ESPN Fan Stories: “All Hail The Queen”
Animation Direction, Art Direction, 2D Animation, 3D Animation, Character Animation
Less Elizabethan queen - more black leather.
I was commissioned by documentary filmmakers Melissa Johnson & Katelyn Howes to conceive and create animation sequences for “ESPN Fan Stories: All Hail the Queen“, a mini-doc about WWE superfan, Lindsey Kelk. The team designed and brought to life Lindsey's royally bad-ass glam punk alter-ego, The Queen, using a hybrid of frame-by-frame 2D animation and 3D, finished in a punk-rock inspired comic-book aesthetic.
“Being a WWE fan has given me more confidence to be myself. I’m very happy to stand out now.””
