More than a year of work at Buck represented in this reel I made to showcase Facebook’s Alegria style. A lot happened during that year, my wife and I had our beautiful baby Olivia (THE most important highlight of all!!!), Buck moved to a new and amazing place, and I grew a lot on my professional role at the studio. So I’m glad I’m finally able to summarize all these great things in a little and simple reel made with a lot of love. 
Ps: Many of the early animations were made to be run on JSON and KF platforms, with all the limitations that this meant our team came up with some really cool solutions!!

Full project and process here

To launch the new creative think tank at Facebook (aka The Factory), we dug deep into our bag of tricks to reveal how they plan on playing with others at Facebook HQ.

A humble homage to an amazing couple of friends on their wedding and their first anniversary.
