John F. Kennedy on the cover of MAD Magazine

www.mattkprovideo.com/2026/04/13/john-f-kennedy-on-the-cover-of-mad-magazine/

This started off as a cover of MAD Magazine cover with President John F. Kennedy, October 1961.

Made with #photoshop and #aftereffects

I of course don’t own the image, I hope this falls under fair use.

I am not profiting off of this. It was just an experiment to challenge my photoshop and after effects skills.

On the Trail of Delusion, Episode 34, Steve Barber on the acoustics evidence,

This podcast/ documentary episode started off as a 1280 by 720 ZOOM Call.

The small format video was upscaled to 4k (3840 by 2160) using Topaz AI.

Then I created the motion graphics with Adobe Photoshop and After Adobe Effects.

Steve Barber is an important figure in the JFK assassination.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_assassination_Dictabelt_recording

He was (IS!) a lifelong JFK buff who heard things in the infamous Dallas Police “Dictabelt” recordings that challenged the conclusions of the House Select Committee on Assassinations that there were sounds of a fourth shot.

He discussed his audio discovery and the stories of his interactions with many legendary figures on both sides of the Kennedy Conspiracy debate.

Book Cover Animation, “Oswald As I knew him”

http://www.mattkprovideo.com/2025/05/18/book-cover-animation-oswald-as-i-knew-him/

This is an un-authorized animated version of the book “Oswald as I Knew Him” written by George de Mohrenschildt (Author), Michael A. Rinella (Editor).

I did NOT do the actual book cover design. I downloaded the book cover artwork off of Amazon.com and cut it up into layers in Adobe Photoshop.

I mainly used the bezier pen tool to isolate the objects into layers. Some of the letter were isolated with Photoshop’s “Magic Wand” tool and other I just typed in using the IMPACT font ( heavily modified through scaling and kerning).

I imported the Adobe Photoshop (dot PSD) file into Adobe After Effects and animated them.

This piece of motion graphics may be used in a future podcast.

“Killing of President Book” Cover, animated

www.mattkprovideo.com/2025/03/01/killing-of-president-book-cover-animated/

This is an (unauthorized) experiment in making an animated book cover.

I took and old internet image of a book cover for Robert Groden’s THE KILLING OF A PRESIDENT and cut it up into Adobe Photoshop layers and animated them in Adobe After Effects.

This may or may not be used in a documentary or ongoing webseries I work on.

This is almost the same project, but rendered in a vertical format.
