ALEXANDER BALL
ANIMATION & MOTION GRAPHIC ARTIST
About Me
Hi, my name is Alexander Ball. I am an Animator & Motion Graphic Artist who specializes in 2D & 3D animations, motion graphic & designs.
I graduated in studying animation, modelling and visual effects, for 5 years. I spent most of my final year of studying, learning and developing work in motion graphics, animation, designs and visual effects.
I've worked at Byter Digital, a Digital Marketing team in Mayfair, London as an Intern Graphic Designer & Animator over a year and before that I worked at Manning Gottlieb OMD as a Design Intern for 9 months starting in January 2019. Right now, I am working a Big Group, a Digital Marketing and Communications Agency based in Holland Park, London as a full-time Middleweight Motion Graphic Designer. Despite gaining this, I am still aiming to enhance more skills, experiences, work quality and knowledge at a practical, creative media environment alongside creative team members & industry professionals.
My works are done through 2D & 3D designs and animations, those areas I handle are animating graphic shapes, assets, layouts, texts, photos, as well as, logo designs, transitions, plugin tools (Maxon's Trapcode & Universe), colour correction and both video/audio editing.
Completed a BA (Hons) degree in Animation and visual effects at Buckinghamshire New University, having previously studied a Fda Animation and Visual Effects at Amersham and Wycombe College and a BTEC level 3 Animation and Games Design at West Thames College (gaining distinction in both).
I’m interested in creating opening motion title/logo brands, short films or videos that represent key messages for campaigns, social clips/GIFs, promotional, reels, charity stories, guidelines, short historical events and other media elements. Whilst I am looking to work in all areas to gain as much experience as possible, my key interest is motion graphics.
I am a conscientious, reliable, hardworking and an easy going person, dedicated to the tasks given. I am creative with lots of ideas but also keen to learn from others and having ideas and enthusiasm while being part of a team.
The type of software I specialise in:
Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Illustration and Premium Pro as well as secondary or third experiences in Autodesk Maya, Adobe Indesign, Blender and C4D
