  • Seamlessly integrate UI elements into real-world environments (e.g., screen replacement, motion tracking)
  • Simulate scenes, environments, or abstract visualizations that support storytelling when live action isn’t feasible
  • Use VFX to craft high-impact intros, transitions, or animations that grab viewer attention within the first 3 seconds—especially for social media and paid ad content
  • Optimize your work for visual clarity and platform-specific constraints (e.g., short-form vertical video, muted autoplay)
• Competency Priorities:
  • Motion Graphics & Kinetic Typography
