writing in the studio

"Studio Run" by Little Labs
role: producer + writer

Pre-production initial set-up and testing.

The team and I brainstormed on the concept, upon which I created a game manual developing a backstory for the desired studio space setting, and created character archetypes, power-ups, and obstacles.

Gameplay Objective: to provide players with an interactive way to learn about studio roles.

Inside inspiration: I had the most fun developing the characters! Inspired by D&D archetypes (and my appreciation of anime and gaming), I pitched a list of character names I created, connecting each archetype with a magical personna. Each character correlated to various roles within a studio. The power-ups and obstacles, in turn, were also based on items found in a work setting.

"I Can't Breathe" by Snaggletooth
role: producer + co-scriptwriter

I helped produce and co-write the script recounting an individual's autobiographical experience of racial injustice. We used a painterly art style to evoke the sense of something very real and human. Minimal animation over static illustrations highlighted captured moments in history and real-life accounts of human experiences.
