Vision Conference

Motion elements used in promotional pieces and on-site AV production for an annual conference for international students. Each year’s event often uses a distinct visual style (color palette and visual elements) reflective of the varying host city/region. The project requires a balance of visual brand continuity in the logo’s motion design and also versatility for use in promo videos with themes ranging from fun and exciting to serious or contemplative content.

Honor Restored Training Series

Animation demonstrating the use of the Honor Restored conversation guide. This was my first motion design assignment, and it initiated my love of animation work. The scope of the project pushed me to advance my competency in animation concepts, After Effects workflow practices, and features like expressions.

The project aimed to engage the viewer’s attention and interest by illustrating the concepts, stories, quoted text, and the technical instructions from pre-produced audio narration. A creative challenge of this project was to match a range of different types of imagery with the personality of the source illustrations and to maintain that visual consistency between the eight segments.

San Francisco Vision Dinner

Video intro for a regional gathering for donors (and broadcast to virtual attendees.) The piece highlights ministry stats and scope among the Cru movements of San Francisco area Colleges and Universities. The project goal was to give life to a vision statement and a few statistics following a year amidst pandemic lockdowns. With a short project timeline from the stakeholder, I was given the majority of the visual direction and illustration authority. The piece includes stock footage of San Francisco and uses a mix of original vector artwork and modified stock to create the motion elements.
