Prepared in Photoshop
Animated in After Effects
I created this album cover art and animation for No$hu's album, Rebel. The concept/imagery was created from a scenario written by No$hu's, designed and painted by me in Photoshop, and then animated in After Effects.
These three scenarios were created based on descriptions provided by the client, and also audio in the case of Aliens and Cereal, as footage to support a documentary.
This direct-to-provider ad was commissioned by the client to communicate branding changes with a bright, fresh tone. The client provided a script and voiceover, and the rest of the spot is my creation. From design, to storyboard, to final render, this animation was made by me under the direction of Happy Trails Studio and Media Partners, Inc.

After the Wellcare spot my client’s client was so happy with our spokesperson character, Chloe, that they decided to use her in two more spots for the Trillium Community Health Plan. Scripts and voiceovers were provided by the client and I created two new spots with the same design and animation language as the Wellcare spot. Created under the direction of Happy Trails Studio and Media Partners, Inc.

My section (starts at 1:13) of this Artful Raven Studio collaboration was animated in Photoshop and composited in After Effects. Assets are Noodler’s Ink on Arches watercolor paper.
My section is the opening dance with the breakdancing ballerina! I was traveling abroad in Tokyo, Japan for work while this collaboration was happening, so I used my iPad as a light table and drew on 3”x5” notecards. I captured the cards with my phone camera, then edited and finalized in After Effects.
