given a final approval and ultimately ended up in the final spot. Summer 2012 Advertising, Art Direction, Motion Graphics

A Day in the Life We were asked to come up with a concept for a show package in our Concept Development class. The show: A Day in the Life, which is produced in school that pretty much follows a student from different majors and gives you a glimpse of what they go through everyday.

We worked in groups for this one and I had the privilege of collaborating with Mauroof Ahmed, Jacob Duvall, and Andrew Schoneweis.

I worked on the 3D aspect of the open and the shooting of the models we used in the open.

Here's our 2 weeks worth of work.

Sarasota Film Festival We were tasked to design and animate a :30secs trailer / opening for the 2011 Sarasota Film Festival.

Each year, the Sarasota Film Festival creates a visual campaign for the Festival event (April 8-17, 2011) around a “theme.” Last year’s theme, “What Will You See?”, featured an animated “face” that was built out of photographs and still images taken at the Ringling Museum of Art.
For 2011, they have decided to once again use the “What Will You See?” motto but instead they want to encourage creativity and a unique presentation of our community.

Holiday ID's We were asked to create a series of specialized holiday messages for alternative events and celebrations. The purpose of the Holiday ID is to garner special interest and provide exposure for good causes and annual events. Traditional holidays messages come packaged with a long list of visual clichés and familiar messages so it is important for these alternative holidays to have bold and distinct visual treatments that are indicative of the modern millennium styles.
