Motion

Project Details

Before expanding the scope of my art and design career by pursuing film and television, my first foray into the world of animation was through motion graphics. By learning various tools (i.e. After Effects, Premiere) and techniques (i.e. Kinetic Typography, Blend Shapes, Stop Motion), I was able to take begin the process of applying my art and design principles to images that were no longer static. Below are some examples of the motion work that I've done.

Alcaverse

Alcaverse is a fictional sci-fi television series. This title sequence concept uses a modified geometric typeface that alludes to planetary diagrams, alien languages and technical drawings of advanced technology. The gradual reveal and lighting effects evoke the feeling and aesthetics of outer space. It takes inspiration from the titles of films such as Alien and the 1978 version of Superman.

The show wordmark was created in Adobe Illustrator, while all animation and effects were produced in Adobe After Effects.

Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV

Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV, was an anime based on the video game Final Fantasy XV, which aired in anticipation of the game's release. The series details the backstories of the protagonist and his three companions on his journey.

This introduction was created when the series was announced, as a mock concept for what a title sequence for the show may look like.

Down To The Wire

Down To The Wire was a sports podcast and blog that I ran with fellow sports enthusiast Shawn D'Silva. The branding and accompanying stop motion animation below served as the video introduction to our video podcast episodes which were published on YouTube.

YSDN 2017

During the last year of my undergraduate studies at York University, I was part of the YSDN 2017 Branding Team. As a Brand Specialist, I collaborated with an incredible group of classmates to develop an identity for our graduate showcase.

Among the many ideas that were proposed, one of the ones that I pitched revolved around the concept of building blocks. I explained that our program - and design as a whole - could be viewed as an array of functional pieces, that each student could pick from to build their own career path. At the same time, we ourselves could be seen as building blocks of the program - a diverse group of individuals with varying backgrounds and skills, coming together in many different ways to learn and produce high-quality design work.

The logo was created in Illustrator, while the motion was designed in After Effects.
