ENCORE

Encore tells the story of a forgotten nickelodeon player piano that is given new life when a candlestick is blown onto the piano's keys. This project was completed under the direction of Industry Mentors from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Dreamworks, and Lucasfilm.

As a member of a five person team, I served as the Story Lead, Concept Lead, and the Layout Lead. I was responsible for set dressing, cinematography, the initial lighting, and the surfaces outside of and inside of the piano.
