School of Motion: Manifesto

2019

I was invited by Ordinary Folk to help design the brand Manifesto for School of Motion. The spot evolves from 2d to 3d; a subtle nod to gaining knowledge.

The manifesto also afforded an opportunity to students currently attending School of Motion by bringing them on to the project as animators, bridging the education / real world divide.

INFO / BACKGROUND


With 13+ years as a commercial artist, Jay's style is at once whimsical and mischievous. Crafting a visual language from simplified form and light, he melds graphic sensibility with dynamic personality.

Jay holds a BFA from UCONN and has pursued programs at SVA, Gobelins L’Ecole de L’Image and The Concept Design Academy.

In 2016, he helped to establish the Portland arm of Oddfellows. Most recently, he's worked as a background artist on Solar Opposites and Captain Fall. He is currently working as a location designer at Disney TVA.

He's also a moderator of Wine After Coffee, and has served as a judge for The Motion Awards.
