Motion Graphics and Editing oversight

Stage intros for Ignite have to orient the room fast. For Kirk Koenigsbauer's 2019 security presentation, this one needed to tee up a broader story about digital transformation, trust, compliance, and AI-backed cloud solutions without turning into a wall of messaging.
I oversaw post on the piece and worked with Ashley Smith on the motion graphics and edit to keep it sharp and readable. The challenge was scale. There were a lot of ideas to cover, but the intro still had to feel focused enough to land in a live-event setting.
What mattered was finding the right balance between energy and clarity. The final video gave the presentation a stronger opening and framed the bigger conversation around trust and security from the first frame.

• Stage opener: Built to set up Kirk Koenigsbauer's Ignite presentation in a live-event context.
• Motion graphics and editorial: Supervised the post process with Ashley Smith across pacing, transitions, and graphic integration.
• Message framing: Kept the story centered on trust, security, compliance, and AI-backed cloud solutions.
