Most explainer videos put people to sleep. Mine get them to take action. I'm Vitalii — animation lead at AND ACTION, where we've created videos for Upwork, Google, World of Tanks, 7-Eleven, TicTac, and CoinGecko. I'm also an Upwork Evaluator for 2D Animation, 3D Animation, and Motion Design. When global brands need animation that actually moves the needle, they come to us. Now I'm here to bring that same quality to your project — whether you're a funded startup or an established company ready to level up your visual game. 🎬 Explainer Videos | 2D & 3D Animation | Motion Graphics | Video Production 🎯 What I Do Best: • Explainer videos that simplify SaaS, fintech, Web3, and eCommerce without dumbing down • Brand commercials & promo videos with personality (not corporate snooze-fests) • Social media content optimized for today's 3-second attention spans • Product demos and animated infographics for startups and established brands • Character animation and frame-by-frame work when the story demands it • Logo animations, intros/outros, and kinetic typography ✨ Services: 2D Animation • Motion Graphics • AI & mixed media video • Animated Explainer Videos • Frame-by-Frame Animation • Content Creation • Video Production • NFT Art & Animation • Educational Videos 💡 Why People Hire Me: You get a creative partner, not just a vendor. I ask the right questions upfront so we're aligned on goals, not just deliverables. My team has delivered 200+ projects across IT, consumer brands, and social impact campaigns — from AI startups to food companies to events that needed visual storytelling. ⚙️ The Process: Share your idea (even if it's messy). I'll help shape it into something that resonates with your specific audience. We work in Adobe Suite (After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop) and Toon Boom Harmony, and we're fast without cutting corners. 🌍 Let's talk about your project. I'm available on Zoom whenever you are.
