one of my main jobs on Spider-Man was to develop and create a visual language for the short 2-D animations we called “Burst Cards”. we used them to emphasize hits or big moments, for which I would design and animate new frames to replace footage throughout the film. This one was designed for a moment went Peter Parker smashed his head on a tombstone :)

spoiler alert...one of my main jobs on Spider-Man was to develop and create a visual language for the short 2-D animations we called “Burst Cards”. we used them to emphasize hits or big moments, for which I would design and animate new frames to replace footage throughout the film. These are some of the frames they used for the rooftop scene. The directors ended up adjusting and adding text to some of my frames. Included here, are only the frames I contributed.

One of my main jobs on Spider-Man was to develop and create a visual language for the short 2-D animations we called “Burst Cards”. we used them to emphasize hits or big moments, for which I would design and animate new frames to replace footage throughout the film. Sometimes I would do dozens of iterations. These are a bunch of them - including the final that made it into the film. 

I spent the majority of 2018 developing art for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse as a visual development artist. I contributed a variety of design work, ranging from background and character paintings, to 2-D animation. In addition to my designs I was asked to contribute as the art director of marketing for the film where I directed the films vis dev artists and the CG artists at Sony Imageworks to create art for billboards, commercials, posters, happy meals, blah blah blah…
