Plan B: Abortion in America

SBS Dateline: 2020-2022

A showcase of the SBS Dateline features I have worked on throughout 2022. I worked with the story producers to design and animate graphics that assisted in displaying important information or story points relevant to each feature.

Plan B: Abortion in America

After 14 US Republican-majority states immediately enacted strict abortion laws following the overturning of Roe v Wade, an underground network of women began helping people access now illegal pregnancy terminations.

I worked with SBS Dateline on the motion graphics of this short feature uncovering the new abortion ban in the US.

Fighting COVID-19 vaccine misinformation

I worked with SBS Dateline producer Darren Mara to create the motion graphics over 3 sequences for his story on the crusaders fighting against COVID-19 vaccine misinformation.

The graphics ranged from full screen information display graphics, newspaper headlines to graphic stat supers that were tracked and comped over footage.

Deadly trip of a lifetime on a COVID-19 cruise

It started out as the holiday of a lifetime and quickly turned into a ship in lockdown, searching for a port in a COVID-19 storm. Dateline charts the story of the MV Greg Mortimer cruise ship that left Argentina three days after coronavirus was declared a pandemic.

 My role in this feature was to create motion graphics that would assist with the storytelling of the piece. This involved creating map designs to illustrate the intended & actual route of the ship, as well as recreations for the documents relate
