What you actually get.
Motion is brand identity that moves. A logo animation, a social ad, a 60-second brand piece — short, punchy, exported for every channel. After Effects for the animation, Premiere for the editing, finished with a license-cleared music track.
I keep motion projects tight in scope on purpose. Long-form video and big production needs a director, a crew, a colourist. I do the design-driven motion piece — the logo reveal, the explainer, the social cut.
A typical motion project from me includes:
- Concept directions — two stylistic approaches sketched before animating
- Storyboard — frames showing the key beats of the chosen direction
- Animation — full motion build in After Effects
- Music track — licensed track sourced from libraries (Artlist, Musicbed, Epidemic Sound)
- Format exports — square (1:1), vertical (9:16), landscape (16:9) for every channel
- Transparent MOV — for overlay use on existing footage
- Source files — After Effects project file, organised
How we get there.
Motion is fastest when reference is clear up front.
- Brief — duration, channels, mood, references. References are crucial — send links
- Concept — two stylistic directions in stills or short loops
- Storyboard — chosen direction beat-by-beat
- Animate — full motion build. One round of structural feedback
- Polish — sound, easing, final colour. One more round
- Export — all formats delivered, source file included
What it doesn't include.
Things I don't include:
- Filming or live-action — I do motion graphics, not video shoots. Bring me the footage
- Voiceover talent — I can recommend voice artists; their fee is separate
- Translation / subtitling — English-language; subtitles in other languages quoted separately
- Long-form video editing — beyond ~3 minutes goes per-minute (R900/min for cuts + colour + graphics)
Who this is for.
This is for brand-led motion under 90 seconds — logo animations, social ads, explainer-style intros, marketing videos. If you have shot footage that needs editing, I do that per-minute.
If you need a 5-minute corporate video with multiple talking heads, b-roll, and live-action — that's a video production project. I can recommend partners.
Examples.
Motion examples will be added to Selected Work as videos. In the meantime, WhatsApp me and I'll send recent reels directly.
