Vigilantes INC.
We came to vote, but the system spit us out. A twisted American Dream, where democracy is a rigged game. "Is this to stop Democrats and Black voters?" they asked. "Of course not," came the oily reply.
Locked out, voiceless, staring at the broken mess of it all. This is what freedom looks like now—a cruel joke, a nightmare we can't wake up from. God help us.
The closing title of Vigilantes Inc. was a wild ride, a final stamp on a chaotic investigation led by the relentless Greg Palast, a forensic journalist who dug through the muck to expose the underbelly of corruption. David Ambrose, the Boston beast, had me on board to craft that last line, and man, what a thrill it was. This documentary wasn't just a film; it was a ticking time bomb of truth, blowing the lid off a rigged system with precision and fury. We didn't just make a film—we made a goddamn statement.
Foxton showcases
Sara was navigating a creative storm, working late on July 20th to finalize a new video layout. The plan was to merge video and imagery into a single, chaotic visual.
They’d start with overlapping images, then insert the video, smaller and centered, letting it play for a few seconds before seamlessly blending everything back into a loop.
Helena had provided the aspect ratios for the case studies—16:9 for desktop and 4:3 for mobile—so the visuals would fit any screen.
Sara was on fire with feedback. She’d just heard the client loved the Yulex designs and was only sending minor tweaks on Monday. The Hero piece was a hit! Amidst the digital chaos and design warfare, Sara’s gratitude shone through, her words a brief, heartfelt moment of clarity in the wild ride of creation. The project was a chaotic masterpiece, and we were right in the thick of it, weaving the madness into a seamless loop of visual insanity.

European Union Observer
Since the dawn of the new millennium, the European Union has unleashed a cadre of election watchdogs across more than 60 nations. These aren’t just any observers, mind you; they’re led by a European Parliament honcho, swooping in at the invitation of local governments to dissect every sordid detail of the electoral circus. They scrutinize everything from the voting rituals to media shenanigans with a keen, almost manic precision.
These observers—champions of impartiality and inclusiveness—dig into the muck and mire to expose fraud and push for electoral reforms with the fervor of a crusader. Their reports? They’re the gospel truth that keeps the corrupt at bay and clears the fog for cleaner elections.
And the magic behind the curtain? Ricardo Costa produced the hell out of that animated video, Denis Erroyaux orchestrated the creative mayhem, and we—yes, we—handled the art, direction, and animation like a one-man army of unrelenting creativity. This is how you turn bureaucratic drudgery into a psychedelic odyssey of democratic integrity.
In the twisted realm of animation, where sanity and chaos tango on a tightrope, I found my calling. Being an animator has always been my escape hatch, my chance to dive headfirst into the bizarre and the otherworldly. It’s not just a job; it’s a goddamn duty—a mission to make the weird sing and dance on the screen.
Enter ABC Direito, a 23-episode freakshow of an educational television series, shoving civic rights and legal mumbo-jumbo down the throats of the unsuspecting public. A show designed to pump knowledge into the void, one legal tidbit at a time.
My role? To breathe life into the graphic universe. I wasn’t just animating; I was the mad scientist of infographics. For each episode, I crafted a mosaic of visual nonsense—48 minutes, 33 seconds, and 9 frames of meticulously orchestrated chaos, split into a maddening average of 2 minutes per episode. It was a relentless barrage of motion and color, a wild dance of data and imagination, all rolled into a cavalcade of animated insanity.
This wasn’t just work. This was an odyssey through the absurd, where every frame was a step deeper into the rabbit hole of creative delirium.
