Inspired by a visit to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, I created both a long-form and a short-form logo animation for use in visual communications and on social. The piano piece that plays in the long-form landscape animation is an original piece I wrote for the project.

These logo animations are meant to honor the history of Hollywood storytelling, and the filmmakers and creatives who've brought so many worlds and characters to life. A thank-you to the Academy Museum for preserving that history so well and making it available for all of us to experience.
