EWTN (ETERNAL WORD TELEVISION NETWORK) – MOTION GRAPHICS

During my final semester of college at Samford University, I worked part time in the studio headquarters of EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) as their On-Air Graphics & Motion Graphics Designer. Reaching 425 million viewers in 160 countries, EWTN is the largest religious media network in the world.


My Work

In my role, I coordinated with the creative director, producers, editors, and others, to develop and design Graphic Packages for on-air use. These included:

  • opening and closing motion graphic sequences
  • animations
  • title designs
  • credits
  • name keys
  • show bumps
  • lower thirds graphics
  • full page backgrounds
  • and other elements depending on the needs of the project

I also designed print materials to support Production & Promotions staff as needed.


My Credits

I worked on both live and pre-recorded television broadcasts, creating Graphics Packages for programs and news coverage such as:

  • Pope Francis’ 2015 visit to the United States
  • six live presidential primary debates leading up to the 2016 election
  • The World Over with Raymond Arroyo
  • EWTN Live
  • EWTN Nightly News
  • Life On The Rock
  • and more

During key internationally live-streamed shows, I sat in-studio with producers and directed the broadcasts into and out of commercial breaks.


Motion Graphics Samples

The following are two motion graphics sequences I made while working at EWTN:

International Eucharistic Congress

This motion graphic was created for branding purposes, and played at the beginning and end of all video interviews recorded at the 51st International Eucharistic Congress.

Global Offices (German Address)

I designed this motion graphic as part of an information campaign to highlight various EWTN offices around the world. Being assigned the German office, I drew inspiration from the flat colors, strong lines, and shape language of the famous German graphic design movement, bauhaus.
