How does one add motion to random shapes, text and images and make it look good? Not sure. If you figure it out, please send me a message, otherwise, take a look at my sorry attempt at such motion.
Isolated Recovery
I produced this video for a corporate client meant to be seen by clients. I also edited, designed and animated the motion graphics as well as used my VFX techniques to tie it all together. This was made with After Effects, Premiere and of course the classics, Photoshop, Illustrator and good ol' fashioned pencil and paper. You'd be surprised how useful a good sketch really helps. Also, sourcing was done mostly by me.
best of times, worst of times
Picture this. You are working on a powerful video for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and you are almost done with the edit, but realize there are no graphics. You have very little time so you need to bring someone in who can deliver. Who do you bring in? Why me, of course. I hit the ground running on this project. The other thing I'm more passionate about than Animation is humanitarianism, so I threw my passion into this. It turned out fantastic. Thanks to the team at VICE for letting me be a part of it.

One of the many animations done for the documentary The Legend of Swee' Pea. It's a heartwarming story of a brilliant basketball player, Lloyd Daniels, and his unfortunate fall out of fame. If you get the chance please watch it.
THRILLIST STUFF

This sample represents a smorgasbord of things I did while at Thrillist. I started off doing animated outtros similar to the Explorers logo you see here. They got more and more complicated and more and more detailed. About 70% of those were conceived and produced (meaning actually DESIGNED & MADE) by me. Then we worked on larger more complicated projects such as the wonderful Malt Liquor and Hip Hop. For those I played a central role as lead animator and/or art director. The Innov8ers project with Microsoft wanted a custom animated intro and graphics with only a couple days to do it. And it was done.
keep an eye out. more soon.
