GAME PRESENTATION

My involvement with game presentation is multifaceted, encompassing elements of producing, directing, and technical directing. I have curated diverse forms of content, from electrifying player introductions and immersive fan experiences to dynamic sponsorship displays. These creative outputs have been instrumental during gameplay breaks and intermissions, enhancing the overall spectator experience.

In addition to this, I have directed a highly skilled team of camera operators and replay assistants, guiding them through the intricate process of capturing exciting and entertaining events for our fans. My leadership ensures a harmonious blend of creativity, technical precision, and fan engagement, crafting an unforgettable and thrilling atmosphere.

Bally | Monkey Knife Fight Signage

These designs were created as in-game advertisement for Bally and Monkey Knife Fight, an owned brand of Bally. The goal behind these animations, were to raise awareness of the brands, and showcase the new ownership of AVP by Bally.

The goal, was to catch the viewers eye, both in-stadium and at home over the broadcast.

Phoenix Mercury

Bally Bet Signage

For the Phoenix basketball arena, there are two very large format boards. During the Mercury games, the signage here is dynamic between pre-game content and in-game content.

For this project, we designed two layouts using the same messaging intended to advertise that both Bally Bet and Monkey Knife Fight were both live in Arizona

UB Men's Basketball

Player Introductions

The designs shown here accompanied player introductions for UB Men's Basketball team. Utilizing a combination of animations that were played in sync with transition elements, we were able to create an atmospheric presentation that had seamless playback, regardless of the starting lineup.

Once the main board animation played through, a camera operator on standby could then display a live shot of the starter entering the court.

Although a simple animation, this proved highly effective at adding to the overall game experience for fans. We saw an uptick in attention and social engagement after implementing this to fill the dead space in between sets during volleyball matches.

Created in a rotating loop, this visualizer appeared to sync with most songs played in the arena, and gave the atmosphere more energy throughout the entire presentation.
