Animation

Role: Motion Designer / Animation + 3D Inserts
Partners: Hamblin Imagery (storyboard, edit and audio)

Brief
Translate a client storyboard into a polished, on-brand film that clearly communicates the proposition in a tight runtime.

What I did

  • Interpreted and refined the storyboard into shot-by-shot motion.

  • Built the animation in After Effects, adding Cinema 4D elements where 3D depth helped clarity/impact.

  • Established visual rhythm, transitions, and info hierarchy to support the narrative.

  • Prepared clean hand-off for Hamblin’s audio finish.

Key responsibilities

  • Typography, iconography, and layout for readability.

  • Timing and pacing to match VO/music beats.

  • 2.5D/3D moments for emphasis.

  • Brand alignment: colour, motion grammar, and graphic language.

Technical highlights

  • After Effects animation & compositing

  • Cinema 4D elements for key shots (model/animate/light → passes to AE)

  • Precomp structuring for fast revisions; export pipeline for editorial hand-off

Outcome
A crisp, storyboard-faithful film that communicates the message clearly and feels cohesive across motion, graphics, and selective 3D, ready for presentation, web, and social placements.
