During PandaPanther's formative years, the company played a vital role in providing support for ongoing campaign development at Leo Burnett, Chicago. Working on these campaigns elevated the quality of productions to new heights by incorporating traditional mixed media practical sets and coordinating live-action stop motion shoots. I was involved in creating previsualization and stage planning, co-directing creative aspects, and serving as the Animation Director.
This experience fundamentally changed our approach to future projects and even garnered attention from notable admirers, including the John Oliver Show (watch segment below).
