Pangraphica

Working together on Pangraphica, my partner and I have introduced custom motion graphics to every project we have embarked on. We tailor fit custom lower thirds and titles to give your videos a sense of continuity and to help strengthen your brand. Not every project requires 3D animation, a simple logo reveal or ident is just as effective. However, more customers are opting for 3D.

Due to the rise of social media, corporations have seen the value of motion graphics, particularly 3D, to engage with their established and future customers.

This is a short demo-reel showcasing some of the work where we have implemented motion graphics. Our customers are happy with the attention to detail we bring to every project. We both have design and marketing backgrounds, these skill sets are essential for the product we provide.

Gordie Howe International Bridge Project

I love all the projects I have worked on, however working on the Gordie Howe International Bridge Project (GHIB) has been the highlight and it’s one of my favourites. I think the complexity of the work we have done for Windsor Detroit Bridge Authority (WDBA) keeps everything fresh; not only have we covered events, interviews and news, we have been in the field filming and photographing the wind tunnel testing and construction of GHIB. We work closely with WDBA communications department on every step of a production and not only have they been extremely happy with the result, but also for the motion graphics that we have brought to the production. In particular, the Annual Public Meeting Presentation videos have been positively received, and are the highlight of the events. There has always been a positive reaction from the members of the audience. Our work for WDBA has also been highlighted by CTV News.

The linked video is an example of one of our video productions, the 2019 APM. “Building Foundations” was the theme and is image driven. I worked on the 3D title, Four Components and the video wall and end titles.

Inteplast Group IBS Grocery/Retail

Our client required a video review of 2021, they provided all the images. The premise of the video was to highlight the difficulties they faced during the COVID-19 lockdowns. The initial idea was to reflect living and working in box and how they broke out the box to exceed in sales, despite the lockdown.  A box was the hero of this project, however there were a lot of images to show, so we had to think outside of the box. No pun intended. I wanted the animation to flow through the video with the narration, the video needed to be 3 minutes long, so there wasn’t much time for transitions. So, it needed to move fairly quickly. There was a lot to iron out during the process and constant communication was key. I’m really pleased with the outcome.

Fast turnaround for TERSANO

Our friends at Tersano were in a bit of a quandry. Due to the pandemic, sales for their product iClean mini had increased. The product is an alternative to conventional off-the-shelf cleaning products, which are used for sanitizing work surfaces. The problem they had was that their current blow-up diagram didn’t reflect the product and they had received feedback from their customers. They needed to act quickly so this had to be a fast turnaround as they needed to update their website quickly.

I picked up the job on that evening and had the diagram delivered to them the next day. I reproduced this in Adobe Illustrator, there was no template available so everything had to be built from scratch and all I had to work on were reference shots and the original diagram as a guide.

Traci Gould’s Memory Book

In loving memory of our dear friend Traci. We had the idea of creating a book of memories that we could share with her family back in Australia. The illustration was Mary Poppin themed, as Traci was everyone’s favourite Nanny.

Doug and Andy’s Wedding

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Both avid Doctor Who fans, they wanted the ilustration to reflect this. I took a cue from the Doctor Who episode, The Big Bang.
