Hunter: Garagefor World of Darkness, with Outstar

Hunter: The Reckoning 5e published by World of Darkness

World of Darkness approached me after seeing my work for Vampire: The Masquerade creators. I designed the trailer and opening credits for Hunter: Garage, with Outstar as Storyteller.

Dark Tide: Rising Watersfor AdventureTavern

Vaesen published by Free League

For AdventureTavern’s Vaesen series, I designed the brand, broadcast graphics, trailer and opening titles. Michael Vignola’s music shaped the pacing and the sense of unease in the opening.

Legacy of Bullsfor LilytheGM

Vampire: The Masquerade V5 published by World of Darkness

Legacy of Bulls is set in Birmingham. I wanted the city’s character to come through while retaining the Vampire: The Masquerade aesthetic. I designed the trailer, branding and broadcast overlays together. It’s still one of my favourite videos.

ATL by Nightfor Gehenna Gaming

Vampire: The Masquerade V5 published by World of Darkness

ATL by Night already had an audience and an ongoing story. I chose a hip-hop track to reflect its Atlanta setting, cut the animation to the beat and used the end of the trailer to reveal the new identity I had designed.

Daybreak City Nightsfor AdventureTavern

Dungeons & Dragons 5E published by Wizards of the Coast

AdventureTavern wanted a neon, 90s look for this D&D series. The large cast was the main challenge: I had to introduce each character without letting the opening drag.

VtM: New Bloodfor VancouverbyNight

Vampire: The Masquerade V5 published by World of Darkness

I’m a fan of Ardie Son’s compositions and already had a track in mind when VancouverbyNight approached me. That music informed the trailer, opening credits and brand identity.

Masks of Nyarlathotepfor Gehenna Gaming

Call of Cthulhu 7e published by Chaosium

Gehenna Gaming gave me creative freedom on the intro trailer, opening graphics and outro for Masks of Nyarlathotep. I made the intro dark and atmospheric, then used a more disjointed outro to leave viewers uneasy. These remain two of the pieces I’m proudest of.
