During 2005 through 2008, I engaged more heavily in the art of creating motion graphics. The idea of fusing graphic design, animation and depending on the concept and desired look, a dash of film making had always interested me. Rendering and rendering to get the right feel and idea of the moving outcome by far is the most fun one can have using multiple programs simultaneously.

I worked with two main clients in those years, PTV Prime Entertainment and Digital Broadcast Network as Art Director/Producer to motion graphic design. I was in charge of sketching the concept, designing and executing all the broadcast content for the channel while having complete control of the project.

Most of the direction for projects came from seasonal and program time changes. One particular project in which I was completely self involved was entitled “Orange & Snow”, inspired and based on video images from Christo & Jeanne Claude’s 2006 Central Park installation, The Gates.

It had snowed consecutively for days prior to the opening of the exhibit and I felt that it would be a great opportunity to record the event. The contrast of the green landscape, white snow and orange hangings that were part of the exhibit would look amazing on the screen. The images were cleaned up in Final Cut then were brought into illustrator where I designed the graphic elements and text information. After the completion of the feel and motion of the ID’s, I created sound elements to correlate with the visual movement. Three final selections chosen to run during the morning, afternoon, and evening programs televised throughout the states.

There are many other works done in the motion graphics style, i will add more in the near futures as they are retrieved from older archives.
