WORK EXPERIENCE

KABAM GAMES

Motion Graphic DEsigner

September 2022 – May 2023

Joining the Player Journey Content Development team, I not only designed and produced short form videos to celebrate the two new superheroes (known as “Champions”) that were added to Marvel Contest of Champions each month, but I created tools within Adobe After Effects to streamline production. This allowed editors with just a basic knowledge of Adobe After Effects to take over our tentpole assets and consistently achieve success with them.

Some of the responsibilities I had in this position were:

  • Short Form Video Content consisting of conceptualizing, templating and producing up to six videos for each month to support “Champion” releases. (see examples below)

  • After Effects Template Building to streamline future production of each video type as well as creating a foundation for similar videos to be made to support other games.

  • Custom After Effects Script Programming to simplify some of the more tedious and sometimes confusing tasks that are necessary to create the videos.

KABAM GAMES

Graphic & Motion Designer

October 2019 – September 2022

As part of the Creative Services team, I was tasked with creating:

  • Motion design for character release assets

  • Game announcements for Marvel Contest of Champions, Disney Mirrorverse, Shop Titans and other games in development at Kabam.

  • Custom end cards for each social platform incorporating overlay buttons added by platforms, such as YouTube, after upload.

The range of videos I worked on included:

  • Special move videos (See Scorpion and Misty Knight examples below)

  • Responsive title motion graphic templates (MOGRTs)

  • Introduction sequences (See Inside the Contest below)

  • Lower third MOGRTs (See Inside the Contest below)

  • Dynamic transitions (See Inside the Contest below)

  • Animated introduction effects to enliven static images of characters or gear.

Assets would be produced for various social media platforms taking into consideration not only each of their aspect ratios and formats but their specific strengths and weaknesses.

I also supported the Graphic Design team in creating static assets such as bio cards, thumbnails and app store screenshots.
