His other freelance stops include Elastic, Prologue, and Motion Theory, where he directed and creative directed commercials, title sequences, and VFX work for Nike, Disney, and Apple.

Collings got his start as a Senior Designer/Animator at Shilo. From there, he joined Elastic as a Design Director working on such projects as commercial campaigns for Nike Pro Combat and Verizon Droid, and the “Tron: Legacy” main titles. Collings then went on to Big Block as a director/creative director, where he built out the company’s design division, and helmed campaigns for the likes of Under Armour, ESPN, and Lexus. His work has garnered industry recognition, including an Emmy Award for Monday Night Football, and multiple Clio and Promax awards for ESPN rebrands, Fox’s “Cosmos” main titles, and an anthem film for Discovery’s “Great American Country.”
