With Hovr, a small team of two animators (myself and Sara Mueller), Storyboard artist Songe Riddle, and additional editor Pablo Reigada - composed a rotoscoped style commercial for a proof of concept.

QUIBI - "Your Daily Horoscope"
Your Daily Horoscope has a unique dynamic with streaming media, by introducing daily cartoon shorts based off real horoscope readings. Ranked #1 show on the App during its run, "YDH" boasts an ensemble cast of misfits in the office life. Leading to great mishaps and moments between these defined characters. As Lead Animator on character 'PISCES' the output weekly is roughly 3 episodes, utilizing adobe Character animator for fast paced turnaround times, and establishing the animated flair of the character.
Part of the fun was animating all characters within our contained episode, allowing me to act and puppeteer every character for any episode. With Pisces being my main focus, others who interact with him yield various triggers and facial animation that differ from pisces giving me a chance to utilize their strengths within their rigs.
Netflix/starburns - "Worst roommate ever"

apple Music - "And Then adverts"
"And Then" is social media series to highlight artists from the Apple Music catalog, utilizing only a voice over and selfie video. The process for this series was condensed within a week, in order to deliver various social media assets.
My role oversaw various staging of production: Storyboarding, Sound/foley design, animation, illustration, compositing and lastly editing. From a voice over transcript, I would conceptualize storyboards, by hand, that were composed from edited audio. Leading into various stages of sound design and editing for an animatic, I would then animate a scene within the team and composite these components into a first pass. After a picture lock, I’d edit the product down into social media “cut-downs” that can be properly uploaded to social media outlets such as; Instagram, Instagram stories, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
