Very excited to be back teaching motion at Parsons this spring in the MPS Communication Design program! đ„đïž
âThis course explores the fundamentals of time-based graphic motion, with particular emphasis on typography, image, and narrative sequence.

âRomeo & Zooliet tells the story of animals inside the Saint Louis Zoo performing their own production of Shakespeareâs Romeo and Juliet. In this animalâcentered version, the Montagues are herbivores and the Capulets are carnivores. When they share the stage, a prairie dog and a grizzly bear form a surprising bond that unites the zoo.â
