NBC Sports conducted its first Olympic Upfront Presentation for the upcoming 2008 Summer Games in Beijing on April 27th, 2007. The hour long presentation showcased all the fantastic marketing and branding opportunities the games will have in store for advertisers. Through complete HD coverage, to On Demand Channels, to its many network and cable properties (NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, USA, UNI HD, Telemundo), and to its major hub of information at NBCSports.com, NBC Sports revealed the immense coverage it will offer. All of this information was displayed on large flat-screens and projection displays in Studio 8H, home of Saturday Night Live. For the entire presentation, graphics were created to visually depict all the information set forth. The link contains a sample of 3D graphics used throughout the presentation, modeled, designed, animated and composited by David Barton.

While working for 8 weeks in Torino, Italy for the 2006 Winter Olympics, the next NBC Sports project was just getting started - the highly anticipated first season of Sunday Night Football. Because David Barton and the rest of the NBC Sports Design Staff's full time efforts were spent building out the Olympic design package and managing a team of designers in Italy during the games, NBC commissioned Los Angeles based TROIKA to take the lead on the design conception of Sunday Night Football, as well as the studio show, Football Night In America. They did an amazing job, and handed off a package of still-designed insert items and specific animations. Returning from the Olympics, David Barton, along with a small team of designers, immediately jumped on the project, and versioned out the package for all 32 NFL teams, as well as animating all still items. David Barton specifically worked on versioning out weekly titlecards, lineups, player bios, scoreboards, team transitions, as well as completely animating the insert package and game scorebar. In between time spent versioning in 3D and compositing, he also designed original animations for specific elements of the show. The design package was designed in 1080i HD NTSC, and utilizing Cinema 4D and After Effects. VIEW REEL ( 01:52 / 14MB ) |

David Barton was one of a team of four lead designers, who created the graphic package for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy, broadcasted for 17 continuous days on NBC. The graphic package was created over the course of a year, which included Insert Graphics, Interstitials, Promo Packages, Teasers, Bumpers, Billboard Beds, Sponsored Elements, and many other on-air elements. The majority of the designs were finished from the ground up before the Olympics, and in Italy, during the games, the elements were versioned out and aired with the help of a larger team of designers. All of the design elements were created utilizing a combination of 3D and 2D elements, and designed in native 1080i PAL HD format.
