Experimenting with time displacement (in honor of 2020!) Many thanks to Kyle Hamrick and ECAbrams for inspiration and skillful 'splaining of how to understand and use displacement.

Thank you School of Motion and Traci Brinling-Osowski for this super fun opportunity to be part of a whole.

Halloween promo for Pumpkin Spice coffee, an animated adaptation of a static ad. Had some fun with puppetry, squishy lettering and lighting. Tools used: Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Audition, Trapcode Particular.

A virtual fly-through coffee fields in Honduras growing for San Francisco Bay Coffee's single origin Private Reserve line. This is a study of parallax motion using only still photos that have been sliced and cloned and layered in 3D space to give the illusion of a camera flying through a real scene. The chameleon was animated by being cut out of a still photo, rigged as a "puppet" and manipulated to fake eye and body movements. Tools used: Photoshop, After Effects, Audition. This was So. Much. Fun! : )

Stop motion-style promo for Mariani Nuts. Tools used: Photoshop, After Effects, Animate (Flash), Audition. Many, many, many photos by Gordon Lazzarone.
