Netflix, We the People

In 2021 I was a member of the production team for the Episode “We the People” of the Emmy award winning animated series “We The People”, in collaboration with Janelle Monae, Barack and Michelle Obama, and directed by Oscar winner Everett Downing Jr. As one of the primary designers, I had a hand in most every part of the project including style frames, character design, visdev, animation concepting and storyboards. Everett had a vision of a paper cut world and we wanted to take that vision and create something that not only felt like paper but had a dimensional quality beyond the 2D flatness of paper. Relying primarily on 3D + shaders and selective cel animation we developed this paper cut world set in motion to the sound of Janelle’s voice.
