The theme for Converge 25 was "Mem (Members) in Black", inspired by the 1997 fiIm.
I was provided a script for each speaker, along with the logos for the event and the final lockup layout. I started by rewatching the original film and taking notes on what types of screens and design elements I could utilize. I then started building out the main shot of the oval and text boxes in Illustrator, and sent those as styleframes for approval. Once the layout was set, I imported everything into After Effects and started timing things out with the voice over, which was created with ElevenLabs by another member of my team. I pulled publicly available assets of Charles and his books from the internet, along with relevant logos.
Once the animation was complete, I sent it off for a final sound pass by my team. When this speaker's video was approved by the client I duplicated it so that it could become a template for the remaining 7 speakers for the event.
The theme for Converge 24 was "Back to the Future", inspired by the 1985 film. I created 10 keynote intros for the event.
The theme for Converge 23 was once again "Mission Impossible", but with a focus on the new films style. I created 10 keynote intros for the event.
The theme for Converge 22 was "Mission Impossible", with a focus on the 1996 film and a CRT tech look. I created 10 keynote intros for the event.
