Nick Beeson
3D and motion graphic design
Ever since he became coordinated enough to hold a pencil, NIck loved to draw and create. At the Art Institute of Seattle he explored artistic mediums and processes ranging from stop-motion animation, to video game design, to classic oil on canvas, and graduated with a BA in Media ARts and Animation. Today, while his focus is 3D and animation design, his true passion is finding new ways to integrate artistic mediums to tell a story in a visually stunning way. Nick's 3D and motion graphic design deepens Gigantic Planet's storytelling abilities.
We are a group of transmedia artists bringing together our deep experience in design, filmmaking, writing, live performance, and successful planning and production to create meaningful media-independent storytelling.
