motion09 is honored to announce its most recent rock-star in the 2009 lineup – Patrick McDonough!
If you’re a fan of reality television, then you’ve no-doubt seen pixelation – the technique networks often use to hide questionable content. McDonough is known for utilizing this technique in creating the branding for Fox Reality Channel’s original programming.
Brilliant in its simplicity, the pixelation concept represents one of Fox Reality Channel’s largest strategic branding efforts to date, giving them a truly identifiable look for their original content that, according to Lorey Zlotnick, Senior VP of Marketing and On-Air Promotions for Fox Reality, will serve as the visual core for network originals.
Boston native, McDonough is the Creative Director and Founder of PMcD Design – an award winning New York based broadcast design firm with a reel that includes work created for Starz Crash, branding for FOX Reality Channel, TLC and a host of clients including ABC, NBC, ESPN, NGC, Starz, Encore, PBS and WNET.
Most recently, McDonough designed and produced the promotional package for Crash, the first original series created by Starz.
The package needed to convey the essence of the show. The characters have diverse backgrounds – with different destinations ahead, and lives that collide. The series, based on the Academy award winning feature film, features Dennis Hopper among the ensemble cast, and is shot on location in New Mexico.
Elements for the promo package were created using custom footage shot with the Phantom super high-speed, digital camera. This footage included super slow motion (1000fps) sequences of glass shattering and metal twisting, time-lapse footage of the Los Angeles skyline. The show’s logo is projected over myriad surfaces and layered throughout the specialty footage and graphic elements.
PMcD Design provides all phases of broadcast design development – including graphic production, film direction, music/sound design and corporate image.
“PMcD brings an unusual creative process to each project by developing focused partnerships with our clients”, said McDonough. “Every project is given a unique signature that addresses the branding, marketing, and packaging needs of a corporate identity that is competing in a rapidly changing and converged marketplace.”
With every project, PMcD assembles a specialized team of design and production personnel from a rich and diversified talent base to ensure that the right tools and talent are synergistically joined to the right job. The creative team is involved in every facet of design and production ensuring a consistent and original approach from concept development to final execution.
PMcD Design is part of LORI PATE+, a transmedia branding and design group. PMcD continues to create and produce imagery for most of the world’s best clients.
