Thought at Work is a student run design conference with a history of great opening sequences.
In 2019, I was approached by the graphics team. They were looking for someone to animate an opening title sequence.

Adjusting for remote work
Halfway through this project, winter break started. We suddenly found ourselves working while in different cities.
My team needed a system to enable us to collaborate while remote, using non-collaborative software. Pre-pandemic.
So we could work together over break, I introduced an “assembly line” asset system to the team. For each scene, someone would conceptualize, hand off to an illustrator, then to an animator.
The file hand-off system allowed us to all work simultaneously plus leveraged each teammate's individual strengths.
