Buzzkill in 3D?! — Peter Ahern Animation

LinkedIn | Linktree | Vimeo | YouTube | Instagram
Hello! I’m an award winning filmmaker, animator and illustrator based in Brooklyn, New York.

With over a decade of freelance experience, I’ve worked as a 2D animator and director for clients such as Pokémon, the NBA, 2 Chainz, Eminem & Snoop Dogg, Netflix, Showtime, Disney and the X-Games. In addition, my short films have played at a variety of prestigious festivals, illustrations have been both published and featured in prominent gallery exhibitions and I’ve served on several film festival juries.

Recently my film Buzzkill screened at over 60 festivals, winning 12 awards including Best Animated Short at Screamfest, Flicker's RIIFF Vortex, GenreBlast and Woodstock - the latter resulting in an Academy Award qualification. It’s now streaming on Alter and as a Vimeo Staff Pick.

These days I’m available for remote work from my home studio, which includes a large Cintiq, Adobe’s Creative Suite, a grumpy cat and all the necessary file sharing and communication tools.

“Buzzkill” 2024

By Daniel Garza

Acrylic on resin // 5”x4”

Um, you guys - WHAT?! Look at this!!!

When my friend Daniel and I met up last week, he casually handed me a box and said “Hey, I made you something”. As I pulled out this Buzzkill figurine, my jaw dropped. Isn’t it incredible?

This was his process:

1. Digitally sculpt the characters in 3D using Blender.

2. Print out the individual body parts in resin.

3. Carefully hand-paint and assemble everything into this one-of-a-kind piece of art.
