Text, Texture, LibraryNext
How do you tell a story about the future of libraries while paying homage to the libraries of the past? Our answer: use paper textures to create a popup world of discovery, filled with the texts and discoveries of the past, while telling a story about how today’s researchers can discover their life’s passion in the library of the future.
Sizzle Reels for Museums
When you create media for museums, showing the media in situ contextualizes and provides references for what the full visitor experience feels like. That’s why I created these “sizzle reels” — mini museum tours that show off all the media produced for one exhibit or one museum. Enjoy!
Adding Depth to a Video about Flat Art
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.
6K Motion Graphics
For the Fort York National Historic Site in Toronto, Ontario, I created motion graphics which stretch across three 1080p projections. Using the full canvas for my motion graphics palette, I was able to create several epic motion graphics sequences.
The Search for Justice
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.
Creating a 3D Logo
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.
Celebrating a Neuroscience Pioneer
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.
Staging an Interactive Opera
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.
Unbroken Circle Immersion Theater
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.
I'm Paying For This Microphone
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.
