Working at MTV in NYC

Had the amazing opportunity to work with a talented group of people. We worked together to make the promos, teasers, advertising, social and other elements. 

The 3D elements were made by other animators.

My role was to help make other animations for promos, teasers, Time Square and Penn Station Billboards, working with their color, type and footage. 

I helped rotoscope the artists
Used After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator. 

I'm ready for next year! 

Working at MTV in NYC

I was able to work on many of the shows that are played on MTV, and Siesta Key is one.

I helped with some After Effects - making Toolkits and helping with effects + versions + Tune Ins + Renders.

Working at MTV in NYC

The concept of this design was already done when I started working on this. Some elements were created in 3D and had to be redone as 2D - which was my role. 

I helped get this project together through the launch special, end pages, 1515 (for the screens in Time Square, NYC) as well as working on the Typography, movements, and effects. 

Programs I used:
After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator.

Working at Sibling / Rivalry in NYC

I was put on at the end of this project to help the designers and editors get it out the door.

Things I helped with:

1. Photo Editing
2. Photo Rotoscoping through Photoshop
3. Fixing timing
4. Helping certain scenes with Masks
5. Renders

Programs I used:
After Effects, Photoshop & Media Encoder.

Working at Trollbäck + Co in NYC

Another designer and I were tasked to come up with some design ideas and animations for Citi Bank.

This was to be shown at the Fulton Street stop in NYC, with many different screen sizes.

These animations are on still images - from what the team showed the client.

*This is only the begening of the design and animation. Not the final product. This project was delayed after I worked on it, and another designer/animator took on the final aspects of the Citi Bank project.

Working with Method Studio in NYC.

A little project to come up with some new design ideas for Hershey.

No animation, just design work.

Programs used: Photoshop

There was talk of animation possibilities but I did not work on them.

Working with Method Studio in NYC.

Ally Bank needed a quick 4 second animation for online commercials.

They wanted it specifically to have and written type, and to have it go in and out of the "ally" logo.

I worked with IFC Networks under AMC for 6 months in 2016.
I helped another designer to create Snipes, Movie Trivia's, Title Cards, graphics for the shows among other things.

It was an incredible experience.

Work In Progress

working on an animation with a song from MIKA with inspiration from Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth.

This Redlining Map of Chicago is for a PBS series called "Black Folk Don't".

This is a brief animation to demonstrate the Redlining.

Redlining was coined in the late 1960s by John McKnight, a sociologist and community activist. It refers to the practice of marking a red line on a map to delineate the area where banks would not invest; later the term was applied to discrimination against a particular group of people (usually by race or sex) irrespective of geography.)

Title End Cards for the TV show, Pitch Slapped on Lifetime.

I helped with the Camera Angles and movement along with switching out time and day.

GenX tells the evolution of the anthropological and social status of people born between 1961 and 1981.
I worked along side with other designers and animators to create this.

I helped with the Camera Moves, Graph, Handwriting / Text, Lower Thirds and switching out clips.

This is the Lower Third I created for the Gen X show

2015

Working at BigStar Studio, this was already created.

When I came along, I helped research and put together symbols and background patterns. I helped animate and switch them out as well as worked on some of the typography and tune ins. I helped clean it up.
 

My friend Adam designed this and I put it together as an animation.
He's an artist as well as a world traveler and wanted something for his blog!
