F9: The Fast Saga
Universal Pictures / 2021
Produced at Territory Studios
Role: Animator
During mid 2020, creative collaboration took a huge hit when COVID hit us. Being tasked with animating graphics for a feature film was not going to be an easy ask as our team has been working in-person for most of the year.
We cross-collaborated with artists outside of the Bay Area and made sure we were on the same page with workflow. It was extremely important to maintain good communication as the F9 production schedule was quite tight and we needed to see graphics sooner than later. Together, our team delivered screen graphics for the mobile devices, FUI, and vehicles shown in the film.
ARIES Sequence
A complex animated sequence was created to highlight Project ARIES, a dangerous weapons program capable of controlling all of the world’s state-of-the-art computers and advanced weapons systems. This detailed sequence showcases the catastrophic global effect of ARIES when its two halves are joined together, an important moment to underline F9’s main plot point.

Car & Plane UI
We animated several different UI’s that were created for F9 to use in their automobiles and planes. These were basic interface controls juxtaposing the complex OS used by the F9 team.
