Motion Designer / Photographer / Digital Artist

The purpose of this project was to create a series of 4 Playful Network ID animations (5 seconds each) to demonstrate the playfulness of both Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. This exploration was a chance to sharpen my animation, design, and technical skills in Cinema 4D, After Effects, and the compositing integration of the two. Exploration 2 from my Motion Design Animation II class taught by Joe Russ at Ringling College of Art + Design.
