ANTARCTICA – Animation Test Pilot (Clips)

Click for sound

Served as Co-Creator and Co-EP, helping shape the world, tone, and story of this adult animated pilot for Netflix. Oversaw development and directed the creation of a fast-turnaround production pipeline to test high-quality animation on a reduced schedule and budget.
These clips are from a production test—not a full episode, and not fully mixed or finalized.

  • Produced in one-third less time than a typical schedule by leveraging limited locations, reusable 3D environments, and efficient storyboard shortcuts

  • Built around a streamlined pre-production pipeline designed for speed without sacrificing creative control

  • Kept pre-production based in the U.S. with a lean, focused team

  • Maintained top-tier visual quality on a reduced budget through smart resource allocation and workflow design

  • Partnered closely with Mercury Animation Studio using a real-time, stage-by-stage review process that improved communication and reduced back-and-forth across the animation pipeline

A test in efficiency that never sacrificed craft.
