PROJECT
Character Illustration and Other Drawings
Bringing humor and personality to celebration. This project involved creating a cartoon animation of a retiring executive, adding charm and a touch of silliness to an already creative video.
CHALLENGE:
The goal was to honor a respected leader while keeping the tone light and engaging. The producer’s abstract video was already finalized by the time I received it, and I was tasked with animating the vice president from supplied footage.
SOLUTION:
I illustrated multiple expressions—eyes open and closed—to capture the executive’s personality and subtle gestures. The producer then animated these illustrations in sync with the speaker’s dialogue. The result was a playful, engaging portrait that elicited laughter and delight during the retirement event.
