KATRINA: Race Against Time

Context

For Hurricane Katrina’s 20th anniversary, National Geographic and Lightbox produced a five-part series from survivors’ perspectives—Liberati supported map- and timeline-heavy sequences.

Strategy

Keep graphics journalistic: legible maps, restrained type, and motion that supports the archive and interviews instead of sensationalizing the disaster.

Solution

Delivered show graphics, 3D map sequences, lower thirds, and title treatments—modular for editors and tuned to Nat Geo’s factual tone.
