seamless: “we fueled this city”

 
In celebration of its 20-year anniversary, Seamless teamed up with Hornet's Andy Baker and BBH NY to create an epic homage to New York City. The film is scored with a rewritten version of Starship's "We Built This City" more aptly named "We Fueled This City." Packed full of shout outs, Easter eggs and moments that any New Yorker will instantly recognize, this film honors the city that Seamless has been serving through blizzards and blackouts over the last 20 years.

A months-long endeavor directed by Andy Baker, this huge project for Seamless was as fun as it was action-packed. Each shot has as many characters and NYC-specific easter eggs as can possibly fit. This was an experience in collaboration and flexibility; as deadlines approached, every artist involved jumped between shots, characters, and roles—character animation, effects, layouts. Working together, we hit it all.

Personally responsible for character animation from start to 00:10, background character animation throughout, layout edits, and preparing files for comp.
