most of my artwork came out in it, looking back. I feel like I could have spent more time touching it up and such... however, both Mick and the video's audience were pretty satisfied with the result, not to mention that it claimed first place of the month of January 2014 on Newgrounds. Overall, it was a really fun cartoon to animate, and it was finished surprisingly quickly. I'll be doing more stuff for Mick soon, so stay tuned!

2013

Sparkle Pom-Pom Squad

An in-depth documentary of the average day of a high school cheerleader.

This was a fun project that began production in the early Spring of 2013, pretty much right after I graduated from my junior year in high school, and was finished and released in early Summer. The whole thing flowed together nicely, I think, but looking back, as usual, I see nothing but mistakes, specifically a lot of the coloring; I feel like it's too vibrant and the shading isn't dark enough at some shots.

Teemo's Birthday

It's Teemo's birthday in the world of League of Legends!

This thing is stupid, and I wish I never made it. It's basically what I like to call a "rebound" animation; you finally finish a super long project, and after you get that nice feeling of publishing it, you want that feeling again, and you're so pumped up that it doesn't take you long to crank out another video. (At least, that's how it is with me). It was really just an inside joke between one of my cousins and I, and at the time I thought it was funny, but now I'm just embarrassed by it. However, at the time I felt that the animation was decently solid and well-colored for the most part. The acting Heidi and Ryan provided was very good, too.

Dual Force

A blue creature and his robot friend get into a little bit of trouble with the Grim Reaper.

This was by far the longest time I've ever spent on any animation to date. It took a total of roughly 8 months or so, partially due to the project crashing and the loss of a lot of its data. Looking at it now, I'm not very pleased with it, I think the animation and drawings are pretty crappy in most of the scenes, and above all, the plot has holes in it. It was supposed to be the pilot of a series I wanted to make, but after all I went through with it, I decided to say "screw it" and leave it as a one-time thing. It has the longest length of any of my other videos, though, so, there's that.

2012

Fake Wedding

What a funny prank.

Just another filler video. I think it took about two weeks to make.

A Word On Halloween

How come Halloween isn't considered a holiday!?

This one was pretty fun and easy to do, as you can probably tell just by watching it; it's pretty much a slideshow. But it's an idea I came up with just a few days before Halloween, so I had to hustle to get it done. Again, it was fun, though.

Anni-May Stars

A battle in the Japanese forest ensues.

A very obvious anime-parody type thing. It was actually really fun and fairly quick and easy to make. My friend Evan and I provided all of the voices, which again, were fun to do. But during its creation, something dawned on me: it was looking a lot like... well... never mind, you'll probably know what it is...

Sandwich

Two guys bask in the beauty of an enormous sandwich that rests in the warm glow of an Autumn evening.

This took like no time at all to make, it's another one of those inside-joke type things. Stupid.

The Freelance Police

Two freelance cops attempt to solve a crime.

This one represents all of the frustrations and rage I had as a younger teenager. Looking at it now, yeah, I regret it, but what are you gonna do. At the time though I do remember it being pretty fun to write, provide the voices for,  and animate. I was experimenting with the characters' faces and such at the time, trying to break out of the whole "golf ball head" thing, though they're still really blob-like. I do like how the battle scene came out, though.

Shy Gays

A parody of video game parodies.

This is another one of those "took one day to finish" pieces of garbage of mine. It was mainly an experiment of how clean and colorful I could make my characters look at the time.

StarNova

Two friends get confronted once more by their arch-nemesis, Kadosa.

Yet another video I regret making. I have no clue what I was thinking when I wrote it. But I think the battle shots are kinda neat to watch. This was the first video I actually tried to use more realistic anatomy and overall improve my styie in.

Generic Skyrim Movie

Dovahkiin has a confrontation with Link up in the snowy mountains.

Just a Skyrim thing, at the time they were really popular and around every corner there was another one, so I thought I'd join in, though at the same time it was sort of a parody of the rest (hence the title). This was the first video I used a drawing tablet to animate.

2011

House of Apparition

Two kids are dared into a haunted house, but soon find out the spirits need their help.

This was fairly fun to make as I remember, it was one of my first "full-length" beginning-middle-and-end cartoons.
