Amazon Holiday

Live-Action Director, On-Set VFX Supervisor, Animation Director

One of the exciting things about working at Malka Media is that I get to wear many hats and, sometimes, one of those hats is that of a live action director. Amazon tasked us with producing a handful of spots for Amazon Launchpad for the holiday season. Due to a lack of available resources, I stepped in to not only lead up post production for the edit and animation teams, but also direct the shoots with the live action talent.

I worked closely with Amy de Paola and Melissa Heber to coordinate the shoot, pick props and wardrobe, and choose casting.

I had a blast working with the various actors. They were shot on green screen with minimal sets, but they did a wonderful job of reacting to nothing but a tennis ball on a stick.
