Message from the Art Director:
“I am a motion graphics designer and animator. I agreed to work with Robert Hess on Sustaining Life during my senior year at SCAD because I loved the concept for the film and trusted his vision/direction. As a designer I believe that with the unique opportunity to communicate with large groups of people comes a great responsibility. At SCAD, I was lucky to have a strong network of friends that were both talented and hardworking.

Many of these artists would eventually become the creative team that designed and animated “Sustaining Life.” I want to thank each of them for tolerating my approach to art and creative direction for the motion graphics in the film. I believe that together we helped create something of value and weight. I hope that at the very least it would inspire others to do the same. “
