The Cycle of Life from robbie conaway on Vimeo.
My favorite client Carl Puccio hired me to do an animation short for his company Alpine Access. He sent me to an online video of an award winning United Airlines commercial that he wanted me to use as inspiration or a template.
This was one of the biggest projects I’ve ever done. After creating over 30+ illustrations with various moving parts and backgrounds, I then went to the task of animation in Flash. Once the animation process was finished, I took the resulting movie into After Effects were I applied color correction, contrast, vignette and a hand made watercolor texture.
The whole process was a huge undertaking and took about a month and a half to create.
The script was written by Carl. I chose the music and voice-over actor for the piece.

In addition to the animation and art direction, both of which were executed to an award-winning level, the script is very well written.
“Does he know the measure of his worth beyond his current situation?”
Very insightful.

Thanks Paul. and I’m sure Carl would like to hear your compliments as well. He’s a pretty sharp guy, as well as being the best client/boss ever.
