Videogame Crosstalk Intro Animation

With a  successful audio-only podcast, Anthony from Videogame Crosstalk was looking to get into video to expand their footprint. To do so, he knew he needed to use the musical sting that opens every podcast episode and pair it with an eye-catching animation to open his videos with.

I don’t do much with motion graphics, but I was happy to hear what Anthony was looking for to mark VGXT’s video debut, and considered it against what I knew I could do. “Sure,” I said, “let’s give this a shot, and if you don’t like it, then you don’t have to pay and I’ll recommend you to someone else.”

Fortunately, I think that the animation came out great. From his basic idea he had in his head through looking at the rest of the branding and pairing it with the music, we made a sick opener that we can both be proud of.

 

Look for it in front of VGXT’s first video on Destiny Lore, coming soon!

Behind The Counter – Episode 12

Behind The Counter returns from a couple weeks away to talk about conventions, movies, and Wrestlemania, plus regular features Stud or Dud? and What’s in Your Disc Tray?

Regular panelist Dave Mann was unable to make it to this episode’s taping, so once the topic of conversation turned to video games I hopped in as the fourth panelist. I always enjoy a chance to be on-screen with this group – and Tyler needed a bit of help from the anti-PlayStation crowd on this one!
