hitrecord shorts

From 2016 to 2019, I collaborated with global artists on animation projects through hitRECord, a collaborative production company founded by actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. These projects partnershiped with organizations like ACLU, Instagram, and Pivot Network, fostering creativity through collective storytelling and visual art.

A very different world (HitRECORD × ACLU)

In 2016, hitRECord joined forces with the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) to create a series of animated shorts exploring the impact of technological impact on democracy. I played a pivotal role in crafting and guiding the creative direction of the animated short "A Very Different World", which portrays a dystopian society immersed in continuous mass surveillance. The project received a nomination for the 2017 Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Interactive Programming.

dear dad (HitRECORD × instagram)

For Father’s Day in 2017, to promote its newly released stories feature, hitRECord partnered with Instagram on a series of animated shorts titled 'Dear Dads', each 15-second story is inspired by a letter a child has written to their dad. I created key visuals and worked closely with animators to bring some of these stories to life.

From 2014 to 2015, hitRECord crafted a variety show for the PIVOT network, where each episode delved into a specific keyword (i.e. future, fire, etc). Taking part in collaboration with fellow contributors, my role involved designing key visual elements for different segments of the show. The series won the 2014 Emmy Award for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media."
