Adrian's Cool Cat: A "Cool School" Short

Client: xposure foundation
role: full visual production

For Xposure Foundation, a nonprofit introducing underserved youth to fields like science and finance, I led the full visual production of this animated music video, blending education with vibrant storytelling.

Executive Director Raymond Thomas approached me with a vision: develop new characters that could both captivate and teach. I collaborated with NYC-based illustrator Julie Anderson to design the world of Adrian and his cool cat, crafting original characters and building the 3D assets needed to bring them to life.

From early concept sketches to final compositing, I handled every stage of the animation pipeline—ensuring the visuals hit the right tone for younger audiences while staying rhythmically in sync with the pre-recorded music.

The result is a playful, character-driven piece designed to educate, entertain, and stick with young viewers.
