While the majority of my day to day responsibilities involve the delivery of on-air motion graphics assets for various sports franchises through pre-established templates, every now and again I was given opportunities exercise my creative muscles like a veritable design QB at pre-season training camp which mostly came in the form of what the company calls Viz or Vizs… essentially data visualization animations that blend data with kinetic storytelling turning, complex sports statistics into comedic and/or highly stylized short animations that reveal stats, insights, and potential narratives developing with their favorite teams and players that engage audiences and are easy to understand. Because these are usually rapidly created often with only a single day of lead time before the game aired while still having other critical deliverable responsibilities they aren’t all the greatest triumphs in design, however when the timing and mood is right, some turn out to be MVPs, like this curated group of selects I’ve personally created from design to animation (and actually AIRED, because sometimes they get pre-empted by game/network time).
