About

Hello. I have 20 years of professional experience working in NYC, Los Angeles and Minneapolis in the field of motion graphics and animation. Please check out my work at Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup All the work here was designed and animated by me.
I specialize in working with brands to develop fully produced animations. This involves the entire process of starting from a written script, then designing storyboards, and lastly on to the animation, edit and sound design phase. I am very seasoned animator, but I consider myself a graphic designer first and foremost.

I have also spent the last two years working with Midjourney AI and Runway AI making images and video. I am daily experimenting with AI to find better workflows that assist traditional computer design and animation. I can provide several examples upon request as they are not on my website.

Thanks,
Chris Averbeck
