Welcome To The Hive

These graphics were created for a video that parodies service apps (such as Hany or Taskrabbit.) The project relied heavily on graphics to tell the audience how to feel towards this corporation. I developed the brand identity for

BuzzGrind in collaboration with the comedian Django Gold. I wanted the brand and interface to feel obnoxiously cheerful and also corporate. The mascot Buzzy, is supposed to be menacing. The juxtaposition of our sleazy bee against the otherwise very

generic corporate graphics were meant to make the viewer feel uneasy. I designed and animated all the elements for this project using Illustrator, Photoshop, Cinema 4D/Redshift, and After Effects

Creating BuzzGrind

My process for designing Buzzy and the various Sister Apps was really free-form and fun. The writer really just let me run with these.

One page from an early storyboard I developed. This was my first pitch of the design, it also helped us establish a visual timeline before the script was final.

Transitions created to be sprinkled throughout the video. Skills: Modeling, rigging, character animation, rendered using Cinema 4D and After Effects.
