Continuous camera sequence, Venus. For final layout, I rebuilt 7 shot cameras from 3 sequences in different environments to look like a single orbital shot with a slow final push in.
Establishing intro, Abbey. For final layout, I rebuilt both shot cameras. In shot 1 I added animation on the main snowflake, and adjusted the set dress per director notes. Shot 2 required camera smoothing.
Dutch camera match cut, Spectra. For final layout, I rebuilt the camera rotation on the first shot, and added a camera rotation on the second shot to match cut.
Rising orbital, Jinafire. The director wanted the camera smoothed and for Jinafire to be showcased better in the final frames. For final layout, I made all necessary adjustments, while avoiding crashing into nearby set dress.

Final episodes of Mattel's "Monster High" music videos! I was a final layout artist on these productions. Dozens of amazing folks worked on these, 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 spooktacular music videos starring the new generation of Monster High ghouls. These music videos, released on YouTube, coincided with the G3 doll launch. I am highlighting these shots because they epitomize my growth as a Layout artist AND were super fun to work on. My layout work throughout the MH music video series consisted of camera cleanup and adjustments, quality control, and rough animation fixes.
