Life After: A Natural Disaster

CNN's Life After digital video series looks at what life is like after a personal tragedy or change, from losing a spouse to declaring bankruptcy.

I worked with the CNN Motion team to provide background animation and design for Life After: A Natural Disaster, which tells the story of Kyle Haines who tragically lost his husband to the deadly hurricane that struck in 2017. I also designed and animated the text slates that appear at the conclusion of the video.

I created frame by frame animation in Photoshop and animated the text slates through keyframe animation and by applying effects and expressions.
