The Process

Brief

Where it all starts.

I’ll be here to help you capture your vision, set clear expectations to guarantee a smooth path from idea to end product.

Design

The idea is locked in! Whether your brand has pre-designed assets, require new designs, or your video needs some initial rough cuts, I’ll keep your intention consistent with your idea.

Production

Once all the storyboards and rough cuts are signed off it’s time for the fun part! I’ll edit/animate your video to bring to life all the ideas behind the note-taking.

Amends and Delivery

All video and motion graphic projects come with two rounds of amends. Once all is complete, and good to go the finished video is exported in the desired outputs, ready for use.

About Me

The first thing I do when a project comes to me is I ask questions to get to know your brief, and your business. I figured you’d want to do the same!

I’m Ruben! I’m a UK-based 2D motion designer and video editor from Portugal!

7 years ago, I set out to work in the creative industry starting off as a video editor before pivoting towards motion design. I always loved animation growing up, so utilising my knowledge sharpened and honed across those 7 years of expertise in motion graphics and video editing – from travel content, to PR agency and pharmaceutical content – I help businesses to craft curated videos and content that help their business grow, increase their visibility for their customers, communicate internally to their wider team, or promoting a service.

I am based in South Yorkshire, but I work remotely and I’m able to travel to location as necessary.

For now, I only take on projects based from the UK and EU, however, watch this space as I am making plans to extend work internationally.

Absolutely! Having been in the industry for a while, I understand that there can be last minute projects. So if our calendars align, I’d be happy to help you.

Currently I do not offer 3D animation at the moment.

Unfortunately I do not offer video filming services. However, I’d be happy to refer you to a range of videographers who have experience in a variety of industries.

Changes to briefs, reviews, and scope of the project can happen, even when the project is already underway.

Briefs: Work only commences when a brief is fully signed off. This is to ensure everyone is on the same page, the project remains within its budget, and eliminates further costs ahead. If work has already been carried out, we’ll pause production until a new brief and scope are signed off.

Reviews: Each video includes two rounds of reviews upon its first draft. If additional amends are necessary beyond what’s offered there may be additional costs to factor in (depending on the work required).
I completely understand that reviews may take a long process depending on who’s reviewing. In any revision, if I don’t hear anything within two weeks, I will notify you that your project is on hold, and we can pick it up when you are ready to continue based on availability. If I don’t hear anything within a month, I’ll invoice to date.

Scope of Work: If a re-quote is necessary mid-project, that’s not a problem. Together, we’ll look at what’s already been done and see how to best utilise remaining budget unless additional funds have increased.

Circumstances and timetables can change. I charge a 50% cancellation fee if a project is cancelled within 24 hours of a booked project. If work has already commenced, and a project is cancelled mid-way through, I’ll invoice for work carried out.

At the completion of the project, I will provide you the finished video (typically as an .MP4) which can be used for your business (social media, website, etc…).
If there are any other deliverable video formats previously agreed, they will be supplied also.

If you are an agency acting on behalf of your client, or you require ownership of files or illustrations created, this is something that I’m happy to address prior to work commencing.

I am happy to supply any assets that were created by me.

However, please note that (unless otherwise stated) I cannot transfer any assets that were licensed for the use of a video (music, imagery, footage, fonts, etc…). In order for you to obtain each stock or font used, you will require a license for each asset.
At the completion of the project, I will include a list with links of all assets that were licensed so that you may license them as needed.

Some stock may also have a length of usage, and expiry would result in re-licensing.

If you require licensed assets, this is something I can go through together with you before starting a project.

I work primarily on Adobe After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator, Adobe Premiere, and Audition.

Of course! If you’re not sure about where to begin I’m happy to assist in the creative process to ensure a smooth production from start to finish.

An finally, the million dollar question…

The elephant in the room! Unfortunately, there’s no one answer to it. I offer costs based on project, which varies depending on needs, but generally the longer the video and/or the more complex the animation, the more expensive it gets. Things like including characters can also affect cost.

Let me know what you need and I can give you a ballpark figure.
And once a full brief comes through I’ll provide an accurate quote.
