Before VFX
Motion design in After Effects from my first years. Everything plays at once; click one to hear it.

Posters, broadcast identity, packaging and web, before the switch to 3D.
Identity
One RV, five ways of making it: render, vector, motion, print and script. Designed and animated for this portfolio.
