About this service

Summary

You'll be guided through the whole process of video creation by an expert with thousands of videos under their belt. Communication, deadlines, and professionalism are guaranteed, with an excellent, engaging, vibes-laden video to call your own.

Process

A collaborative effort between us, these steps take you through the whole video creation process to ensure a smooth project!
Concept and Script writing - takes up to around a week to finalise a concept and script. As part of this, moodboards for the look and feel of the video are likely to be created. Here too a voice artist would be booked (you'll be able to choose from a wide selection if you don't have one in mind).
Styleframes and storyboarding - This step takes usually up to 2 weeks to complete, honing in the visuals of the piece. As with all steps, feedback will be welcomed at all points!
Animation! This takes the bulk of the time depending on feedback etc, but you will be kept up to date at all times.
Sound mixing and editing - the final stage before delivery to really make the animation pop.
Delivery - You'll be sent the video as an MP4 in whatever ratio we've discussed (1080p / 4K / etc).

What's included

  • A bespoke fully realised video, taken from initial concept through to final delivery

    A fully realized video, expertly crafted from initial concept to final delivery (if needed!). I like to see all my work as a collaborative project with my clients, so I take on board as much input as you'd like to give me! This process includes brainstorming and developing a compelling concept, scripting, designing visuals, storyboarding, the actual animation (!), and finally editing and sound mixing. Every step is tailored to ensure the final product captures your message, engages your audience, and achieves your goals with polished, professional results. Feedback and changes are welcomed at every step of the way! Final deliverable video length is usually up to 2minutes, provided as an MP4 in 1080p format. Timescale is usually 1-2months depending on feedback and length, though I've created a full video in as little as 3 days so it can be done!

  • Styleframes, storyboarding, and asset creation

    As well as motion design I create and develop the look of videos and creatives, ensuring a holistic look across a piece. For multiple videos this can be especially useful in reducing cost. This stage usually takes a few weeks to hone in a look from moodboards through to styleframes (where we see a single still of a key part of the video in different styles) through to storyboarding the whole video out. Feedback throughout this stage is essential for us to collaborate and make the video the best it can be.

  • Motion design and animation

    Based on the storyboard and script, I'll animate! Keeping you up to date at every step of the way, with plenty of opportunities for feedback and changes. This stage is generally where the bulk of the time goes taking as long as a month+, again depending on feedback and complexity of the project. Characters, 3D designs and intricate detailed design all add up the time.

  • Final deliverable!

    For TV/Youtube - A video delivered in 1080p (or 4K if needed), as an Mp4, with sound and music mixed to the video. Cutdowns can be provided for socials- videos in 9:16 format (portrait) that could be adapted to square for Instagram. This requirement would need to be talked about up-front to ensure we have parts that make sense to cutdown!

I've worked with Sam for close to 3 years and find working with him very easy. He is professional, flexible and creative with concepts and ideas. We've worked on projects together for YouTube, Google and Grab and he's been consistent with delivering quality work. I'd recommend him to anyone who's looking for a skilled 2D motion designer, who can also work well with character animation.
