Client: Viaplay
My Role: Senior Motion Designer
Project Overview: Promo Edit with motion graphics to promote the latest films on the Viasat channel.
My Contribution:
In collaboration with the senior producer at Viaplay, I played a pivotal role in crafting a segment of the promo that served as the thematic centerpiece: Fear, Love, and Hope. This segment, although not technically a title sequence, was treated as such in terms of its importance and impact.

Together, we ensured that the segment was emotive and seamlessly integrated with the overall narrative of the promo.

My Contribution:
As a member of a dynamic team of approximately four designers, under the leadership of Nick Benns, an award-winning director, I contributed to several scenes in the sequence. Leveraging my expertise in special effects, puppetry animation, grading, and more, I brought various elements to life. Among my favourites was crafting the cityscape with falling meteors, a visually striking shot. Additionally, when a role needed to be filled last minute, I stepped up and starred as the pregnant man in one scene, channelling my inner Arnie..

Having won the pitch, I took on the responsibility of creating the title sequence based on my initial storyboard. However, during the project, I faced a personal tragedy with the passing of my Mum.

It was truly a testament to teamwork and support during a challenging time.
THE VANISHING TRIANGLE
Client: Red Bee Media
My Role: Senior Motion Designer
Project Overview: The Vanishing Triangle 30-second title sequence for a new series based on true events.
My Contribution:
It was a true honour to be approached by Red Bee to craft the latest title sequence for their show, 'The Vanishing Triangle,' based on a gripping true story. Armed with a few style frames and a hand-drawn rough storyboard, I was tasked with creating a captivating sequence. The vision was clear: a red line on a map leading to a triangle, encapsulating the unsettling and sinister undertones of the drama without revealing too much. I utilized abstract lines to represent the contoured map, effectively conveying the mood of an Irish community haunted by a series of murders.
