This spring I had the pleasure of joining the Hillmann & Carr team as we produced two pieces of media for the Library of Congress's special exhibition, Drawing Justice: The Art of Courtroom Illustration. For us, the challenge was to take existing archival footage and make it visually exciting. I did that by adding depth.

For the Fort York National Historic Site in Toronto, Ontario, I created motion graphics which stretch across three 1080p projections. I created several epic motion graphics sequences, taking advantage of the full canvas for my motion graphics palette.

As the opening bumper for a series of continuing education lectures, we decided to bring the National Register's logo to life through a three-dimensional logo which emphasizes the impact psychologists can have on real people.

This video was produced for a special exhibition hosted by the National Institutes of Health devoted to the pioneering drawings of early neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. I created a visual timeline showing important leaders in the development of neuroscience that would place Cajal's achievements in context.

In this post, I walk through the user experience design process of creating an interactive opera game for the Marilyn Horne Opera Center: from wireframing to drawing cartoon opera singers in Adobe Illustrator, to animating them in Adobe Character Animator, and the final product being enjoyed in the museum.

The Search for Justice is a 15-minute 3-screen documentary about the trials of the Oklahoma City bombers. I created a motion graphics framework for this piece, "building on" the layout of important newspaper pages, rotoscoping legal documents into archival footage, and creating a parallax or "2 1/2 D" effect for courtroom drawings. 

The Unbroken Circle Theater is the closing theater in the permanent exhibit at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum. The theater showcases how country music's influence has spread from one corner of Southwest Virginia to be a cultural force throughout the world. I edited this piece and created a suite of motion graphics that riffed off the idea of curving lines connecting different branches of a common musical tree.

This documentary, I'm Paying For This Microphone, which I produced and edited as my thesis film while completing my M.F.A. in film and electronic communication, examines America's presidential debates: perhaps the most watched, but least understood, television ritual we have in this country.

This piece features over six months of timelapse photography of the Fred Fisher and Partners-designed Sunnylands Center & Gardens under construction, as well as the planning and evolution of the desert gardens designed by the landscape architects at the Office of James Burnett.

While I was a graduate student at American University, I worked for AU's office of communication and marketing.  These motion graphics pieces were produced during my time there.
