Live Studio Production
About
ticker.
ticker. is a cutting-edge web studio production concept aimed at informing young people about critical issues.
The pilot episode focuses on „Article 13“ of the European Union and examines the various impacts it has on the creative industry.
A Design
to stand out
I was responsible for the visual design of the show. After presenting several options and directions, the team decided to adopt a glitch aesthetic approach. I then refined this aesthetic and incorporated it into all the animations used throughout the show.
-
Logo
The logo for the show was designed to be simple yet effective, with the name of the show prominently featured. To give it a unique touch, I incorporated a wifi-style detail on the „t“ to represent the web show aspect of the production. This subtle nod to the digital nature of the show helped to make the logo immediately recognizable and memorable.

Signet
The signet minimizes the logo to the letter ‚t‘ and is used as an overlay element as well as a logo for social media and other formats that require a simpler logo.
-
Glitch Effect
The glitch effect on the logo is achieved by separating it into its base colors (red, green, blue), shifting them and using a negative multiplication effect to create a white center. This technique adds a dynamic and modern feel to the logo, fitting the web show format of the production.

Background Glitches
The backgrounds for the show were created using analog TV glitches and distortions similar to those found on a tube television, in order to create a stark contrast with the web-based format of the show.
Green Screen
Keying
Green screen keying is a technique used in video production to superimpose a subject onto a different background. The subject is filmed or photographed in front of a green screen, and the green background is then replaced with a different image or video in post-production. This can be used to create the illusion of a subject being in a different location or to add special effects to a scene.
In our case, we used this technique to create a humorous video about a man representing the Internet, who lives in the void and shares his perspective on the topic with the studio guest. I was responsible for the keying and animation of this clip, ensuring that the final product was seamless and visually appealing.
Motion
Graphics
To explain the concept of Article 13, I created a short explanatory video using animated illustrations. All animations were created using Adobe AfterEffects in conjunction with Adobe Illustrator. We also included a professional voice-over and precisely synced the animations to the audio cues.
Primary
Camera Man
As the primary cameraman for this small live web show, I was responsible for capturing all the action on set. I operated the camera, which had a teleprompter attached, and made sure to frame the shot and focus on the right subject to create visually stunning and engaging footage. I was able to respond quickly and smoothly to requests from the show’s director, moving between different camera angles and positions with ease, ensuring that the final product was polished and professional. My work behind the camera greatly contributed to the success of the show and the positive feedback it received from viewers.
