Motion Graphics Reel
This is a reel of several motion graphics projects that I’ve worked on: 130R production bumper, Garden TV network id, Chesapeake Bay interstitial, and After Hours title sequence.

It’s only a clip of a song, so it might not be readily recognizable; but it’s an a Cappella cover of Alanis Morissette’s Uninvited [...]

Garden TV
When I was in grad school for my other graduate degree, my mom planted rows of plants on both sides of the sidewalk that led from the front door of my house to the street where the mailbox was. They looked nice, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that the plants actually created a lot of additional work when I mowed the lawn each week because I would have to [...]
