The Grio: Juneteenth Special
james hemings
Working with the Californian Post production company
PostScript Creative, I designed, fully illustrated, and then animated scenes to be incorporated into The Grio's "Juneteenth: Celebrating Centuries of Black Excellence," per PostScript's direction. The brief's direction was for the illustrations to be inspired by QUEEN CHARLOTTE: A Bridgerton Story and with a short turnaround time.
Below are the character design concepts, Styleframes, final background illustration and explorations, animatic, and some of my favorite assets from the piece. All designs had to have some historical accuracy. Sc-1 was adapted from Jefferson's Monticello home, while Sc-2 depicts a stylized look into the Monticello kitchen where Hemings worked.

Working as a freelancer with Casual Films over a span of a few months, one of my favorite projects was collaborating with multiple editors and animators, to create animations for multiple global corporate onboarding videos for the Yum! — a parent company to KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, etc. Within the already established direction, I animated one of these videos entirely to myself called Great Listener, one of the client's favorites.

Brand guidelines.

mickey & minnie: volume one
I conceived and implemented an Infinite Zoom social media post for Disney's Volume One rerelease. Utilizing a 3D space, I rotoscoped and retouched all the characters and background elements taken straight from their original animations before compositing them into the final scene. For the intro, I separated/retouched all the limbs and layers of Mickey & Minnie from a static image before Rigging with DUIK. Below is a compilation of some characters used in the final animation.

Capitol one: pre-roll animation
A recurring job with ONESIXTY/NINETY for Capitol One sports streams. The package usually includes a 20+ minute pre-roll, Multiple lower thirds, animations for commercial spots of all collaborators, and intro + outro animations. The 20+ minute pre-roll file was templatized by me; specifically planned to allow easy updates for the client's changing preference on QA looping amounts (that wouldn't affect any animation timing) and quick QA text changes for each new sporting event.
