Nickelodeon: Movie Intro (2020)

Director / Art Director

Directed a cinematic 4k movie intro for Nickelodeon features. It first premieres in front of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.

On this project I evaluated portfolios and hired many of the artists for the project. I worked closely with the animator & editor to come up with the dynamic compositions, camera work and timing. I worked closely with the concept artists and matte painter to land on the final design of the various sets, providing paintovers when necessary.

Since we worked with many remote artists and time was of the essence, I wanted to make sure the direction was clear the moment we kicked an artist off. So I provided detailed reference decks of materials, lighting and texture references for the team.
