James Purdy

As an Editorial Animator for Vice's Snapchat Discover Channel, I was part of a dynamic team of 7-10 individuals. My role involved creating 6-8 ten second looping editorial illustrations daily for abridged versions of articles from various verticals within Vice. The role was quite fast paced and required a lot of quick abstract thinking around short selections of text.

All of the animations on this page with people were done in Cinema 4D with effects and settings applied to them in After Effects to create a hand-drawn look. Some of the additional elements (i.e. background scribbles and dots) were created with the Trapcode Particular plugin in AE.
