Unhinged Media hired me on back in 2024 to take their storyboard and early animatics and polish up the animation for a 60 second teaser trailer for OCCULT, which follows a secret government agency tracking down an unknown horror lurking beyond the woods.

My main role on the project was working as the lead animator in a small team. I took a premade animatic and additional storyboards, converting them to a polished animation. Working closely with the director, I prioritized tactical authenticity, focusing on meticulous hand-to-weapon placement and precise military gestures to ground the world. By leaning into 'silent storytelling' and atmospheric pacing, we ensured the sense of the unknown remained the primary driver for the viewer's engagement.
