3rd Down Cerberus

A looping crowd prompt for the Cleveland Browns created with a combination of Photoshop and After Effects.
These photographic elements were gathered from the Browns photography team rebuilt into the creature before you. Inspired by the beast Cerberus, guardian of the Underworld, this three-headed monstrosity was meant to strike fear into the hearts of opposing teams and fans on defensive drives.

The Heart of American Soccer

A transition wipe made for the Columbus Crew. Created in After Effects, this animation was made in celebration of the 2023 MLS Champions. Nearly 50% of the U.S. population lives within a 500 mile radius of Ohio's capital with about 21 major interstate highways that reach most states. With 3 MLS Cups, the Columbus Crew has established themselves
as the heart of American soccer.

PokéBrowns

An 8-bit animation created for a fun in-game element for the Cleveland Browns. All pieces were illustrated in Photoshop then imported to After Effects where they were brought to life. The piece is inspired by the video game classic, Pokémon, and while players battled it out on the field the mascots were duking it out in the digital realm. There are various NFL easter eggs hidden in this piece, can you catch them all?

¡Vamos!

A crowd hype prompt made for the Columbus Crew. This animation features frame-by-frame animatic techniques performed in After Effects. The gritty textures were taken from the pattern on the 2024 season kits and to emphasize the grit shown by the team.

Ascend

This bookend was created for the former company Ascend (now GeoForce). The animation was created in
After Effects and was inspired by the primary function of their software, navigation. It was a great opportunity to collaborate with an outside team who had strong internal design standards.

Get Loud, Go Crew!

A hype loop created to amp Columbus Crew fans up! This was created in After Effects with a combination of 3D camera techniques and lots of warps. I wanted the energy of the graphic to match the excitement felt in the stadium.

MGK Scream!!!

This hype crowd prompt features local Cleveland musician MGK. This was edited in Premiere and brought to life in After Effects. The wild patterns and colors were meant to get the home crowd pumped.

Playoff Bound

This graphic was created to celebrate the Browns victory over the Jets in the final regular season game. I collaborated with the design team to bring their look to life.

KentCore Intro

This is an intro for the Kent State show KentCore I produced while in college. With this graphic I wanted to capture the essence of rocking out while fitting withing out design guidelines. 4 years later and they are still using this to kick off awesome shows for local artists.

Bumpin'

This was one of the many pieces featured in my senior thesis project, Mish Mash. The goal of this project was to capture various moods through the medium of motion graphics. This piece celebrates the feeling of jamming out in your room.

Dog Gone Tired

This was another one of the many pieces featured in my senior thesis project, Mish Mash. The goal of this piece was to recreate the feeling of loss. This poor puppy has been through a lot and frankly is dog gone tired.

Quiet Please

This is a hush prompt for the Cleveland Browns on offensive drive. One of the main responsibilities for scoreboard departments of professional sports teams is influencing energy in the stadium. With this graphic, the goal was to quiet the crowd so that the offense could hear play calls, snaps, and call-outs.

Looping Wizard

This was a looping visual created for Kent Core as they hosted the local Kent band 'Wet Magic'. All the pieces created were designed in Illustrator then imported into After Effects. Using character animatic techniques, what once was stagnant wizard came to life. As he casts spells displaying his magical prowess, the band rocks out.
