Past Work
Sectoons Training Series
This series was a 48 episode series. Each video was around 1 minute in duration. I assisted creative management in communicating with character artists and voice actors. I then animated the characters and edited the videos.

This series of 24 videos was started by another motion graphics designer. I learned the aesthetic from the designer and animated the rest of the series.
