Art Coordinator

In the beginning of 2019, I was asked to join the team producing a small independent movie based on Marcel the Shell, who I knew from the adorable YouTube shorts.

To introduce us to the project, some of the new hires and I were invited to watch the animatic. It had no animation, no visual effects, the roughest of rough storyboards, and no music, not even a temp track.

We all bawled our eyes out. We knew we were about to work on something special.

Stockpile Room

While on the show, I also got opportunities to design some of the sets that needed to be created. I put a lot of effort into getting the Stockpile Room right. I knew it wasn’t just a place where I could shine, but the art team who executed it as well.

Set Builder

This pseudo-Lady Gaga music video features some great abstract sets. As a set builder, I got to plan out and build a lot of the geometric platforms and shiny sets. We had fun pushing the shape design… and the glitter.

Art Assistant

Directed by PES, the Honda PAPER Ad Campaign was an experience unlike any other. As an Art Assistant, my responsibilities included managing the “paper trail”: hundreds and hundreds of printed pages, cut up and used as individual frames for this meticulously paper-crafted video.
