Lumenocity 2014
It was an amazing ride. Getting invited to design and animate on the Lumenocity team was a real adventure from the get-go. Dan and Steve of the Brave Berlin agency had invited me to work on various aspects, collaborating on the closing Tschaikowsky piece and then owning the Polovestsian Dance piece, a 12 minute animated journey through Charley Harper's work. It was a ton of work, and took a huge chunk of the summer that allowed me to work with the Charley Harper estate to pull from his work and bring it to motion through the Cincinnati Symphony and collaborate with other amazing designers and animators. A gift to Cincinnati, and in its second year, Lumenocity 2014 was spectacular. With over 50,000+ people attending 3 nights, and getting to see Charley Harper's work come to motion made me feel a real sense of accomplishment, something that I will remember my whole life, thanks team!
