Harmony Gold
A crossover launch film where mecha nostalgia meets high-octane product hype, crafted alongside legendary illustrator Tommy Lee Edwards.
A Visual Universe Built to Feel Canon
As lead motion designer, my role was to make every illustrated frame feel like it belonged in the Robotech universe once it started moving. To ground the film in true Robotech heritage, we partnered with Tommy Lee Edwards, whose iconic linework shaped the core character and mecha illustrations. From there, I translated his dynamic strokes into a motion language.
Punchy zooms, offset parallax, cel-layer offsets, and rhythmic cuts mimic the structure of classic anime title sequences, authentically harporing back to that era.
Cel-Drawn Legends
Edwards’ portraits of Minmay and the Veritech fighters were stylized with Xerox-era roughness, and my job was to engineer how those illustrations collided with ADVANCED’s product visuals. I built a kinetic system of spins, bursts, and impact frames that let shakers and capsules whip across screen without overwhelming the artwork. The result is a playful mashup where timeless illustration and modern merch feel like they share the same physics.
Reveals With Veritech Energy
Shakers, the Yuzu Protoculture Energy jar, and the exclusive Minmay coin were animated with the same narrative gravity as the character art. Slow, orbiting hero moves that escalate into aggressive, anime-style reveals. I designed the cockpit graphics, reticle grids, and panel-based backdrops as modular motion assets so every product moment could snap into the Robotech UI language.
The final piece merges Robotech’s illustrated legacy with ADVANCED’s bold graphic attitude. Tommy Lee Edwards established the visual soul, and I engineered the motion system around it. A fast-cut, anime-inspired reveal built for fans on both sides of the universe. Familiar enough to feel authentic, energetic enough to feel ADVANCED.
