Animation I've Been Up To: Design for IdeaRocket

Over the past 5-6 years, I've been happy to serve as the principle designer, Art Director, and Creative Director for IdeaRocket Animation. During that time we experienced terrific growth, and had some great clients. I've moved on, back to animation freelancing and the fun of designing for kids' show. Here's just a few of the pieces, and design (some used, some unused) that I managed to whip up during that time (click on 'em to enlarge the whole show):

For Venmo...





…based on an animated comic book format. Google it.

 ...a little psychedelia (char. concept W.Gadea).

For a Canadian cracker-maker…

 in the style of the great Swarte…





A couple "puppet show" looks, unused for the spot…




… an urban girl bg that did get used…



 
 A sample look for Verizon.




Some straight whiteboard…








…with a little color













 
Motion Gfx with the great Jacques Khouri.



Some fun traditional character stuff…


…and a little retro traditional.

A cool BG look for a recent gig.

Ending with a combo look for a corporate client…




Most of these full animations can be found on IdeaRocket's Vimeo page, FYI. Cheers, animation lovers! I hope to see you back on children's primetime soon!
