Animated graphics and template systems
Motion Graphics & After Effects Templates
I build animated titles, lower thirds, transitions and full graphics packages in After Effects.
A lot of this work is template systems rather than single animations. Your team refills the template with new copy and new footage and renders it again without me. I build them to be run repeatedly rather than opened once.
What's included
- Animated title cards, lower thirds and transitions
- A graphics package that stays consistent across a series or a channel
- Reusable After Effects templates your team refills and re-renders
- Text-driven and data-driven setup for repeated variants
- Logo animation and brand element builds, working from your designer's Figma or Illustrator files
- Documentation and a recorded walkthrough so your team can actually run it
Who sends me this
- Teams rebuilding the same graphic with different copy every week
- Channels and series that need one consistent look
- Companies whose brand guidelines exist on paper but not in After Effects
- Anyone whose editors start titles from scratch each time
How it works
- You get in touch. Tell me what the job is. You get scope, a price and a date back before anything starts.
- You send the footage. Your brand files, or your designer's Figma or Illustrator handoff, plus an example of the graphic you keep rebuilding.
- First cut. You see a first cut early enough to change direction, rather than at the end.
- Revisions. Revisions until it's right. I don't count rounds.
- Delivery. Final files in whatever formats and specs you need.
Turnaround depends on the footage and how many versions you need, so I don't put a number on it here. Send your deadline with the job and I'll tell you whether it works.
Where I've done this
I own the template library behind a high-volume video operation and I supervise the editors working inside it, which is where the template-system approach comes from. I also write plugins for After Effects and Blender when a job needs the software to do something it doesn't.

Tell me which of the two you need. If you're not sure, describe the graphic somebody on your team rebuilds every week.
