As the video production lead and designer on Game’s Gone: The Steve Bracknall Podcast, I’m responsible for the show’s entire visual output, from production through to final delivery. Each weekly episode is filmed across a multi-camera setup, then taken through the complete offline and online edit, with graphics, archive and additional video clips incorporated throughout. The entire process — from filming through to final delivery — is completed within a 3.5-day turnaround. I also developed the overall visual identity and creative style for the series, drawing inspiration from the iconic Merlin Premier League sticker books of the early 1990s. To streamline the weekly post-production workflow, I created a suite of custom After Effects MOGRT templates — including lower thirds, clip containers and animated stickers — allowing the graphics to be easily customised and edited directly within Premiere Pro.
