CNN's Colorscope commissioned Buck to create this piece focusing on perceptions of colors across time and cultures. My role was to lead the first half of the spot, including design and animation. I
decided it was a great opportunity to test out animation techniques I had on the
back burner for a while. The result is a smooth blend of styles within the limits of a
monotone color palette.

CNNColorscope is a multi award-winning series exploring our perception of color across cultures one shade at a time.
CNN commissioned BUCK to create this piece focusing on the color Purple.
The last color on the spectrum, a marriage of opposites, a mixture between the hottest color and the coldest.
My role was to lead the first half of the spot, including design and animation. I
decided it was a great opportunity to test out animation techniques I had on the
back burner for a while.
The result is a smooth blend of styles within the limits of a monotone color palette.
