Vilcek Foundation
award announcement teaser headlines
Working with the production company Smartypants, I designed and animated kinetic headlines, tracked scenes, rotoscoped subjects, and incorporated GFX for the Vilcek Foundation’s grant prize winner teasers. Each piece highlighted an individual winner in collaboration with different directors, with text designed to integrate seamlessly into the scenes. To echo the style of past campaigns while introducing new energy, I layered rotoscoping with experimental text animation. For example, in Ramon Tejada’s teaser, I used expressions to connect letter movement in Z-space to the peaks and valleys of the audio. The series was published across Vilcek’s social media channels and website.
