Animism: The Gods' Lake is an animated kids' show on APTN in Canada. It pairs modern Urban Fantasy with traditional First Nations' mythology. It focusses on a group of people who's story is woven through the powerful forces surrounding the fictional location of "Gods' Lake", and around a heroine who is tapped to be aemmisary for the unleashed, and sometimes violent, forces of the world.
For this project, my main role was over-all conceptualizing, generating all assets, working with sound designers and composers, animating the piece(s) surrounding the pilot episode. I also provided support in terms of strategy consultation and graphic design for the accompanying Alternate Reality Game while was played across the continenet by a dedicated group of people.
The pilot episode was nominated for a Leo Award, and was also a finalist at SXSW-I for online motion graphics in 2010.
