I was thrilled to be invited to design and animate one of the sports interstitials for NBC Sports' coverage of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. These animations were used as interstitials during the broadcast and streaming on Peacock, helping to introduce each sport as it was featured. NBC brought together studios and artists from around the globe to contribute their unique styles, creating a rich and diverse Olympic atmosphere. I had complete creative freedom to produce a unique mixed-media animation for ARTISTIC SWIMMING.
It was a great honor to be part of a project seen by a global audience alongside artists I have always admired. A big thanks to NBC guys for all their support. I learned so much, and you are fantastic!
Design and Animation: Lucas Mariano
Producer: Cara Fitzsimmons
Creative Director: David Barton
NBC also invited me to create a version of the logo animation in my style.
Big thanks to David Barton and Wade Echer for the opportunity and support!
