Client: HelloSign

HelloSign is an E-signature company that is now with the DropBox family. This animation was done with the goal to explain HelloSign’s capabilities in a fun, easy-to-do manner. The illustrations were inspired by the incredible HelloSign artwork that was created by Jonathan Holt and Berenice Méndez. A BIG “thank-you” to the entire Collier.Simon team for their amazing help and support!

I started making a short back in May 2020 and worked on bits and pieces when I had free time:

One man was so determined to reveal the truth about who our country’s first president was, that he opened a museum in rural Northeast Ohio.

Been slowly chipping away at hand-drawn animation/rotoscoping course that’s free on School of Motion's website. I’m a big fan of this tutorial and had a lot fun throughout the entire process. In the course, instructor Amy Sundin guides you and provides a fun render created by Rich Nosworthy to draw on top of. Hopefully moving on to the next hand-drawn project soon.
