Hi, my name is James Gundersen. I am an Art Director, Director, and musician.
Based in New York, I have worked as a art director, director, designer, illustrator, animator, and camera operator for a diverse array of clients ranging from Google and NBC, to independant music label Doomtree, and non profits such as Hudson River Park NYC.
My strength is in overall Art Direction/Direction, Concept, and Design.
Everything from making playful characters, design for motion graphics, live action treatments with post VFX, to crafting narratives that have a dark cinematic feel and look.
