Hi, I'm Matt Nelson

Motion graphics designer and digital creative. Hundreds of companies have used my videos to tell their stories, educate customers, and simplify the complex. I've animated videos for everyone from startups to the Fortune 500.

I know Amazon has a lot of choices in hiring talent, so it's important that I earn your trust. If you're curious, here's a little bit about me.

Highlight Reel

A collection of works from over the last year. A range of styles from 2D motion graphics, character animation, and 3D work.

Case Studies

They say that if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. The collection of projects below are more than just samples of my work, they’re the result of some 9-to-5 fun.

Cisco DNA

Software Used: Illustrator, After Effects, Sketch

Time to Complete: 3 weeks

Roles: Style frames, storyboard, animation

Cisco needed a compelling video to introduce users to their latest product, Cisco DNA. Working with both Web Enertia and BX Films, I created the style guide based on their branding, and animated the whole video from start to finish.

STRATEGY

Staying within the guidelines of Cisco's established aesthetic, I pushed the colors and motion in this piece to captivate the viewer.

NUIX Insight

Software Used: Illustrator, After Effects, Plexus

Time to Complete: 1 week

Roles: Styleframes and design, storyboard, animation

Nuix Security was searching for a concise animation to show off their latest product, Nuix Insight. The goal was to keep the video as short, sleek and sexy as possible. I worked with BX Films and agency Launch Squad to create this project. After the project was finished, the client commented, ""I don't think I've ever been more excited to authorize payment for anything in my life."

STRATEGY

We quickly turned around a handful of different visual styles to nail the look and feel of the final video. The final result was a combination of wireframe linework and robust colors on white.

wordpress

Software Used: Illustrator, After Effects, Premeire

Time to Complete: 2 weeks

Roles: UI animation, rotoscoping and motion tracking

When you have a big client like Wordpress, it's important to show that a large company still understands the needs of a small business. BX Films worked with Launch Squad to tell the story of their customers.

STRATEGY

Using UI from Wordpress, we crafted simple but captivating motion graphics to showcase the wide number of use cases for Wordpress templates. We created 3 videos in total, each one highlighting a different business or customer.
