How It Works

You Bring
the Story.
I Bring
the Motion.

Your ideas, assets, and voice. My systems, craft, and software. Here is what working together looks like.

You Bring

The Raw Material

Your ideas, story, assets, voice over, and brand guidelines. The things that make the piece yours. If your files need work I will let you know upfront.

I Bring

The Motion

Systems and After Effects fluency. The technical and creative craft that turns your raw material into something that moves.

The Process

Six Steps.
No Surprises.

Every step exists because at some point, skipping it cost someone something.

01

Discovery

We get on a call and map the project out. The mood, style, message, goal, timeline, and scope. No assumptions. If something is unclear here it will cost us both later.

02

Animation Outline

A quick and direct map of how I see the motion unfolding. Think of it as a storyboard. Not precious, not polished. Just a clear picture of where we are headed before any real work begins.

03

Asset Prep

Motion needs things built a certain way. Logos need to be broken into parts. Files need to be the right size and format. I fix what needs fixing and flag anything that requires your input.

04

The 80%

The piece goes to 80 percent complete. Everything is moving, the structure is there, the timing is locked. This is a checkpoint, not a final. We make sure the direction is right before polish begins.

Polish

The last 20 percent is where good becomes great. Easing, timing nuance, micro motion, sound design alignment. The stuff that most people cannot name but everyone can feel.

06

Revisions and Delivery

Two rounds of revisions are included in every project. Once we are locked and paid in full, you get your files in the formats you need, ready to use everywhere.
