Here are selects from a series of animations that I designed for Microsoft Advertising to help them address businesses about common marketing challenges. The videos had a tight timeline and budget and were originally meant to be talking head videos.  I convinced the client to take a risk and developed a stop motion, crumpled paper style that would allow us to get way more out of the small budget.  The were ultimately very happy and came back several times to have me leverage the same style to create more content.
