LEGO COMMERCIALS
Over the years, I've worked with Sir Lancelot Animation Studio as a Director on hundreds of LEGO commercials and product animations. The video reel below showcases just a small sample of my work, highlighting what I love most about directing. This includes everything from script breakdowns, edits, and revisions, to creating detailed animatics that convey pacing, composition, action, and product features—all designed to streamline the animation pipeline.
