With a well oiled GFX pipeline, my team and I delivered over 1600 graphics for Youtube and TikTok, working hand in hand with Vogue, Den of Thieves, and various teams across Condé Nast to ensure the livestream looked it best... and we got an award to prove it.

Sugar depicts a bleak and hyperactive reality delivered as a narrative/visual interpretation of a track titled Sugar by New York City based electronic music producer Phaseone. The tune itself is a spacey slow-jam, which Phaseone describes as "an homage to the '90s Chicago rap sound of Twista and Do or Die that my friends and I grew up listening to."

And it is." - Sundance Channel "Wonderful! It's both formally inventive and culturally informative." - Peter Rose, artist https://realtalkrealtalk.com/73-QUESTIONS-WITH-KIM-KARDASHIAN-WEST Fri, 09 Oct 2020 16:22:44 +0000 Ryan Powell https://realtalkrealtalk.com/73-QUESTIONS-WITH-KIM-KARDASHIAN-WEST 73 QUESTIONS WITH KIM KARDASHIAN WESTViral Content - 64M views🥈 2020 Telly Awards - Silver Winner for Online General - Talk Show/Interview &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 2020 Webby Awards - HonoreeSafe to say this one broke the internet.

It was a blast to develop the visual style of this series, mixing up a variety of archival images, movie clips, and production stills to reinforce why Keanu is a cut above the rest.

A majority of the elements are controlled by custom expressions, allowing the animation to generate automatically based on a single control layer. The isometric pilars are programmed to react to the the music using Sound Keys. In all, I created 4 different videos for the EP - one for each song. Pick up the track here.

We followed her to the original fitting in LA, then followed the dress to the Balmain offices in Paris for alterations, and back to New York for the big night. After two weeks of sleepless nights, spilling over hundreds of hours of footage from all types of devices, we delivered and published this video the morning after one of the biggest nights in high-fashion.
