FAQs: Motion Design & Animation
I am often asked about the kinds of motion graphics I do and thought it would be fun to put together a compilation reel presented as if it's a text conversation with clients.
I am often asked about the kinds of motion graphics I do and thought it would be fun to put together a compilation reel presented as if it's a text conversation with clients. I've worked on a wide variety of videos with many different types of clients. However, my most often produced projects fall into the category of "Brand Story & Company Culture" where the brand is seeking to share their mission or values in a fun and engaging way.
SaaS Projects I've done include:
Product Demos
Onboarding Videos
Tutorials
Customer Testimonials
Webinar Cutdowns for long-term posts
Promotional Videos & Ads
Thought Leadership
Recruitment
Video Deliverables I've worked with include:
1920x1080 - this is the typical horizontal HD video you see posted on social media and YouTube
1080x1080 - square videos in HD found on instagram
1600x1200 - referred to as "full screen" videos and technically speaking are 4:3; this format is popularly used on Facebook ads
1080x1920 - vertical video in HD that is the best practice size for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Stories, Instagram Stories, and YouTube Shorts
3840x2160 - commonly understood as 4k or Ultra HD; best suited to televisions and currently best practice for YouTube long form videos

Finding Creative Ways to Solve Problems
As a video editor and motion graphics designer it comes naturally to me to see the world in projected pictures and it is my job to help the client get to their end result. Not everyone can abstractly visualize how something will look…
As a video editor and motion graphics designer it comes naturally to me to see the world in projected pictures and it is my job to help the client get to their end result. Not everyone can visualize how something will look. In this case we were having trouble settling on the right font for the animation and titles that would appear in the dungeons and dragons sizzle reel so I put together this sample set. It worked great! The client was able to see exactly how each option would look and feel with the specific backgrounds and music choices we had already made.
Happy clients, happy life!

I don't use pre-fab templates when creating motion graphics for clients. I like to give them each something unique and on-brand. This doesn't mean I'm not efficient ~ I make great use of pre-sets when they make sense. It means I do know how to operate all of the parameters within Adobe After Effects to get the perfect flow and unique branding for each video.
