Breif
I was The Motion Design Lead for the SCADpro collaborative class with WWE of 2024. The Client asked us for a 'Match-up' video for the Royal Rumble 2025 in Indianapolis, along with three lower thirds for the Superstars as they walk out. I was tasked with creating two of the lower third graphics and Helping composite / create the ending visuals in After Effects .

Initial Concepting
For our first task the asked us all to just concept out some pitches with no real wants in mind, and we did so. We split into teams and I was tasked with creating the style frames for 'ICE MOUNTAIN!!!'. Superstars being the warming light that breaks the city out of ice, with the ring at the peak of the mountain to highlight the king of the hill aspect of The Royal Rumble.
Looking back obviously an Ice mountain for Indianapolis would feel a bit off, but I still loved my execution of the concept that me and my team created.
Round 2
The feedback from WWE was great. They asked us to highlight the draw of the city, while also matching the color of their now blue logo.
Lower Thirds Process
For our concept we wanted to match with Royal Rumbles time themes and we really pushed the counting down motif with clocks and matrix numbers.
