Hasta La Motion!

With the boom of hand-drawn animation in the world of motion design, it’s a no-brainer that we do a Step by Step profile on the medium. Thankfully, Jake Armstrong is here to show us how it’s done!

There seems to be a gap between the two main worlds of production: working on cartoons and the network side of things, and that of the advertising-centric world of motion design. Jake is a rare breed who has been able to successfully traverse this gap throughout his career. He has worked on a handful of popular shows and even directing and creating his own content to working at many of the top motion design studios such as Buck and Psyop, to name a few. Add to that his role in Late Night Work Club and it’s safe to say he’s done a lot, and he’s good at it all!

Jake recently purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro and had some down time on a flight so he decided to test it out and create this animation for us.
