Directed at Art Camp, this Vimeo Staff Pick music video for Bright Eyes’ "Mariana Trench" was created by a global,
18-person collaborative team working entirely in remote isolation during the 2020 lockdowns.

​

Serving as the 2D Animation Director and Art Director, I led a team of eight illustrators and animators to design, develop, and execute the tactile, analog world of the film within an intense eight-week production timeline. To create a highly cohesive, graphic aesthetic across a distributed team, we established a strict set of analog constraints: working entirely with physical ink on watercolor paper, completely omitting the color black, and restricting our palette to highly structured primary tones. I directed the comprehensive look development for the 2D pipeline, guiding the team's output to seamlessly merge with the video's complex 3D environments with characters and found footage.
