@novikoff Big fan of Ive & Newsom.
I'm sure it's loaded with brilliant design details, but the overall form is a big yikes from me.

And design/engineering packaging IS hard, but the Taycan is a 4 door big-battery EV that is elegant, dramatic, and sleek.

The closest finish in #indy500's 110 year history.

Our @BLKBXINF team was obsessed with every single detail when designing a suite of broadcast innovations for IndyCar / FoxSports.

[John LePore @JohnnyMotion]

Sunday, the Indy500 will be watched by millions.

We approached the race's data visualizations as an integral part of the competition itself— engineered to enhance the way we experience the fastest racing on earth.

Today, I'm loving making creative tools w AI.

in 2025 the most rewarding thing I did was full analog (Stripe City).

What's in the middle?

[John LePore @JohnnyMotion]

Definitely the wildest product we've worked on.
Go Figure 03, GO!

Iron Man 2 was the very first film I worked on.

It started as a request for a single animated loop and ended with over 100 vfx shots(!).

A pivotal moment for myself and my former colleagues at Perception— here's how we pulled it off:

Dipolar Field Generator. Built w/ Claude.

Critical for project. Killer bonus asset client didn’t know they needed.

More satisfying than generating pixels.

[John LePore @JohnnyMotion]

You can just make things.
And if you are @eliguerron, you make ambitious things that feel obvious and natural. Like @withdipper.
Brilliant.

Hovercraft is how I always wanted to share my slides. So I made it. It’s a virtual camera for the Mac.

No more disembodied voice. No more “can you see my screen?” Just me, tossing around my windows like it’s 2027.

I can't wait for the day that everyone gets to watch racing like this.

@lapz_io is still the best experience you can find anywhere. Hands down.

More on the Marvel Studios logo:

Pitching, designing & directing the Marvel Studios logo animation was one of the most iconic things I was a part of while leading the amazing team at Perception.

And it was deeply intimidating to say the least... (1/10)

[John LePore @JohnnyMotion]

Marvel's vis dev team are the best in the biz.

When directing the Marvel Studios logo I got to pour over archives of their work. Jaw-dropping.

@Dougasaurus & I made the conscious decision of including signatures in early tests as a tribute to artists we revered.

[John LePore @JohnnyMotion]

@Oddernod Truly too kind Ryan 💗

One of my favorite artifacts from designing Wakandan tech for Black Panther.

I loved this layout & color scheme, so I made a cyan alternate just so I could say "this is what any other movie would do".

Sometimes 'proof-of-non-concept' is very persuasive tool.

[John LePore @JohnnyMotion]

@amfonte It was an honor- my team’s contributions were a sliver of a magnificent project put together by many many talented people.

[John LePore @JohnnyMotion]

@shrimpala Hell yes

The brief for Black Panther:

Wakanda should have the most advanced tech ever seen on film.

Here's how we approached it:

@ancildesign Worked w Nick before (he’s great!), but he was on a different team on BP I believe.

@guidorosso Thanks Guido ❤️

@laurieesc Working on Marvel films there wasn’t much interaction with their (amazing) concept art team, except for when making the Marvel Studios logo itself.

They cover the broad strokes of general aesthetics, and others (like us) focused on granular details.
