A pair of pilates videos
Very happy to have helped renowned yoga teacher Jen René put together this video series. Check out her site www.jenreneyoga.com for Pilates exercises to strengthen your yoga practice. What a fun project!
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.
UX Design for a War of 1812 historic site
At this visitor center for the Fort York National Historic Site in Toronto, Ontario, I designed the user experience for two interactive touchscreens: a wayfinding touchscreen to orient users to the site, and another interactive program that lets visitors explore parallel stories of 1812-era inhabitants of the town and modern citizens. A feedback component allows visitors to tell their own stories.
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.
Interactive Design for the Birthplace of Country Music Museum
For the Birthplace of Country Music® Museum, I designed user experiences and interfaces for two interactive experiences. The first, "The Wayback Machine," I modeled after old-time roadside attractions: "raree shows" which were hand-cranked miniature shows with their own prosceniums, puppets, and stories. The second, an E-Postcard interactive touchscreen, lets visitors choose a custom-designed postcard and send to a friend.
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.
