Dynamic driving shot, s01e01. For final layout, I had to re-block the convertible animation, re-constrain both characters to the convertible, and rebuild the camera to track and orbit the action.
Reveal shot of the Barbie Dream Closet, s01e02. For final layout, I rebuilt and smoothed the camera motion and applied 5 speed ramps for a 24 second establishing shot. Camera: me. Final render: Saffronic.
Magical match cut for Brooklyn, s03e05. The director was not happy with how these shots stitched together originally. For final layout, I finessed Brooklyn's anim and the camera to achieve a match cut, while on a tight deadline.
Magical match cut for Malibu, s03e05. The director was not happy with how these shots stitched together originally. For final layout, I finessed Malibu's anim and the camera to achieve a match cut, while on a tight deadline.

Final episodes of Mattel's Barbie Doll Adventures! I was a final layout artist on multiple seasons of this production. Dozens of amazing folks worked on these episodes, I am posting with an emphasis on final camera work that I contributed. My personal layout reel with breakdowns is available upon request.

Mattel tasked Mindshow with creating music videos and narrative episodes celebrating Brooklyn, Malibu, and friends, showcasing their adventures in Doll World. I am highlighting these season 1 and season 3 shots because of their complexity. The cameras needed to be smoothed, but also the animation blocking needed adjusting, and timing had to be altered to account for speed ramps.
