    paper Baton Rouge Boo at the Zoo

    Halloween 2024 event at the Baton Rouge Zoo. I was given the task of making a 15 and 30 second television promos for an upcoming event at the local zoo. These promos were due the next morning and I was given the job at 11 am. So I hurriedly illustrated animals similar to the zoo’s branding, created some 3d animated elements, and produced two halloween-styled promos. All while remaining on schedule and completing my other necessary work responsibilities.
