Bipolar Rock ‘N Roller Title Sequence

Concept, Animation Director and Supervisor

Malka Media partnered with Showtime Sports to produce the feature-length documentary about the life of famed sports commentator, Mauro Ranallo. I was tasked with developing the opening credits sequence along with my lead animator and one of our talented in-house art directors.

Much of the documentary focuses on Mauro’s mental health issues. Through that lens, we visualized his struggles with scenes of broken glass, symbolizing both his shattered psyche as well as reflecting important moments of his life. It made for a powerful opening, one that I’m especially proud of given the very small team making it happen.

Aside from concepting, I also worked on early mockups to provided style frames for my animator and the art director to work from. I also gave direction and supervised all animation work.
