ABOUT
ME
Independent Motion Designer
Made by Charles Agnew
Years in Design
I'm Charles, an independent Motion Designer specializing in design-driven 3D/2D execution for brands, products, and digital experiences.
With over a decade of experience, I craft visual narratives that bring ideas to life through the power of motion and design.
Over the past few years I've built that same rigor into AI-integrated work — using generative image and video tools, and prompt engineering, as a genuine creative medium rather than a shortcut. The result is a hybrid practice where AI and traditional motion design amplify each other, delivering sharper concepts and more ambitious executions.
HOW I WORK
I run a lean, AI-native process. The craft you'd expect from a studio, but faster to first frames and cheaper to iterate, so the budget goes on the ideas that land.
Discovery
We start with the brief, the audience and the outcome. What needs to be true when this goes live.
Direction
Mood, world and references. I lock the visual language before anything moves, so we're aligned on look and tone early.
Generation
Where AI earns its place. I explore fast, character sheets, frames, motion tests, and put real options in front of you in days, not weeks.
Production
The build. Animation, 3D, compositing and finish in After Effects, Cinema 4D and Redshift, brought up to standard.
Delivery
Final assets, cut and formatted for everywhere they need to run, with source files if you need them.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Project-based
Best when the scope is clear: a film, a launch set, a defined campaign. Fixed price for a fixed outcome, so you know the cost up front and I own delivery end to end. Ideal if you know what you need and want a predictable number.
Day rate
Best when the work is open or evolving: ongoing content, embedded support with your team, exploratory R&D, or fast-turnaround jobs. You book my time, we stay flexible on scope, and scale up or down as the work shifts.
Every project starts with a conversation
Not sure which way fits? That's what the first call is for. Tell me what you're making and we'll find the shape of it together.
