About Me

My photo
Allen Park, Michigan, United States
I am Anthony Powers, a professional animator. Seeking self expression, I carry my soul through space and time. Stumbling about, I come across some picnic baskets and lollipops. Taking a chance, I peek into their murky depths. Using passion as my vehicle the world opens its arms.

Animations for WDIV

Here are a couple animations I have been working on at WDIV, there is no sound, other people will add that before it airs.



For a segment on the morning show called "It's So Hot Out"


For a segment featuring Brandon Roux called "Tasty Tuesday" I also directed him in the WDIV studio to act out the faces shown during the animation.


Another animation for "Tasty Tuesday", this one didn't get used because they thought it was too creepy.

This Is What I Do In My Free Time


Just a picture I drew, I used the photoshop skills I'v been learning for the background, heh.


I drew the letters and arranged them in photoshop. Everybody was coming in with ideas for a new design for the Vote 4 The Best Detroit campaign and I didn't want to feel left out. Although I don't think this is quite what they were looking for!

A character I designed using the letters from the Vote 4 The Best slogan.

 A new twitter banner for the Flashpoint page. Devin wanted his updated picture and they didn't like my previous background because they couldn't tell what it was.


A background I created for a Tasty Tuesday animation I'm working on with Brandon Roux.

WDIV Election Stuff and Hour Detroit Poster

Here is a poster I helped put together for WDIV. I created the "BEST" logo, typed all the text, and rearranged the page to make sure everything fit.




Here are some lower thirds I did for all of the upcoming candidates for mayor, city council, and police commissioner. I also created their question cards.

WDIV Day Three


Today I worked on the Sunshine Awards web background, I cut out the updated images of the news anchors and replaced them with their old pictures. I used the burn tool to make the images pop more.

And here are the IPhone images I created yesterday being put into a commercial spot.


I also put the main pictures in these frames and created the text overlaying them.

WDIV Assignments 2

Today at WDIV I worked on making mock IPhone pictures. I used a template for the various buttons and bars, found pictures online, and edited the text to fit a generic news theme.


Created this entire image from scratch using basic images on the WDIV server, Google, and an IPhone template. I found generic news stories to put in the columns.

Took an ad out on the bottom and created the "Sunrise 5:55 AM", matched it with the other text and added the sun beside it.

Created bars, buttons, and text while removing an ad from the bottom.
