Migration

For this spot for Sherwin Williams, my team created some fantastic sets featuring fish, lizards, birds, deer, flowers and butterflies. As a supervisor, I contributed to many parts of the production, particularly the tree animation and the fish transition.

Kaleidoscope

Following more representative sculptural pieces like Migration, above, this was our chance to work on a more abstract and trippy ride through color chip land. With such a talented team of animators and designers, we pushed it pretty far to make a spot that we are all proud of.

River

The story of a lonely sailboat lost in the vast and sometimes ominous wilderness that finally reunites with her friends. I supervised, created the water systems, animated the canyons, and animated some previs shots.
