"Into each generation a
slayer is born: one girl in all the
world to stand against the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness.
She is the Slayer."

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a cult classic and maybe my favorite television series of all time. I am not an expert in motion design, but as part of a motion class in the fall of my BFA year, I re-did the title sequence in an illustrated and slightly animated style that brings some of the show's charm and its characters out of the 90s and into the present. 

I built all illustrations in Photoshop and animated in Aftereffects.

As an extension to the video, I created a data visualization of all the different types of monsters that Buffy fights throughout the series. Each icon represents a specific creature, villain, or other adversary. I've pulled out the "Big Bad" of each season, and included some themes that act as villains across seasons.
