Clinched announcement

To celebrate the Los Angeles Kings Playoff berth, I cut and animated this piece to reveal our playoff branding to our fans in-arena and on social media.

BREAKDOWN

PROCESS:

The Los Angeles Kings partnered with local artist DJ Flint for a song that would serve as a rallying cry for their playoff run. To begin, I used Blender to craft city environments to build out the base of the edit. From there, I transferred these concepts to After Effects, where I applied motion design to city cutout elements. Finally, I pieced this together in Premiere to add sound design considerations for arena and social media mediums.

RESULTS:

This intro was nominated for 'Best Music Video' at the 2025 Golden Matrix Awards, along with
being a part of the 'Best Overall Production - Hockey' winning submission

This video showcases how I tied this branding into our playoff arena open:
