Modern SaaS Explainer Video for File Management Platform
This project focuses on creating a modern SaaS explainer video for a file management platform.
The goal was to simplify a complex system into a clear and engaging visual experience using clean UI animation and structured storytelling.
The challenge:
The product involves multiple layers — file control, security, access management, and automation. Presenting all of this in a short video required a balance between clarity and visual appeal.
The approach:
We focused on a minimal and UI-driven design language. Each scene was crafted to guide the viewer step by step — from problem to solution — using smooth transitions and consistent motion.
The result:
A clean, professional explainer video that communicates the product clearly while maintaining a modern SaaS aesthetic.

NEOL. Making of the Hero
NEOL develops CuGlide™, a copper-based lubricant technology that reduces wear between metal parts.
I recently designed their website. The hero was the hardest part: two gears in contact, with a thin copper film where they meet. That's why I built it in 3D instead of generating it: AI video can't give that level of control and precision.
From the first draft to the live site.
Sleek work!
Attention, Contra people🚨
Only proceed if you're in the mood for a laugh😅
A while ago, I was working with a client who needed lots of video ads every month. And by "lots," I mean 36 videos, 3 hooks each, 2 formats.
That's 216 files. Every. Single. Month.
Sounds like a lot, but we were ready.
THEN... things got interesting.
40 videos. 5 hooks each. 3 formats. Yep, SIX HUNDRED.
In 2 weeks.
And what did we tell the client? "Pff... two weeks? Easy."
Turns out, I was a little too optimistic🙃
This took us over a month. Not exactly our proudest moment.
But hey, that little disaster pushed us to rethink our workflow.
And the system we built? It eventually allowed us to deliver
150 files in just 7 calendar days.
Have you ever underestimated a project's timeline and regretted it later?

The one I experienced was when a client gave me a project and provided a reference she wanted me to use as inspiration to build her website. I quoted her 10-14 days, but she said she needed it done in 5 days. I accepted it because I was desperate to get the project and I needed...
