Migration

For this spot for Sherwin Williams, my team created some fantastic sets featuring fish, lizards, birds, deer, flowers and butterflies. As a supervisor, I contributed to many parts of the production, particularly the tree animation and the fish transition.

The story of a lonely sailboat lost in the vast and sometimes ominous wilderness that finally reunites with her friends. I supervised, created the water systems, animated the canyons, and animated some previs shots.
