East End Project aka King Ursa, hired me to animate a pilot episode for Shopify Studios’ new web series—New Money. Working with a brand new team, strategy and animation style, we quickly rallied to create 12 episodes to finish the season. Involved from start to finish: Concepting, Storyboarding, Animation, Sound Direction and Design, Editing.
Fast forward a year later, the series won in The Telly Awards, under Online Series.
