Motion Design — Weekly Retainer Ben Weeks
Here is the rewritten version:
Motion Design & Art Direction — Contract Services
I provide high-fidelity motion design and art direction for brands that need precision, narrative depth, and technical range. With over 20 years of freelance work spanning broadcast, digital, OOH, and branded content, I've delivered for clients including Disney, BMO, TD Bank, Canada Goose, RBC, and Microsoft — across regulated financial industries, national advertising campaigns, and government-backed communications.
My background combines motion design with storyboarding, on-set production, and illustration, which means I can take a project from concept through delivery without relying on additional creative resources for foundational assets.
Built for Creative Teams
I work best when embedded in an existing creative operation. I partner with designers, marketers, and creative directors to take established plans, wireframes, or concepts and execute them with professional movement and purposeful craft. Whether you're working within strict brand guidelines or building visual language from the ground up, the output will be polished, on-brand, and production-ready.
Core Capabilities
Fintech & Financial Services — Explainer videos, UI/UX motion walkthroughs, branch and DOOH display content, and internal communications for highly regulated industries. Current and past work includes branch screen deployments for BMO across Canada and OOH placements at Dundas Square and First Canadian Place.
Broadcast & Campaigns — Storyboarding, on-set art direction, and motion delivery for national TV and multi-channel campaigns. Credits include a national broadcast campaign for Horizons ETF and board work for McCann and Ordinary Folk (formerly Buck.tv).
Non-Profit, PSA & Government — Narrative-driven storytelling for public awareness and social impact. Includes work for ACIC, a Foreign Affairs Canada–backed NGO, and earlier broadcast PSA contributions.
Social & Digital Content — Concept-to-delivery motion for paid social, organic content, and web, including CSR campaigns and brand identity animation.
OOH & Environmental — Scaling and adapting creative for Digital-Out-of-Home and large-format display environments, including bilingual assets for Quebec markets.
