Crypto Scandal Explainer Video (Motion Graphics Design Focused)

This project was a deep dive into the turbulent US crypto scene – from the SEC's crackdown to Trump's surprising pivot on digital assets, focusing heavily on the Ripple/XRP saga. For this client, who was just launching their channel, everything had to be built from the ground up. This wasn't just an edit; it was about establishing their visual identity and delivering a flagship piece that screamed credibility.

Over more than 10 intensive days, I immersed myself in the research-heavy script, storyboarding how to translate dense legal battles and shifting political winds into compelling visuals. Adobe After Effects was my workhorse here. Since we were starting fresh, I developed a complete motion graphics package, including a dynamic title sequence, custom text treatments for key information, and conceptual animations to visualize abstract ideas like the 'regulatory hurricane' or the dramatic shift in political sentiment. For instance, illustrating the multi-year SEC vs. Ripple timeline with clarity, or showing Trump's evolving stance through transforming graphics, required significant After Effects work.

This was a challenging but incredibly rewarding build. Seeing the client's vision come to life, and knowing we'd created something so thoroughly visualized and professional from a blank slate, made every single minute of that intensive effort completely worth it. The goal was to make complex information engaging and clear, and I believe the heavy lifting in After Effects was key to achieving that for their brand new platform.
