Stealing Time Itself

Analog shift is the premiere reseller of vintage and pre-owned watches in the world. As part of their larger rebrand, by GrandArmy, I was asked to create a short animated film as the capstone to the rebrand. Working closely with the branding team's vision and strategy, we came up with this short heist film that centers around a time team. With their commitment to all things analog, the heist team must work together to steal time itself from the evil Chrono Corp. For this project I was the design and animation director, responsible for everything from character design, background art, color palettes, storyboarding, rough animation, cleanup and color, as well as overseeing a team of very talented animators.
