I was approached by NYU graduate film student Fran Zayas to create several animated pixel art sequences for his short film, a comedy based on the “Storm Area 51” incident. I completed three minutes of animation from the ground up, including character design, art direction, animation, and editing. The sequences are an essential part of the film, linking scenes together and punctuating key moments. The film was completed in 2022, and is currently being submitted to festivals. Link available on request.

In November 2019, I was a set dresser on this independent short film directed by Neo Sora, working closely with production designer Jane Ji. It premiered at the Locarno Film Festival and was featured in the official selection at NYFF, AFI fest, and more.
HUG A HOTDOG?
In March 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit New York, I was the production designer and art director for this Super 8 short film directed by Josh Lee for the Straight 8 Film Festival. My job included storyboarding the entire film, procuring costumes and props, and making central props including the sign and nightclub flier.

b. 1995
Hi. I’m Vince Warne, an artist and designer interested in narrative, technology, and film.. After graduating from Wesleyan, I worked in the film industry until COVID-19 hit, then joined Interlace Inc, a Lightspeed-funded startup, as Creative Director. After leaving Interlace I created, marketed, and sold an NFT artwork for 17 ETH earlier this year.
Since then, I’ve done illustration and animation for clients including The Browser Company, Lexus, and Starling Labs. I’ve previously worked with the agency Diamond Hook Media as an art director on photo+video shoots for Squatty Potty and Obviously. I’ve also worked as an art director, animator, and set dresser on feature films and shorts which have gone on to premiere at Sundance and Locarno.
I’m passionate about film, and film writing; I am an editor at The Millennium Film Journal and have been published in Film Comment Magazine. I post daily AI-generated artwork imagining movies that don’t exist on an Instagram called Fourth Eye Film Archive, the successor to an interactive website I built early in the pandemic to raise money for shuttered theaters.
I’m currently seeking a full-time position in NYC or remote, in a role related to design, branding, and/or art direction. Drop me a line if you’d like to chat.
