I was thrilled when Ugly Duck approached me to help animate these anime-style videos for Intel. I loved the challenge of rigging and animating complex characters. I used many tools to get the movements just right.
From Ugly Duck
"We were playing with a super spy narrative in these videos to highlight the superior hi-tech attributes of the new vPro software. We felt that an anime style would compliment this kind of sci-fi retro futurism wonderfully."
