Motion Design

Facebook ads and Presales - WebMD

I updated WebMD’s static social units to align with the brand’s refreshed visual identity, then storyboarded and developed the animations in After Effects. To make the work scalable across brands and products, I documented the animation process and created a step-by-step After Effects template that allowed the final MP4s to be efficiently adapted while maintaining consistent motion, branding, and production quality.

I also supported the presales and marketing teams by creating mp4s that demonstrated how some of the ads products behaved on the page. For the particular product shown bellow we enhanced existing client ads by adding elements that could be used in a parallax animation that started playing on 2 different ad units while the user scrolled the page.

Illustration and 2D animation

Photoshop, Cintiq, After Effects - Speakaboos

While working at Speakaboos as a freelance animator I storyboarded and animated over 80 short linear stories, using artwork provided to me in Illustrator or Photoshop. In rare cases we used existing analog picture books, scanned them in, and cut out elements to be animated. Little Jack Horner is special to me because I also got to illustrate it. The artwork was created directly with Photoshop using a Cintiq, and then rigged and animated in Adobe After Effects.

3D Modelling, Rigging and Animation

XSI Softimage - FIT, Senior Thesis

For my Senior Thesis at FIT, I storyboarded, designed, modeled, rigged, textured, and animated this short movie using XSI SoftImage.

In this wordless story, the characters facial expressions had to express a range of emotions in order to tell a convincing story. I created a complex facial rig for all 3 characters using blend shapes and custom sliders. The hand animation is another example of creative rigging, where the fingers were animated adapting from a leg rig.
