Yesterday I visited the the  team at Animation Dynamics to check on the progress of the Persephone project. As usual, I was very impressed. Sean Hutchinson, Animation Dynamic’s Producer, was kind enough to document the process and take many photos as I stopped by each station. Creating the world around Persephone is no easy task. [...]

The Mark Miner and the Nike Free XT Quick Fit+ video was a very educational and creative project that Midu Creative hired me to edit together. Nike Women’s Facebook page describes the video wonderfully. “A Nike footwear designer’s work is never done. Case in point: Mark Miner and the Nike Free XT Quick Fit+ . [...]
