MOTION GRAPHICS

Prep & Landing

As a member of the animation team for Disney's Emmy winning special, I was responsible for the animation & illustration of the beloved Kringle County Christmas Fair & Spa Navidad animated commercials.

Hello.

About

These short animations were part of a series of North Pole Commercials that enriched the world building and humor of the main Prep & Landing special. These animations contributed to the overall project's success which included winning a prime time emmy award for outstanding animated program and became the no. 1 holiday special of the season.

I was on a team of designers and animators who had the opportunity to develop several shorts for prep & landing. I was responsible for creating storyboards, visual design, motion design and presentations.

The Story

Prep and Landing is an elite organization whose job is to ready millions of homes around the world for Santa Claus's visit. They are armed with ginger bread radios, candy cane grappling hooks and armed with equipment to check the nutritional analysis of the cookies and milk. When the elves are in their off season from their hi-tech job for prepping santa's arrival, they must find something to do with their time, right?

Kringle County Christmas Fair

Kringle County Christmas Fair was one of the most recognized shorts in the "North Pole Commercials" collection for Prep & Landing. I owned the key animation & illustration for the spot, which was praised for its charming, vintage-inspired aesthetic and sharp humor, successfully expanding the franchise's world-building and becoming a highly popular bonus feature for viewers.

Collaborated directly with prep & landing directors and executive products to achieve final creative vision.

Storyboards

We map out every shot and sequence before production begins. These visual guides are the foundation of the narrative, ensuring every team member is aligned and the final product is delivered with precision and efficiency

The rough sketches we use to figure out what happens next. It’s the messy, necessary step before we commit to anything

Style frames

Before animation started, these style frames were meticulously developed to establish the final, cohesive look of the commercial. They locked in the specific, vintage-inspired aesthetic for all elements. The style frames covered every visual detail, spanning from the typography, textures, and elements to the final character treatments, guaranteeing visual consistency and matching the high production standards.

Spa Navidad

Spa Navidad is one of the many locations where elves can go and relax before all the fun begins. I was responsible for the animation, select scene illustrations, adding voice over and storyboards.
