What’s up?

While working at NBC 7, we launched apps on Apple TV and Roku and began creating OTT content specifically for these platforms, in addition to funneling in archived broadcast clips. “What’s Up?” is one part of this video roll-out, where I designed and created templates from scratch to bring a modern and social feel to a quick rundown of broadcast stories.

The following videos are ordered from most recent to oldest, to see how much the series has evolved and adapted — including text details, transition structures, and even its name.
