PROJECT TITLE

The Parlors

OVERVIEW

A cinematic experience narrated by Jamie Bell inside the historical home of artist Thomas Cole.

PROGRAMS AND TOOLS

After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator

THE APPROACH

We brought to life the home of American painter Thomas Cole using artifacts from his life, including letters, journals, sketches, and paintings. Through projection, we were able to magically reveal correspondences with clients of Thomas Cole, showing the process some of his paintings took, and create a complete visual and audio takeover of one of the parlors.

My roles in this project included design, storyboarding, and animation.

Project at Second Story in collaboration with Swanny Mouton and Jinu Yang. Documented by Vanessa Patchett.
