Motion Design

I design motion that makes ideas stick — animation, visual effects, and story-driven video that turns information into something people watch.

Motion design sits between animation and storytelling. I build character animation, visual effects, and composited video that carry a concept instead of just illustrating it. The goal is motion people actually finish — whether it’s an explainer, a title sequence, or a 3D rendered scene.

In-Depth Use Cases

Two explainers that refused to be boring — a 3D character-rigged APR story, and a disaster-recovery video staged as an alien invasion, a zombie apocalypse, and a feline hacker.

Case 01 / 02

APR Overview

Cinema 4DCharacter RigExplainer3D Animation

The Project

A full 3D character rig for an APR Overview explainer. I rigged a custom dog in Cinema 4D to carry a concept most people tune out. In the video, the dog’s owner is trying to buy a house and doesn’t understand APR. The dog walks him through it so he can finally land his dream home — and his dream lawn. Custom animated characters turned a financial definition into a story, instead of a slide of dry bullet points.

Business Purpose

APR is required knowledge for anyone talking about a loan, and it is also one of the fastest ways to lose an audience. The business needed people to actually understand the concept — not click play on a voiceover over text. A character-driven explainer was the way to get a dull finance topic to the end of the video.

My Role

I designed the story, the characters, and the 3D build. I rigged the dog in Cinema 4D, animated the performance, and structured the explainer so the financial concept rode on the relationship between the dog and the owner — not a glossary. The lawn at the end isn’t a joke for its own sake; it’s the payoff that makes APR feel like it matters.

The Build

The dog is a custom Cinema 4D rig — controls for performance, not a stock character dropped on a timeline. Owner, house, and lawn are built to support the beats: confusion, explanation, payoff. Animation carries the teaching. There are no kinetic-type bullets standing in for a story. If the viewer remembers the dog, they remember APR.

Impact

A finance explainer people finished. APR stuck because it was attached to a character and a house hunt, not a definition. Teams could point new hires at a three-minute story instead of a live walkthrough of the same concept, and the video became the example of how to teach a dull topic without putting the room to sleep.

Case 02 / 02

Disaster Recovery

After EffectsCompositingVFXExplainer

The Project

A short training video on the disaster recovery process — with actual disasters. I combined B-roll of the corporate campus with royalty-free stock and composited visual effects to stage alien invasions, a zombie apocalypse, and feline hackers. The tone stayed light on purpose. A dry process explainer became a high-quality VFX piece that learners wanted to watch.

Business Purpose

Disaster recovery only matters on the day it matters, which is exactly when nobody wants to be hearing the process for the first time. The business needed a video people would actually finish — and remember — so the steps were already in their head before the real thing showed up. Humor was the delivery system; the process was still the point.

My Role

I owned the concept, the tone, and the composite. Campus B-roll and stock footage became the plates; After Effects did the invasions. I kept the disasters ridiculous on purpose — aliens, zombies, cats with laptops — so the video never felt like a fear lecture, and so the recovery steps had something memorable to stick to.

The Build

Live plates of the actual campus, stock footage where we needed scale, and After Effects composites for the disasters. Aliens over the parking lot, zombies in the lobby, feline hackers at the terminals. The cut stays short and light. VFX is there to make the process unforgettable, not to turn a training video into a feature film.

Impact

People watched a disaster-recovery video on purpose. The process stuck because it was attached to a joke they retold — and when a real incident hits, muscle memory from a video they actually finished is worth more than a policy they never opened. It also gave L&D proof that a required explainer can compete with the things people choose to watch.
