Tools
After Effects / Adobe Animate / Photoshop

I animated backgrounds and shaped the look of the effects—zaps and explosions around the team’s 2D animation.

The crew was finishing Teen Titans Go! to the Movies. I stepped in as Technical Director for the opening episodes of season five, keeping the effects consistent from shot to shot.
