Happily Ever After Returns - Main Street Projections

I had the immense honor and privilege to serve as the Lead Animator for the Main Street U.S.A addition to the Return of Happily Ever After at the Magic Kingdom. With nearly 50 artists total, we were able to extend the projections from the original 2017 show down 25 new projection surfaces within Main Street U.S.A. as well as have the opportunity to include both classic and new characters that debuted since the original show's inception.

I got to establish and create a lot of the production looks of the show that I then oversaw the animation of as they were integrated. It was a wonderful collaboration between multiple departments like lighting, fireworks, and video to be able to pull this show off.

Happily Ever After now runs nightly at the Magic Kingdom.
