Hello, there. I'm Chad Moore.
I create animation and draw conversations.
Despite growing up on Long Island, New York I don't know much about sailing. But I wholeheartedly believe that a rising tide lifts all ships, as long as everyone has sea-worthy boats.
Three of my major influences:
One:
This is the longest running research ever conducted. I find it fascinating in scope and outcome.
The clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.
Two:
The Five Regrets of the Dying is a lighthouse for a life well lived in my humble opinion:
- I wish 'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
- I wish hadn't worked so hard.
- I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
- I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
- I wish that I had let myself be happier.
Three:
We cannot live in this world alone. We can't even come into this world without the help of two other people.
Virginia Satir, Your Many Faces
As such, I am working on my relationships. To myself and my family and friends. To my Communities. I’m ultimately trying hard to understand what’s in my circle of control, influence, and concern so that I can be present and help create equity in some way shape or form.
My creative focuses are:
Graphic Recording
While you or your teams or groups are having conversations or telling stories, I‘ll create a large visual summary of the important aspects. Later, you can use this to increase connection and understanding. As well as share a visual artifact internally or with an audience. I can join in person or over the internet.
You can see some of my previous Graphic Recording work here.
Animation
I'm making animation for explainer videos, short films, and video games. I'm open to projects outside of those fields, too. Most recently I am working with Procreate Dreams, Blender, and Unreal Engine. I've got loads of experience in Maya and Motion Builder too.
