This 6 webisode series for Comedy Central by Avalon Television was a wonderful opportunity to work again with director Nisha Ganatra and editor Eleanor Infante.
Since this project was essentially a pilot and on a limited budget, I wore multiple hats as graphics designer, visual effects designer and compositor. The DAN corporation logo that was used in the DAN video messages was also used on hats and t-shirts by the wardrobe designer.

WHITE FLIGHT / VFX DESIGN COMPILATION
CBS' THE GOOD WIFE just ended their award winning show in 2016 with season 7. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to create the opening main title credits for season 1 and 2 for the show. Sir Ridley Scott wanted a newsprint media treatment since Alicia Florrick is in the public eye.
Season 1 shows Alicia standing by her philandering politician husband, and shying away from the cameras.
The main title sequence was updated for season 2 to reflect Alicia Florrick's rise in her self-confidence and in facing the public eye.
This short film is part of the PBS/ITVS "FUTURESTATES" series.

At Skip Film we wanted to do the whole opening main title sequence, but ended up doing just the main title of the 4 characters and creating the transition from the title into the following scene.
The opening credit sequence was ultimately done by a company in London, but here is a sample of what we were proposing to do for the open. Please ignore the watermarked stock footage.

Axel: The Biggest Little Hero is an animated film on Netflix. The original film was re-titled for the English audience and therefore needed a new title animation. I was given the textless version and created a new logo and animation.

A multi panel video montage was a new medium I had never designed before. So I was very excited to create this 15 second loopable animation across multiple outdoor LED panels on the American Eagle building in New York City’s Times Square. There was cool dance footage to use from the film that made this work to stand out from the sea of billboards around it.
Sadly, I did not get to go to NYC and take these photos. Pictures were taken by the Disney client in 2010.
Produced at Skip Film.
