Elf on the Shelf

Animation Reel

This reel showcases some of the work I did on various Elf on the Shelf properties including “The Elf on the Shelf’s Night Before Christmas Music Video”, “Santa’s Reindeer Rescue”, and “A Fox Cub’s Christmas Tale” as a freelance animator for Primal Screen. Working with the team at Primal Screen was an amazing experience. I got to collaborate with talented artists and production staff, animate some really fun shots, learn new skills, and improve them on the job. I was responsible for “hero” character animation in these shots, as well as crowd animation for the reindeer marching shot.
