In 2023 I was hired by weezer to do a bunch of illustration and animation work for their Indie Rock Roadtrip tour visuals (which are displayed behind the band while they perform). All this work was directed by Brad and Brian Palmer at SRND Studio in Brooklyn, NY.
In this reel I tried to only highlight the animation work that I did. In some cases this includes recreating a simpler version of a shot from the show to provide context for the animation, and to not show other people's work. You can watch the show on YouTube, to see all the various ways the talented motion graphics designers and animators at SRND plussed my illustrations and added their own elements to make a killer show. I also included a few animations that I created which were not used in the show, seen here for the first time!
This show was such a dream project for me (weezer is my favorite band)! I learned a lot by animating all kinds of different things (lots of effects, a few characters) and using different techniques (hand-drawn, motion tweens, rotoscoping).
I don't have the rights to put any weezer music under this, so you'll just have to turn up your favorite weezer song while you watch this!
