motion graphics

Note: most of these animations were optimized for web encoding, hence the basic shape compositions, smooth motion and minimal blending of semi-transparent layers or 'scratchy' effects (a web encoder's nightmare!).

For those with short attention spans, some of the stuff featured below blended together into one smooth and tasty montage. Included are some RS branding identities, feature intro segments ('Sessions', 'New Faces'), and selected band interview intros.   Running time: 1min

I drew that TV, supplied the media, directed, and produced this piece with the help of editors at Atomic Media (at the time, we didn't have the gear to do this type of thing in-house).   Running time: 1min 22sec

Intro and Outro that book-ended our video music news program that was produced daily. Attached are somer older 'B-roll' intros and ID branding shorts. This is of lesser quality, due to the older sofware codecs and 110MHz machines. Technology sure has changed!   Running time: 3min

Similar to the After Effects composite pieces above, this piece was created to be attached to rich media compositions; such as QuickTime, Flash, or SMIL (Real) audio slideshows. This was part of my proposal for interactive video news, instead of our static daily video music news.   Running time: 6sec
