As a scenic designer with Clickspring Design, I was part of the team that designed the CNN Quiz Show (Presidential and subsequent editions). I was charged with creating and producing the Warhol-inspired presidential portraits for the show. My responsibilities on this project also included: 3D modeling, lighting, rendering, post-production, and creating digital presentation materials
It’s not easy to get broadcast journalists to admit — on-air — that they do not know the answer to a question. But the news anchors at CNN grabbed the chance to have fun while representing their favorite charities on the CNN Quiz Show: Presidential Edition. This lively spirit inspired the set where Anderson Cooper challenged six anchor-team contestants to put their knowledge on the line in a colorful arena that featured an adaptation of the network’s iconic cubes as podiums. Portraits surrounding the studio allowed the show to shoot 360°. The program aired February 16 from CNN’s New York studios, with a live and loud studio audience.
