Art-Directable Animated Sequences for Films and BrandsDavid Silva
I create animated sequences for films and brands with a strong focus on art direction and visual design. Whether the idea is fully formed or still developing, I collaborate closely with clients to shape the look early on using design boards and art-directable workflows. My process blends 2D and 3D tools like After Effects, Cinema 4D, ZBrush, and AI tools, allowing for a wide stylistic range—from expressive, stylized motion to detailed, sculptural work—tailored to each project’s needs.
What's included
Design Board
A Design Board is a curated visual guide that outlines the look and feel of an animated piece. It includes key frames, style references, color palettes, typography, and compositional direction to align the visual approach before production begins. It helps ensure everyone’s on the same page creatively.
Video Files
Final video files are the fully rendered, ready-to-use animated sequences delivered in the required formats. These usually include high-resolution masters (like ProRes or DNxHD), web-friendly versions (such as MP4), and any alternate aspect ratios or cutdowns agreed upon. All files are optimized for their intended platforms, whether film, broadcast, or digital.
FAQs
Yes—each step is collaborative. I’ll check in with you after the moodboard and design board phases before moving forward, so the direction always feels aligned.
A brief is ideal, but not required. If you already have a concept, script, or visual references, that’s helpful. If not, we can shape the idea together starting from the moodboard phase.
Timelines vary depending on complexity, but I’ll always share a schedule upfront. On average, a full sequence takes anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks.
Small tweaks are totally fine. Larger revisions might need extra time or cost, especially if they involve reworking the design. We’ll keep things clear as we go.
By default, I deliver final video files in the formats you need. If you’d like project files too, we can arrange that—just let me know at the start.
The moodboard is about inspiration—colors, textures, and references to get aligned on tone. The design board shows actual frames from your project and defines the final visual style.
