Hello! I’m Dane Zarra. I’m a Brooklyn-based Motion Designer, Illustrator, and Graphic Designer. I received my BFA for Illustration from the School of Visual Arts and completed the Animation Bootcamp from the School of Motion. I like to find creative ways to solve visual problems. I approach every new project as an opportunity to further expand my craft and knowledge. Contact me about your project needs. When I’m not animating, designing, or illustrating, I play music. You can find me lugging around a guitar with way too many effect pedals. My approach is to blend caustic post-punk riffs, synth-like textures, and drone loops. I play in the bands' Oil Bay as well as played in the bands’ Rainwater and Caged Animals. I’ve also picked up the hobby of really good pizza making - which as of now is the extent of my cooking prowess.

    uniE608 CAFE BEIT: promotional video
    I was commissioned by the Brooklyn-based coffee shop, Cafe Beit, to produce a promotional video where I experimented with C4D, DUIK, and extensive sound designs. The narrative structure of this promotional film begins with a cup of coffee and builds up with the coffee God's approved tasting. I created the intro with Cinema4D.
