Many times people ask me what is the process that goes into creating of Ford or Lincoln advertisement pieces, that get produced with high budget for millions of people to see. Well, I will tell you something about that. Usually we hear about something new coming down...

This is my latest project – A prototype of two animations for Lincoln Wishlist I did to show vendors what is that we’re expecting from this unit. For the 1st animation, I’ve used the 3D Parallax technique to animate in After Effects. I was provided 1...

I am working on a bunch of Ford Summer Event online media units. You can check an early animation prototype below. A fun project to do, especially when also designing a 2016 Lincoln Summer Event and all other online media (and there’s a LOT of it). The worst...

I know I promised I won’t be posting many of my day-to-day work-related designs / units, but this one is important. Why, you ask? Well, because it’s entirely done in H5, as opposed to Flash (which is dead, dead, dead). We still don’t have...

OK this is definitely NOT something I would usually put in my portfolio at this point in my career. So, let’s just say that the significance of this post is that I’ve taken something old and re-designed it to something new. Also the animation is amazingly...

Honestly, I love animating in flash. It’s about subtle movement, easing, elegantly slowing images down and paying attention to artistic elements of it. I am a modest guy, but I’ve never met anyone else who is THAT detail oriented as I am when it comes to...
