gerstburst.bsky.social @gerstburst.bsky.social · 15/04/2025It’s Tax Day! I finished this scene for Sundays a while ago, but waited to share it today in honor of my favorite accountant, my dad, working hard at Gerst Tax Service. You can spot my uncle, grandpa, and a few employees in the shot. #taxseason #2danimation #animation #toonboomharmony #indieartist 000
gerstburst.bsky.social @gerstburst.bsky.social · 11/03/2025I saved this scene for tax season - commemorating a memory of my my favorite accountant forcing me to be a responsible adult. #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm #taxseason 031
gerstburst.bsky.social @gerstburst.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Sped up: 45 minutes down to 90 seconds! In my last post, I mentioned that animating hair and highlights on hair are some of my favorite things to do. My other favorite thing is animating water! #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm #animator #newyorkartist 041
gerstburst.bsky.social @gerstburst.bsky.social · 22/02/2025One of my favorite things to animate is hair / highlights on hair. I always save it for last so I have something to look forward to when finalizing character moving or the final color for a scene. #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm 050
gerstburst.bsky.social @gerstburst.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Title sequence ✅ You can buy vintage tax booklets on eBay - look closely at the BG! I got my creative start drawing on top of these booklets at my dad’s Gerst Tax Service office ❤️ #taxseason #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm #animator #compositing 010

gerstburst.bsky.social @gerstburst.bsky.social · 08/02/2025I animated this shot a while ago, but it needed some updates to match my film’s final look! #chickens #animatedcats #catsofbluesky #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animatedfilm 040
gerstburst.bsky.social @gerstburst.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Figuring out the final look of a film can be hard! I cut together all of my tests for the first scene! The last clip showcases the final look and feel for the film! #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm 010
