War for the Whitehouse 2012

​

​

War for the Whitehouse 2012 was the Onion.com's campaign to top the already hyperbolic presentation of modern cable news election coverage.

 

I led the art direction, design and animation for the the packaging. I also directed a hand full of the episodes for this popular addition to the Onion’s Peabody Award winning election satire.

 

My concept for the show package included a Micheal Bay inspired opener and an elaborate 3D “virtual studio” with faux holographic augmented reality branding.
