Graphics for Video

Need motion graphics for a background? Or a graphics package for a show on YouTube? Maybe an animation to help explain your message? Or maybe you just need to edit out something from video you've already shot...like a dog photo-'bomb'-ing your lawn in the background?

Other services I offer are video editing, and rotoscoping. (FYI, for Profiles in Music, I created the graphic packages; my husband Schoen actually did the editing for this show. Credit where credit's due, right?) Everything else on this page, the editing/timing is mine.

Examples of rotoscoping will be coming soon. In the past, I've used rotoscoping to pull fan dancers from a background of...more fan dancers, fix bad or non-existent chromakey, remove distracting background elements from already edited videos, all the way to fixing a talking head video that was "we get one shot to do this" and the producer didn't realize until the show was in editing that the 'talking head' moved - a LOT, and it was horribly distracting. I created a background, and used rotoscoping to make his movements less distracting. Unfortunately for me, I do not have access to these, and I must recreate similar examples to include.

Below are examples of motion graphics I've created, usually as packages. If you're just starting a show, and question what you need, or are looking for a 'look', I can consult with you to help design it from the ground up or, I can work with the graphics you may already have, and refresh them.

Let me help you take your video productions to the next level!

It started out on a notebook page, and ended as an intro/outro/titles package for a show set to stream on YouTube.

Unfortunately for me, the work I've done previously with rotoscoping isn't in the public domain, it never will be, and I'm not at liberty to share it. I did the next best thing: I picked the hardest thing I could think of, or could find: A Korean fan dancer against other Korean fan dancers. What you see cut out took me three hours. The projects I worked on previously were meticulously done, and I had two to six weeks to complete them. If I can do that in three hours, imagine what I could do with your project! If you have something hard, or something someone's told you is "impossible" - try me!

Opener for the Hanover Symphony, for their Spring Concert (the recording was for their internal use)

Chromakeying

Opener for a YouTube show currently beginning production.

This package included an intro and outro, and a simple six-second sting to be used when it *wasn't* the holiday season. Additionally, I aided the client by editing their video, too, as they found editing it more challenging than the actual content was.

We provide yearly support to the Hanover Lancers Drum and Bugle Corps. My husband and I shoot the video; he edits it, and I do the intro/outro and lower thirds. It's a labor of love, and all time for *this* one is volunteer.

Example of a simple map animation that started out life as a vector graphic in Ilustrator, and finished up animated in

After Effects.

A short animation encouraging people to vote.

I did the opener and the background, the

photo segments, and color correction of the

photos.

While this particular video was posted only five months ago, it's an update to a video I worked on. It was a collaboration, and I did much of the non-character illustration work, and some of the animation.

I did the animation with the map

and little car at 1:02 - 1:17.

The animation I did starts at 11:18. I did the entire animation, start to finish: the animation, compositing and editing. It took 5 months to do, and 9 machines two entire weeks to render in high-quality. 3d's not my forte, so I'm proud of this, and how it turned out.
