Animated and storyboarded a series of animated shorts for Run the Jewels and Beats1 Radio. Each week was provided with a short audio snippet from their radio show with Killer Mike and El-P bantering about a given topic and their playlist on the show. Each episode was made over the course of 3-5 days and I was responsible for planning out the visual jokes and edits for each episode. Would sketch and edit an animatic in Adobe Animate, provide a detailed breakdown of the asset lift for each shot and then send overnight to illustrators in Amsterdam or Buenos Aires, and then animate/prep their Adobe Illustrator files the next day in Adobe AfterEffects.
