Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj

 I had an incredible opportunity to work with the GFX team of Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj (Netflix) for a year and half. I joined the team during the prep-term for Cycle 2 and remained until the final episode of Cycle 6. 

My task was to collaborate with other animators to create numerous graphs, maps, fireworks, PQs, and backgrounds or simply make whatever visuals were needed to get the elements to the pre-vis on time. As much as time-constraining and intense it was to keep up with the taping schedules every week, I loved working for the show knowing it delivers important topics in a meaningful and fun way. 

Oh, and the show was awarded for an Emmy for Outstanding Motion Design in 2019 :)

Here is a selection of some of the graphics I worked on throughout Cycle 2-6
