About

FedEx: Enchanted Forest was directed by Marie Hyon and Marco Spiers for Psyop NY. The original pitch was lead by myself and Lauren Indovina and we both eventually led the design for the world. We wanted to create a forest hidden from man that had grown to become the ideal union between fantasy, animal and mother earth. It became an exciting exploration in character and environment design, as each designer brought their own unique look and vision to the piece which we combined to create a melting pot of fantastic creatures and vegetation.
