Danke Schoen Ecard

Its a new year! I’ve sadly neglected this portion of my website for way too long. To get back into things I thought I’d share some of my process in creating an animated eCard for American Greetings a couple years ago. I had SO much fun coming up with the characters, choreographing their moves, and collaborating with animators and sound to make it truly come to life. The full animation can be seen here!
