Franklin's Spark: projection mapping at The Franklin Institute For Ben Franklin's 320th birthday, I was the experiential motion designer on an immersive, projection-mapped installation inside the Benjamin Franklin National Memorial, with Crafted Action. The canvas was a 180-degree dome with deep coffers, ledges, windows, and pillars. I handled concepting, narration and audio direction, prototyping, and the final animation. We couldn't test at full scale early, so we rebuilt the space in TouchDesigner and After Effects to preview it virtually. Full case study: motionbynick.com/work/franklinsspark

A Halloween type study. One line, eight typefaces, eight ghosts. Each frame holds the same words and composition while the letterform, palette and figure change, from blackletter to dot-matrix to brush script.

I designed every frame in Figma, then used AI image-to-video to hallucinate the transitions between them, so the type melts, drips and reforms into the next face while the ghost dissolves into smoke and re-forms. The result loops like a bad dream that keeps changing its mind.

Made for 31 October.

Taste Test: Bounce vs. Blueprint

Two 30-second motion pieces in two very different design languages, randomly drawn from a list of 60 styles.

Sprout: Flat Design A houseplant-care app told with bright, shadowless shapes and springy bounce-in motion. Friendly icons, a weekly watering chart, a testimonial bubble and a “Pick your pal” shop all pop in with a circle wipe between scenes.

Atelier Nord: Modernism An architecture studio told with restraint. Line drawings build themselves, from a house elevation to a floor plan, in a warm grey, black and off-white palette with a single orange accent. Clean type and sliding wipes keep it calm and precise.

One format, two moods: playful and rounded vs. quiet and exact.
