Get an on-brand explainer video.
Built from the site you already designed.
Turn the site you’ve already designed into a clear, 60–90 second motion-design video that feels like it shipped with the website.
Clear messaging · Brand-matched motion · Designer-friendly process
Adding video shouldn’t feel like adding another job.
You already manage strategy, design, and client expectations. The moment video enters the picture, it can turn into:
New vendors to manage
Scripts to write from scratch
Extra rounds of feedback and approvals
This page exists so you can offer a custom explainer video without taking on a second project.
A video that feels like part of the website.
The hard part is usually everything that comes with it:
Finding a motion designer
Figuring out the script
Keeping the style on-brand with your site
A video that feels like part of the website.
Clear messaging
The approved website copy becomes the script, so the video reinforces the same story you’ve already designed around.Brand-matched motion
Colors, type, layout, and visual language are built from your design system, so it looks like the site came to life, not like a separate campaign.Designer-friendly process
You stay informed without becoming the middleman. Communication is structured, revisions are limited, and we only loop you in when it affects the design.
Built to work with web designers, not around them.
This offer exists because I’ve seen how powerful it is when motion design and web design work together.
For years, I’ve been hired to create explainer videos after the fact: digging through live sites, reverse‑engineering the message, and trying to guess what the original designer had in mind.
When I’m able to work directly with the web designer instead, everything gets easier:
The story is already clear in the page copy
The visual language is already defined in the design
The video can feel like the website simply came to life
So I built this as a simple add‑on you can plug into your projects.
You stay the architect of the website. I handle the motion piece that makes it easier to understand.
Motion that serves the business, not just the portfolio.
I’ve been in Video production motion design for years, but I don’t approach these videos as “cool animations for my reel.”
Every project starts with:
What business outcome is this idea trying to drive?
What does the visitor need to understand quickly?
How can the video support the story you’ve already designed, not compete with it?
Your client doesn’t just get something that moves. They get:
A clearer explanation of what they do
A stronger first impression on their homepage
Another reason to trust the website (and you)
You get credit for bringing in a specialist they probably wouldn’t have known how to find or manage on their own. You remain the trusted website expert; I’m the quiet partner who helps your work perform better.
Designed around your process, not mine.
This isn’t “Sam’s dream workflow” forced onto your projects. It’s the opposite.
I based this offer on the parts of the process that are already easiest for me:
I use your approved website copy as the script foundation
I use your layouts, typography, and brand as my style guide
I plug into your existing client relationship instead of adding a new vendor for them to manage
For you, that means:
You design the site like you always do.
You add “Homepage Explainer Add-On” as an upgrade.
You make a quick intro.
From there, I run the video project directly with the client when needed, keep you in the loop on anything that touches the design, and deliver a finished, website‑ready video.
This is “more of what they just bought, with less effort and hassle” for both you and your client.

Case Studies
EDILYTICS
Company Overview
Explainer Animation
I got to work with Austin Falter & the team at Edilytics to make this animation happen.
One of my favorite things about video has always been dipping my hand into different industries and learning what people do to revolutionize them.
Wrapping my head around new concepts to animate them is a challenge and stretches the mind (sometimes to its max), but that’s what I love about it. And with passionate people who care about making their industry better taking lead, it’s always worth it.
Locai Online Grocery
Overview Animation
For Locai, I worked alongside web designer Ben Manley to turn the brand’s website messaging and visual system into an animated overview of its online grocery platform and the 4 main product offerings.
The result helped reinforce the differentiation of product offerings easier to understand while creating a flexible video asset that felt native to the website.
Life Stage Films
Legacy Process Explainer Video
I partnered with Matt Davis of LifeStage Films to create the motion graphics for the Legacy Film Process explainer video.
I designed and animated visual elements to match the style of his website's Legacy Film landing page, keeping everything visually consistent and on-brand. The graphics were created to feel calm and simple, prioritizing Matt’s on-screen presence so he could stay personally connected with the audience.

Deerfoot Lodge
Heart of the Mission
This is an animation I did for Deefoot Lodge.
It's a perfect example of using a website to inform the decisions of a video.Using an interview and B-roll from the camp, I focused on using the motifs that they had like paper texture and maps, while also giving the footage life as the message remained the focus.
