Food Network Holiday Lineup

I led the animation for Food Network’s new slate of holiday programming, bringing two distinct seasonal worlds to life through 3D animation.

For Christmas Cookie Challenge, I created a vibrant, stop-motion-inspired open that nodded to updated styles of holiday classics while capturing the sugary joy and whimsy of Christmas cookies in motion. Snow, sparkle, and a dash of nostalgia—all baked into every frame.

For Clash of the Grandmas, I shifted gears to match the show’s offbeat humor and quirky personality. The open leaned into playful exaggeration and bold character moments, blending heart and hilarity with a stylized visual punch.

From flour to final frame, both opens were crafted in Cinema 4D and After Effects to match the unique flavor of each show—and bring the holidays to life on screen.
