Academy Award nominee: “Best Animated Feature”
2012-2014

I assisted Graphic Designer Josh Holtsclaw with copywriting, texturing, coloring and scaling. Together, we served up “ripe” puns, a “shred” of which Art Director Curt Enderle dubbed “grate” enough!

I designed BG graphics and ran all show GFX fabrication, from art & garment printing, to stencils, to laser-cut prep. Highlights included: Cheesebridge shop signage; the Boxtrolls’ Cavern Clock; Market Square tents; the Red Hat’s mural; the Cheeseguild ballroom floor; and the tiniest record sleeves on record. Developing animatable assets like the Boxtroll Labels — making them hero-quality while flexible & robust for the squash-and-stretch of animation — was a fave challenge.
