Client: Library of Congress

My Role:
As motion graphics designer on the creative team at Hillmann & Carr, I was responsible for designing and animating the opening and closing video sequences that frame this major exhibition. Working closely with curators, editors, and content specialists, I created motion visuals that introduce visitors to the core themes of the show: two powerful figures shaped by empire, Enlightenment, and revolution—and revealed anew through their own words and artifacts.

Exhibit Placement:
The motion graphics I produced appear in the entry corridor of the Southwest Exhibition Gallery, immediately as visitors enter from the grand atrium of the Library of Congress’ Thomas Jefferson Building. These videos are the first interpretive elements guests encounter, setting the tone for the entire exhibit experience.

A sample of my work, including the opening sequence, is featured below.

The opening sequence for The Two Georges exhibit sequence features the signature “opening doors” of the parallel lives of King George III and George Washington.

This section of the video uses motion graphics to showcase some of George Washington’s writings featured in the exhibition.
