"Cottage Confessions" Ads (Collaboration)
RIT gave me, Sierra Dorschutz, and Siddhant Shah a chance to pitch an animated campaign to Partners + Napier, a creative agency in Rochester, NY which includes Friendship Cottage Cheese in it's list of clients.
Our project got picked up (which was awesome!), and we transformed our initial plan into 6 short ("shareable") videos, cutting real interviews of friends, family, and colleagues with animations of fun characters. We recorded more people (12ish total?), but with the guidance of Partners + Napier, chose the 6 interviews to make into final animations.
This project was so fun: great team, fun concept, and great support from P + N.
Here I'll break down my role in each of these shorts.
The Knight
I designed this character, which was artwork that was part of our pitch.
The Goddess
I designed and animated this character.
The Mobster
I designed and animated this character too! I'm pretty sure this is Sierra's grandfather talking.
The Lumberjack
I recorded the audio here, this was my roommate Sam... and oh yeah, I voiced the deer!
The Dinosaur
I didn’t do too much here, but late in the game I contributed some additional mouth shapes to fine-tune the facial animation.
The Astronaut
I recorded the audio for this guy (I sat with my friend Greg with a handheld audio recorder in a dark parking lot late at night... totally normal!)
