THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT AMY (PART 4)

NOMINATED FOR TELLYCAST - LOW BUDGET 

PRODUCTION COORDINATOR

This project was very important for the Mashed team. We had to keep it at or under budget, but it was also a tent pole release! My role was to keep the project moving forward, and make sure we stayed in budget. I had recently developed some tools on Google Sheets and Airtable to make this easier, and this project was the first one for me to implement these tools from start to finish. As a result. we stayed under budget and on time. It was also just a great toon, and I was so excited to see it was nominated!

  • Searched through source material received. 

  • Wrote creative briefs for designers. based on source material.

  • This one was challenging because there was limited source material, and the artwork had a shift on the third film. I had to find a way to connect the three films in the design elements. I chose to ask the designer to create a symbol from the show on the back that can match the coloring theme of each film. You can view this connecting element in the product link below!
