ESPN Radio : Carlin vs. Joe

In September 2023, ESPN Radio launched two new shows, one for the AM and one for the PM slot, produced by Block and Tackle. Our goal was to create new animation packages for both shows. I was tasked with animating and managing the PM show, Carlin vs. Joe.

Carlin vs. Joe features Chris Carlin and Joe Fortenbaugh as co-hosts, engaging in in-depth discussions on various sports topics, including breaking news, game analyses, player performances, and other significant events in the sports world.

Adhering to ESPN's brand guidelines, we completed the animations and delivered the project files. The animation package included the opening, closing, rejoining, and transitional moments. Additionally, the closing, rejoining, and transitional animations were created in two alternative versions.
