Motion Graphics for Covert Devotion: The Aurora Ritter Story
2024
“Womcom Media’s current documentary production, COVERT DEVOTION: THE AURORA RITTER STORY, is the true WWII-era story of Aurora Ritter, an Alabama school teacher who is deceived by her German-immigrant husband, Nikolaus Ritter, when he emerges as the leader of one of the largest enemy spy rings in American history. Over 20 years later, Aurora taught 8th grade English, and Greg Womble was one of her students.”
For Covert Devotion, I created a total of 7 map animations using period-accurate maps of the world. These maps were designed by hand, as well as all of the textures, lighting, animation, and other miscellaneous elements.
Motion Graphics and Title Cards for A Slam That Saves
2022
This is some of the work I created while working on the documentary A Slam That Saves.
The map animations were created from scratch using adobe Photoshop, After Effects, and Sketchbook Pro. These map animations where played anytime a location was mentioned.
The title cards were created using Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and footage from the documentary.
Sensationalization Station (2023)
Senior capstone
Dr. Hollis original sketch | July 2022
Sensationalization Station is a mini series that follows Dr. Hollis, a rat, as he makes a web series with the same title. This web series highlights the dangerous ways in which research can be misinterpreted and misconstrued by news outlets and social media in order to gain more attention. In each episode, he takes a piece of research, sensationalizes it himself by making a fake newscast, then breaks down what specifically was misinterpreted or simply false.
While the idea was to make a mini series for the purpose of my capstone, Sensationalization Station switched to only one episode. The hardware requirements proved to be too much to render a photorealistic rendering of the show and the time requirements of making a show on your own proved too much as well.
Dr. Casey Hollis (felt) | December 2022
After some time, I began working on other 3D projects, primarily decorative art.
The show has since halted development as my advisors felt I met more than the requirements for my capstone with the work I had done.
Additionally, the show halted development when I discovered a love for 3D design and industrial design. To view some of these designs, view the links down below.
