Motion Graphics Designer and Camera AC

In 2021, I had the distinct privilege of serving as the Motion Graphic Designer for the Windows 11 launch video, a pivotal project introducing the new Windows 11 to the world. This was my first project with my current team, and I was responsible for creating all of the UI animations that brought the video to life.

  • UI Animation Creation: I meticulously designed and animated every UI element featured in the video, ensuring that each interaction and transition was smooth, engaging, and reflective of the new Windows 11 user experience. My goal was to highlight the elegance and functionality of the operating system, making it appealing to both new and existing users.
  • On-Set AC Support: In addition to my animation responsibilities, I provided Assistant Camera (AC) support during the video production shoots. This role required me to ensure that all equipment was properly set up and functioning, assisting the camera crew in capturing high-quality footage that seamlessly integrated with the animated UI elements.
  • Collaboration and Innovation: Working closely with a talented team of designers, developers, and videographers, I contributed to a collaborative environment where creativity and precision were paramount. This project demanded not only technical proficiency but also an innovative mindset to effectively convey the groundbreaking features of Windows 11.

The result was a visually stunning and dynamic video that successfully showcased the new features and capabilities of Windows 11. It was an incredible experience to be part of such a significant launch, and I am proud of the contributions I made to this landmark project.
