SEILS LLC
I’m Nick Seils, Founder of Seilsgrphx - a 3D Artist and Motion Designer.
Check out my portfolio to see some of my work.
Collaboration and transparency are key components of my work. I believe that working together with my clients is the best way to achieve their goals. I strive to create Animation’s & Motion Graphics that are not only visually stunning but also communicate the message effectively. I work fast and efficiently without compromising on quality. My goal is to provide my clients with the best possible service and exceed their expectations.
I follow a four-step process for creating engaging motion graphics: defining the message, designing the graphics, animating the graphics, and testing/ refining them. I am with you throughout the process, continually sending styleframes and test animations until we create something you’ll be proud of!
As a Motion Designer with 7 years of experience, I have had the
opportunity to work for the Golden State Warriors, San Jose Sharks, San Francisco Giants, Phoenix
Mercury, Philadelphia Phillies and other major sports teams in the US. I specialize in 3D animation,
Redshift renders and Adobe After Effects Motion Design. During the NFT craze of 2021, I even had the
opportunity to design College Sport Digital Trading Card NFT's for a company called RECUR. While
Sports Motion Graphics is where I excel, I have the ability to design any project a client needs
completed. I am an expert in my field and always learning more and adapting to the industry's newest
programs and technology. I enjoy meeting new people and building friendships across the
globe.
If you're looking for a professional Motion Designer who can bring your ideas to life
with stunning visuals that grab people's attention, then look no further! Please feel free to reach
out to me if you have any questions or would like to discuss your project further.

PROCESS
-
Brief Analyzing
Each brand is different, has its own unique features and problems, therefore understanding its needs in order to provide individual solutions is always preceded by a conversation.
-
Proposal and Bookings
It is a complex and multi-stage process that is created in close cooperation with the client. His knowledge of the services or products offered, together with the designer's experience, is the perfect combination to properly implement the project.
-
Deliverables
The implementation of completed projects is as important as the stage of their implementation - the printing of identification elements or the implementation of a website requires appropriate supervision and experience, which is why the client is also supported after the implementation of the projects.
IN-DEPTH PROCESS
We are working together with local authorities, businesses, and community members at every step. Our approach to a new city is more than just getting from point A to B.
-
1. Evaluate Brief
I will define the purpose of the project by spending time with you and having you lead me through the vision in your own words.
-
2. Mapping the Data
I will outline the key messages by asking you what you want your motion graphic to communicate. Is there a specific message or concept you have in mind? What do you want the viewer to feel when they see it? I will communicate with you to understand the brand style and tone of voice you want to express within the project.
-
3. Create Visual Sketches / Moodboard
I will list the deliverables by asking you what are the specific outputs you require? Is it a TV spot, an animation for a game, or a video for Youtube? I will try and provide as much detail as possible. The technical constraints will help inform the design and production process, costs, and timeframe for the project.
-
4. Discussion Meetings
I will describe the target audience by asking you who is your target audience and what’s important to them. What do they care about? What inspires them? You can include any relevant research or stats you have.
-
5. Explore Ideas
Once I’ve completed your brief, I will share it with you so we are on the same page.
