Motion Graphics & Animation

Working with the creative agency Martians and Sons, I created this for the show website and the live pre-show countdown for the TSMC Tech Symposium.

Utilizing some existing background elements, I designed, composited, and animated the entire video in Cinema 4D using Redshift renderer and finished in After Effects and Premiere.

I worked with the CCV Marketing Director to craft the script and then designed and animated the entire piece.

Working with the team at Promethean, I used their existing brand assets and expanded their library to create this aspirational animation. I designed the look and sound and animated the entire piece.

I created this trailer for the online game Influence (https://www.influenceth.io/) as an introduction to the games premise and online world.

I animated the entire piece and built some of the models used throughout. All of the ship models were provided by the game creator to accurately reflect the look of the game. It was created in Cinema 4D using Redshift renderer then composited in After Effects. Final assembly with music, VO, and sound effects was done in Premiere.

Working with original and USAA brand assets and guidelines, I designed and animated this explainer animation.

I worked with the client to finalize and streamline the script, then I designed and animated the entire piece.

Working with Mt. Mansfield Media, I hand illustrated the assets and animated this explainer video about crypto currency as it relates to carbon credits.

This video, the first in a 3-part series, was created to help explain a complicated banking solution for people in poorer regions of the world while taking into account the cultural differences of the intended audience.

I worked directly with the client, presenting each iteration and facilitating rewrites and animation changes.

This walk-in and logo/theme reveal animation was created for the annual Sephora sales conference.

Using the provided edit, I designed and animated the text throughout the video.
