(And yes, Champ is a real name... or at least my parents say so). I was born and raised in southern Thailand. My love of the beach and outdoors is second only to my passion for movies and video games, and my fascination with making imaginary objects come to life on a screen. Exactly why I got myself into Motion Graphics. I love letting my imagination run free. I love creating and exploring what's possible. Above all else, I just love what I do. Give me a shot and get in touch. Sincerely, Champ

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜 𝗮𝗺. I am a career technology animator. I make people understand and be excited about your technology, your products, and your processes. I have produced over 1,500 animated videos over 12 years, spanning dozens of industries and hundreds of clients. My work was featured in Popular Mechanics, on Bloomberg, and across professional publications, trade shows, and corporate communications. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗼. • 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 • 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 • 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 • 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 • 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 And about 1,500 more. 𝗙𝗔𝗤 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀? 𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀. There is no such thing in nature as “an animation.” There isn’t even such a basic thing as “a pen.” We all know what’s “a pen,” but a $1 Bic pen and the Fulgor Nocturnus by Tibaldi, solid at auction for $8,000,000, are different in every way. They both “write”, but one is a disposable consumable and the other is a work of art, status, history, meaning, and craftsmanship. It's the same with anything, including animation. I have produced over 1,500 separate, distinct animations for businesses as large as Meta (Facebook). I have worked on hundreds upon hundreds of different technologies, developing how to tell their stories, present the products and understand the audiences correctly in the first place. An animation technician with 50 animations under his belt without any of this experience is incomparable. He is also “an animator” – but at the same time, our skills, capabilities, and your ultimate results will be completely different. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁? In the thousands, but beyond that – it depends on countless unknown variables. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲? Producing custom animation for you will take work from both parties: from the animator, and from you. At the barest minimum, you will have to explain what you need, provide relevant information, and approve drafts and the final work. How long will that take you to do is an unknown. The second part is how long it will take the animator to do the work in between those events. It’s fair to estimate 2-6 weeks for most projects. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱? 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲? 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? This goes back to “there is no such thing as a pen.” You can hire a real professional, or you can hire an honest technician, or you can hire a fake-it-till-you-make-it showoff. This is the order of quality of results, and the descending order of autonomy. The professional can do the work better than you. The honest technician will need you to direct most things. The showoff will be a circus at your expense. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹? Documented history. Over 300 projects on Upwork alone, with real, documented reviews through the Upwork platform. Have a read. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝘂𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 $𝟲𝟬𝟬 – 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲. 𝗜𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁? This is a difference in approach, not just in skill. The math doesn’t lie. If you are paying, say, $600 for unlimited revisions, and some guy spends five weeks full time doing all of that activity, that’s $600/200 hours, and that’s not counting overhead. That is literally the kind of guy who is doing your work. Don't expect much. 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.

𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀. If you have a product, technology or process that you need people to see, understand and be excited about, I am uniquely qualified to help. I specialize in explaining technology and technological products and processes. Please either: • Invite me to your project on Upwork, or • Hire me on Upwork, or • Send me a message on Upwork. I respond as soon as I see your messages, which is often within 10 minutes.
