During most MLB games, the announcers with talk about various plays and players. Each time they wanted to go back to a previous at bat, play, or moment in the games or a game prior, an interstitial would display on the TV for the audience to know who they were talking about. At NESN I was tasked with creating these talking point animations to fit within the graphics package for the Boston Red Sox that the studio uses, I went with a simple pan out motion and had the players name animate onto the screen with his head shot. The letters would glitch onto the screen one at a time in succession quickly with a rectangle that would wipe over it as well. I had two lines in the corners also create some movement and act as a text box at the same time.

The English Premier League has some of the most recognizable team logos around the world. I wanted to display how each of the team’s logos showcased can come to life no matter how intricate or simplistic they are.

This motion graphic displays the astronomical evolution of how realistic graphics within video has drastically changed over the years from the early of Pong to more recent games such as Tom Clancy’s The Division. Through the use of gifs and type, this graphic walks the viewer through every generation of game and compares it to its successors and predecessors.

StoveGT is a small video game streamer on the platform Twitch.TV. He started out streaming World of Warcraft and after talking to him, I built an entire stream brand from a logo to his stream overlays, to his information panels on the site. He wanted his look to be centered around the character he played on World of Warcraft, which was a Tauren or bull. From there I used the image of a bull head to configure his entire setup from the back drop pattern to the panels. He wanted to keep everything two colors, which were neon green and black as they stood out on the Twitch.TV site. As for the typography, StoveGT wanted something bold, but flowed into each other. I used the Modern Machine type as it appeared. to flow smoothly into each character . After completing those, I decided to animate a few of those overlays with simple transitions and wipes. I created overlays for when his steam is starting, when it’s ending, and when he is away from his keyboard for a moment. Each of these are displayed in the video as well a a transitional wipe that displays any time he switch screens on the stream.

His entire setup can be found at Twitch.tv/stovegt.

For how simplistic my logo is, I wanted to display the various ways my logo can come to life and transition smoothly.
