I'm Dan.
Motion Story
is me.

Creative director. I help companies understand their own product — and build the story around it.

Remote

You brief me, I run the project.

Making motion since 2010, Motion Story since 2012. No account managers. When a job is big I bring in specialists I direct — but nothing gets handed off. People find me through the work.

“It felt like Motion Story was part of our team, even though we were both sitting at the other end of the globe.”
What I actually do
  • Product narratives for sales funnels, onboarding, launches, and social.
  • Talk me through a project and I can see the whole thing finished — then get it on paper so you see it too.
  • Concept → storyboard → style → animation. Always that order.
  • Not just a doer — a creator. The difference between me and a freelancer you hand a script to.
How I like to work
  • Send six bullet points, not a twelve-page document.
  • Bring me in early for the story and storyboard.
  • Agencies: I slot in for creative direction — white label or direct.
  • If the brief’s wrong, I’ll tell you. You’re not paying me to nod.
Cost, timeline, capacity
  • From $5,000. Most projects land $10,000–$15,000. Fixed quote upfront.
  • Most projects take 3–6 weeks from kickoff to delivery.
  • Limited concurrent projects, on purpose. Get in early.

Tell me about the project. I'll tell you what I see.
