Sports graphics for WKRG and personal projects.

Some of the many monitor graphics I've made at WKRG.

H.M.S. Pinafore is a comedic operetta, so I animated fun watercolor illustrations to emulate a stage behind Cherish and Dr. Rowell. I used this motif for the interview's VO and fullscreen and topped it all off with a custom curtain call transition.

Open animation for "True Crime with Summer Poole" created in After Effects.

I designed these infographics in Photoshop, then brought all the elements into After Effects to animate and time them to the script. Had to collaborate with the producer, director, and anchor for the finished product. The timing was the most difficult part, but I think it came together rather well on air.

For WKRG's Your Hometown series, I created the logo, monitor graphics, animations, live boxes, and lower thirds. This video includes just a few examples of all the graphics, including my favorite, the "pin drop" animated transition. Jim McLean of WKRG Marketing created the original pin animation. I combined it with my logo and the postcard background and masked out the center of the pin to create a fun transition.

For this story, I created all of the graphics and animations. Simone Eli won the ABBY award for "Best in Broadcasting 2024 – Sports Reporting" from the Alabama Broadcasters Association for this story!

I created the looping monitor graphic seen behind Jonathan Young. Photographer Lee Atherton set up the amazing shot!

I designed the logo (based on News 5's primary logo), open animation, in-stream graphics, and social media/TV graphics for "News 5 NOW," WKRG's digital show streamed on WKRG.com and Facebook. Together with WKRG's engineering team, we set up scenes in OBS for displaying title screens, comments, images, transitions, videos, and more. This project was truly a team effort, as I designed the graphics, the engineering team set up all the equipment and lighting, the digital teams works daily to create content for the stream and get it running online, and the news director and anchors write the scripts and put on a great show.

I got to do something a little different for this project. I painted John Nodar on a pumpkin for "Scarecrows in the Gardens" at Bellingrath Gardens & Home, and then appeared on the Red Couch with John and Bill to talk about my painting!
