“Pop” is a visual story about the sound a carbonated aluminum can makes when it is opened.

Personal Project with Alejandra Hernández

Role: Creative Direction & Story

Experimented with paper cut-out stop motion, tasty color palettes, contradictory axis rotations.

Year: 2021

 

The See Sound series is 100% designed in a re-creational spirit.

I rediscover myself. I reinvigorate the why behind my love for visual storytelling.

 

See Sounds is a wonderful personal series that came out of the horrendous pandemic in 2020/2021.

Working from home and starved for inspiration, the endlessly talented Ale Hernández and I teamed up to do something interesting with animation. Both of our ideal aesthetics could be called “exuberant” so we wanted to be a bit reckless, experimenting with textures, colors, movement, and…sounds… that we could never get away with at work. 

We investigated hundreds of daily/random sounds - trying to visualize the sound, thinking:

  • What does it feel like?

  • What does it make me feel like?

  • What happened right before the sound?

  • What is going to happen right after the sound is made?

  • Who is making the sound and why?

We spend hours talking, brainstorming, storyboarding, researching, and recording, and listening to different sounds - and it is a blast!

Doesn’t it sound delicious?

I like to frolic through moodboarding

See Sounds is an ongoing and active project, which means more sounds will be see-able soon!
