In 2022, I was commissioned by Slush Management to make a teaser animation for Porter Robinson's upcoming festival, "Second Sky". The animation was created over the course of 2 weeks, incorporating client feedback along the way. Later, a second lore trailer was requested as well.
CHARACTER DESIGN
To ensure that the client's mascot, Potaro, was depicted as they intended, I first laid out some different options in regards to his design.

LAYOUT
From the rough thumbnails provided by the client, I would start working out the layout and present a few different color options.

ANIMATIC
With the story beats already agreed on, and due to the short time frame, I saw fit to create the animaticĀ and the animation posing atĀ the same time.
