I was hired to animate a short sequence that led up to the production company’s final logo, “SPN Productions”. Using the logo, the company requested that the animation incorporate symbols related to their core business, which is podcasts, books, and feature films. I pitched several iterations and collaborated with the client at every stage of the process (from the initial concept to storyboard and animatic) in order to create the final animation as seen in the video.

Probably the weirdest project I've ever been asked to be a part of. I was given an audio clip taken from an interview with the director Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black, The Addams Family, A Series of Unfortunate Events) telling the story of his first job as a filmmaker: shooting a porno. From my initial conversation with the producer to the final upload, I animated the video in less than 3 weeks. video animator videoeditor Support the channel with a like and comment on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhXN-fD0f2M
