Real Blackity Talk on CBC Gem2022
Branding, identity, motion.

Aiza and Chris Cargnello reached out to me as they were working on a new show for CBC Gem called Real Blackity Talk. It’s a docu-talk show that shines a spotlight on the perspectives and experiences of Black women and non-binary Black folk in Canada, hosted by sisters Aiza and Kamana Ntibarikure. The subject matter is very real but the tone is fun and celebratory, and they wanted the brand identity to reflect it. 
        I was tasked with creating the visual branding for the show, including the logotype, both static and animated, the intro sequence and the motion graphics for the titles and everything else that moves throughout the episodes.

The first episode of the series. Besides the animated logo, I created the intro sequence, transitions, animated backgrounds, lower thirds, and the end credits.
