Motion Graphics
A description of digital services I offer. I am a motion graphics, digital media creator and AfterEffects artist working with the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier Pro and Cinema 4D.
I have experience collaborating as part of a post-production house creative team and as a freelancer in the production of motion graphics, visual effects, compositing and video editing. Multitasking was often necessary and I drew from my substantial time management and organizational skills to prioritize tasks, stick to a project and meet deadlines.
“I had the pleasure of working with Glenn on a motion graphics project that had to be done very quickly, and very well. I was not disappointed. Glenn proved himself to be the perfect craftsman for the job, bringing a very strong skill set as well as considerable initiative and imagination to the video. He is talented, he is fast, he knows how to communicate, and overall was a genuine godsend on this difficult assignment.”
—Chris Healey DonerCX
"Glenn is exceptionally talented, easy to work with and produced an amazing end product. He was responsive to changes, had great suggestions and turned around the work quickly.
We will definitely be using him again!"
—Matt Dieter, RIDG

I then do all of the animated sections of these various courses, including ones on Biohazards, Crane Rigging, Lock out/Tag out, Demolition Safety, and others.

An fun example of Kinetic Typography I created, using a quote from my favorite movie The Princess Bride. High quality kinetic typography can make your video, social media post, or advertisement stand out amid the noise of other videos. Such videos are fun to watch and increase attention of your audience and therefore increase the retention and understanding of your message.
A set of 6 examples of custom animated Instagram stories. I can create Instagram or other social media posts featuring new products or advertising your message with engaging and meaningful modern graphics. Whether you're into music, beauty, luxury goods, food, sports, travel, nature, or just want to post fantastic family photos. Capture and impress your audience, and grow your followers!
This is a demo of effects that can be achieved using the parallax effect on still photos. The photos can be modern or historic and of any type of subject. If no layered Photoshop file exists for the photo, then the image must be painstakingly cut into various layers and backgrounds and other elements must be replaced, corrected or expanded. The layers are then arranged in z-space within AfterEffects, with effects added to correct for distortions. Camera moves and even subtle animation of the layers is possible to create stunning effects.
This is a video for the sales launch of the new EZ Reach Bic Lighter. The video was used internally in sales conventions, campaigns and meetings.
