Short Film Pitch: Fishy

Art Direction, Concept Art & Look dev.

Fishy was a short film pitch that 5 colleagues and I at Animal Logic worked on during some down time at the studio. The pitch was comprised of a 2.5 minute sizzle reel which featured animation tests (done in blender), character designs, sculpts, surfacing tests and concept art.

I art-directed the pitch with Timothy Morrow. Gibson Radsavanh was our character designer and Jessica Sommerville sculpted the characters.Rebekah Jackson wrote the script. Thanks to Sabri Badri and Brian Baxter for surfacing tests as well.

Emma Mulholland on Holiday

Illustration

Engaged in two dynamic marketing campaigns for Emma Mulhulland On Holiday, the initial project involved a creative partnership with Vans. The objective was to craft a whimsical illustration portraying water cascading realistically from the shoe.

I also contributed to the launch of Emma Mulhulland On Holiday's inaugural eyewear line, the rendezvous collection. The challenge was to channel the nostalgic vibes of retro airbrush techniques that was used to depict many soft drink advertisements in the 80s.

Kangaroo Beach Design (2019)

I served as a designer for the debut season of the preschool series Kangaroo Beach. My tasks encompassed creating character turnarounds, prop designs, and environments for the show. Later on I served as a storyboard revisionist and then art directed the branding for the show.

Character Vehicle & Prop Design

Due to budget constraints, there were limitations on the number of revisions allowed for modeling, necessitating precise and detailed design sheets to ensure accuracy from the outset. I worked under the guidance of Art Director Darren Keating, a former Disney artist.
