GM - 28th SUPPLIER OF THE YEAR

(Concept Visual Package)

Cinematic Environmental Motion Design

The GM Supplier of the Year Awards concept was developed for a planned Arizona-based executive event. Building from an initial theme crafted by the graphic designer and a narrative direction inspired by the opening sequence of Spirit, I collaborated with the director to refine the story flow, tone, and visual arc.I then expanded the creative into a full cinematic motion design package—including environmental worldbuilding, character animation, event graphics, ambient loops, and AR assets. Though the live event was ultimately cancelled, the work reflects the intended visual direction for GM’s show experience.
