Timing isthe whole job.

I make things move for brands. Launch films, logo stings, product spots and social loops, mostly in Cinema 4D, Houdini and After Effects. I take each one from the first model to the final comp, so the timing’s mine the whole way.

Motion work

Chuda &DCL

Product CGI

Shots no camera could get. A cream jar frozen mid-splash, and a lotion that pours itself around its bottle.

Amici &Vino

Motion, brand

Wine tastings in Connecticut, New York and online. I drew the monogram, an A that ties itself around the bottle, then made it move for the launch.

How it
comes together

When Paddock was opening in Miami, there was no garage to film yet. So I built one in 3D. Here’s how that went, straight out of the viewport.

  1. A grey box and a wooden guy for scale. Walls, columns and ceiling height come first, before a single material.

  2. Then I fly the camera through clay cars until the moves feel right. It’s cheap to change here, so I change it a lot.

  3. Then the look. The hexagon lights, the concrete, the cars, and style frames until any still could be the poster.

  4. And a garage nobody had built yet becomes the launch teaser.

Ahead of
the build

Sometimes there’s nothing to shoot yet, so I build it in 3D. The Paddock Miami launch teaser, and the Good Vibes Cantina interior while it was still a plan.

Off the clock

Things I make when nobody’s paying, mostly to see what Houdini will let me get away with.

And the brandunder it

Motion lands better on a brand that’s built to move. So when a project needs one, I design that too. These two started there.

Paddock

Brand, web, film

A private car club in New York and Miami. I’ve worked with them since 2022, from the hexagon P to the app members book their cars through.

GoodVibesCantina

Brand, motion

A Baltimore cantina with a day shift and a night shift. I rebranded it around the name everyone already called it, then made it move for the site launch and social.
