Masters of the Muralverse
In late 2022 I had the joy of animating the opening sequence for the new TVNZ series Masters of the Muralverse. The task was to showcase artwork created by students within the series, while also introducing the audience to the concept of the ‘muralverse’: an abstract world where creative ideas come to life.I also animated the ‘pitch’ section of the show, where students proposed their ideas for a school/community mural. This involved taking the student’s hand-drawn sketches, splitting these into layers in photoshop, and then adding movement to bring the details to life.
