About this service

Summary

Over the years I have established and learned many different techniques to make animation of almost any type of design style possible. There are very little limitations and I always try to get the maximum out of every single cover design – while creating an animation that also suits the vibe of the music of your project.

Process

I take your original cover designs (LP, EP, Single cover – you name it) and turn it into a looping animation.
All I need for that is a high resolution image (preferably an open design file like Photoshop or Illustrator, but JPG images also work) of the original design and I will then take it apart into all the elements that I see fit for animation.
This process includes cutting out the parts of the original design that I want to bring to life, as well as painting back in certain parts of the artwork while maintaining the original style. Afterwards I can take it all into After Effects to start the animation process.
The final loop can then by request be edited into the most common formats for all the relevant online platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.

FAQs

  • How much does this cost?

    The possibilities for animated cover art and especially the amount of work that goes into one animation, depend on a few technical aspects: - What file type does the original design come in? - What is the original art style? - What other technical restrictions are there for me to work around? Therefore the pricing can vary quite a bit. Which is why I would like to ask you to contact me for any details regarding the cost of an animated album cover.

  • Can I give you my ideas and wishes for the animation?

    Of course you can, if you want to! I am always happy to listen to your vision and brainstorm ideas before I get started. And then I will give you my honest opinion on whether or not I think your ideas are executable and/or would look interesting in the end.

  • Can I share the final animation anywhere I want?

    You definitely can (and I will too)! I can deliver a variety of different formats for all kinds of platforms for you to post and share to. All I ask you is to please add my credit on your channels – I will let you know how once I deliver the final animations.

  • Do you also add audio to the final animation?

    Yes. If you send me your music track I will add it to the final animation loop. Just make sure you have the rights to the original music.
