MikeRoweworks 'Sweat pledge' Animations
In late 2018, I was selected to be a part of ASIFA-South's inaugural Incubator Program. This entailed the creation of twelve short stories for the social media accounts of Dirty Jobs star Mike Rowe, on many of which I aided with creative direction, story-boarding and After Effects animation compositing.

We worked for ten weeks in coordination with our commissioner, Atlanta production company School of Humans to create each set of storyboards from the ground up. After that phase of development ended, I joined the compositing team, and focused on placing finished assets (props, characters, backgrounds) into their designated spots and ready to be animated in Adobe After Effects
(ABOVE) - The final Story 12; I was responsible for creative direction and story-boarding for this epic saga of Mike's struggles against a cactus
(BELOW) - Style-frames I illustrated early in development on Story 12
(BELOW) - Storyboards for the reveal of the cactus, alongside the provided script (in bold) and my stage direction notes (in italics)
(LEFT) -The above storyboards played out in both the animatic I put together (left) and the final product (right)
(LEFT) - A quick video demonstration of a scene I did compositing work on, from Story 3. For this scene, I was handed the finished assets, and lined them up, all timed up and ready to be animated. You can see a before/after of the composited scene followed by a clip of the finished animation.
