Animatic Editing
Tea Leaves Last
As one of the editors for the animatic pilot "Tea Leaves Last" through Asians in Animation's (AIA) Pilot Pre-Production Program (4P), I volunteered my hours working on the timing of these segments. I also performed audio editing to clean up dialogue and integrated sound effects using Audacity and Adobe Premiere Pro. Additionally, I also worked on the official trailer. The program is a way for emerging creatives to practice their talents and industry ready skills, and for AIA to promote new talent and provide education & mentorship.

On The Way
Last Summer 2022, Lawrence Folsom, Franco Reviglio and I formed a team to participate in Story Xperiential with Pixar Animation Studios wherein we learned how to develop a story the Pixar way. I also assisted in storyboarding some panels near the end of the program.
Our story is called "On the Way" featuring Bob, a balikbayan box who tries to find his way back after getting lost in the airport.
Balikbayan is composed of two Filipino words. In English, "balik" means "return" and "bayan" is "country."

I spearheaded the development of the podcast's branding and design concept, ensuring a seamless representation of its vision and ambiance. Additionally, I executed a comprehensive range of graphic elements, including logos, short animations, posters, and social media designs, contributing to the overall visual identity and success of the project.
