Watercolor animation done in After Effects. I wanted to play around with different paint and ink reveals and mattes. I was the designer, illustrator and animator on this project. Music: "Dark Slide" by Black Ant (b-l-a-c-k.tumblr.com/)

Rigging up a faux 3D head using only shape layers.
I wanted to play with a mixed media style animation here, combining photos with 2D illustrations.
This piece was about compositing comps in After Effects.
Animating an abstract concept, the classic dad joke: "What did the acorn say when it grew up?" and playing with morphing shape layers.
Another exploration of combining mixed media, photos and illustrations.
Taking data and turning it into a fun, animated pie chart.
Playing with stacking various comps and effects on top of each other.
Experimenting with a rotoscoping painted look over top of photos and video footage.
