Hire Motion Designer — After Effects, Lottie & explainers that convert
Most motion design fails before animation starts — vague briefs, missing storyboards, and feedback like “make it pop.” I place motion designers who work in After Effects and Lottie, lock storyboards and animatics first, and ship explainer videos, product teasers, and in-app animation on a fixed review cadence.
I'm Omer Muneer Qazi, a Dubai-based Fractional CTO & Solutions Architect with 15+ years of experience and 100+ projects delivered across 6 countries. When you hire through a structured engagement, I lock storyboards, revision rounds, and delivery formats before animation begins. Contact me to start.
Senior motion design, from storyboard to final render
Explainer videos
Full-cycle explainer production: script punch-up, storyboard, styleframes, voiceover direction, and final animation in After Effects — delivered in the aspect ratios your funnel needs, from landing-page hero to paid social cutdowns.
Lottie & in-app animation
Lottie animations for onboarding flows, empty states, and micro-interactions — specified with your engineers for file size, frame rate, and triggers, so motion ships in the app instead of dying in a design file.
Storyboards & animatics
Thumbnails, shot lists, and timed animatics approved before any frame is animated — the cheapest place to fix a weak story is on paper, not after hours of After Effects work have already been rendered.
Kinetic typography & social cutdowns
Kinetic type sequences and cutdowns built to stop the scroll — caption-safe framing, burned-in subtitles, and hooks rewritten for the first three seconds, with each channel getting its own aspect ratio and pacing.
Brand motion system
A reusable motion language for your brand — easing curves, transition libraries, logo stings, and lower-third templates — so every video your team ships next year looks like it came from one disciplined studio.
Render pipeline & handover
Organized project files, versioned exports, and a render checklist your editors can rerun — fonts, assets, and pre-comps labeled cleanly, so future edits take hours instead of reverse-engineering someone else’s chaos.
From brief to broadcast in four moves
A structured engagement with no surprises — you’ll always know what’s happening and what’s next.
Creative brief & references
A working session to pin the message, audience, and references — plus an honest call on runtime, because every extra thirty seconds costs attention and budget.
Storyboard & styleframes
You approve the story and the visual look before animation starts — two structured revision rounds here save ten expensive ones later in production.
Animation & sound
Full motion pass with voiceover, music, and sound design mixed — you review watermarked cuts on a fixed cadence, so feedback stays consolidated and actionable.
Delivery & cutdowns
Master files, platform cutdowns, and archived source projects — every deliverable versioned and clearly named, so future edits take hours rather than days.
Why hire a motion designer through Omer
Most animation projects fail in the brief, not the render — vague feedback, endless revision loops, and source files nobody can reopen. With 15+ years running delivery across 6 countries, I vet motion designers for story sense and production discipline, then manage revisions so your video actually ships.
Working style is async-first with weekly review cuts and a shared shot list you can check anytime. If motion is the missing layer in your marketing, let’s talk about your first video.
Frequently asked questions
How long does an explainer video take?
A 60- to 90-second explainer typically takes two to four weeks from an approved script: storyboards and styleframes first, then animation and sound design, then revisions and platform cutdowns.
What do you need from us to start?
A one-page brief covering the message, audience, and call to action — plus brand assets and two or three reference videos you like. I turn that into storyboards for your approval before any animation begins.
Can you match our existing brand style?
Yes. I start from your brand guidelines, fonts, and color system, then build motion rules on top of them — easing, transitions, and typography — so the video extends your brand instead of inventing a new one.
Do we own the source files?
Always. You receive organized After Effects projects, font and asset lists, and versioned exports — so any competent editor can reopen, update, and re-render your videos without starting over.
How many revision rounds are included?
Two structured rounds at storyboard and styleframe stage, plus one polish round on final animation. Locking the story early means most projects never need more than that.
