Freelance motion designer.
Studio thinking.
Hi, I'm Dan. I'm an independent creative director and motion designer behind Motion Story.
If you already know exactly what you need, I can jump in and execute it. If you don't, I can help work it out. I can take direction, or I can provide it.
“Motion Story’s delivery was creative, efficient, and seamless. Once we provided our vision, they crafted a clear message that resonated with our audience.”
Studio thinking. Freelance flexibility.
Need an extra pair of hands? I can do that.
Need someone to take ownership of the motion? I can do that too.
More than making things move.
I help work out what needs to be communicated, how to communicate it clearly, then make it happen.
You work directly with me.
I handle most projects from the initial idea through to storyboarding, design and animation.
Are you a freelancer or a studio?
Somewhere between. I am an independent creative director and motion designer. You work directly with me throughout. I handle most of the work myself, and I bring in trusted specialists only when a project needs extra expertise.
Can you just execute a brief?
Yes. If you already know exactly what you need, I can jump in and make it. If you don't, I can help work out the idea, the message and the visual approach. I can take direction, or I can provide it.
What do you actually do on a project?
I've spent years doing more than making things move. That might mean simplifying a complicated product, developing the visual idea, shaping the story, planning the animation or creating detailed storyboards before production begins. I help work out what needs to be communicated, how to communicate it clearly, and then make it happen.
How much does it cost?
From $5,000. Most projects land around $10,000 to $15,000. Fixed quote upfront after we understand the brief.
