Shark Double Oven

On-Set VFX Supervisor, Animation Director and Supervisor

It’s like they always say: double the oven, double the fun. When SharkNinja needed a broadcast commercial spot for their new Double Oven, they came to the creative team at Malka Media. I served as the Animation and VFX Supervisor and performed a number of tasks.

I worked closely with Eric Schwarz, the creative producer, to take in the request from the client, budget out any animation and VFX needs, and help build out the full postproduction schedule. I oversaw the storyboards and animatic as well as executed RND and test shots with my VFX team to prepare for the shoot.

I then served as the VFX Supervisor on set, connecting the with the Director and DP to answer any questions and provide insight. My VFX Assistant and I gathered all required elements on set to ensure a smooth postproduction process.

During post, I oversaw all animation work, provided direction and feedback while ensuring we stayed on schedule.
