BRIGHT SPOTS OF 2020 - PART 3 OF 3

WHOLE FOODS - PICK UP

Late in 2020 Adam Bolt and I got the chance to direct a stop-motion animated commercial for Whole Foods. This was our first time animating with produce and our first time directing remotely via Zoom.

While we didn’t love not being on set with people, the artistry we were able to take part in by collaborating with the animators, designers, food stylists and cinematographer were really fuckin’ cool.

Here’s some BTS photos taken by the wonderful Matthew Wordell and Aaron Rodriguez.
