We The People

Set to original songs over various styles of animation, this Netflix series attempts to teach viewers about government and citizenship in a fun, digestible way.

Styled to look like paper collage, this episode highlighted The Bill of Rights. This was a long running project at BUCK, touched by almost every artist at the company. I had the privilege of seeing it through to the end over the last months. The style of animation was very rewarding to work in. Often, we were animating frame by frame to achieve the collage look.

To achieve the paper texture, I crumpled sheets of copy paper, frame by frame, to get a sequence of crinkles. I then imported the paper photos in After Effects, and composited them around the fist to give the illusion that the fist was pushing against the paper background to break free.
