Julian Kunchev

I am a Motion Designer from Sofia, Bulgaria, with a passion for visual storytelling.

A motion designer often has to wear a lot of hats – script writer, illustrator, graphic designer, motion designer and animator. I am perfectly comfortable with starting a project from just an idea and ending with a polished, well thought out product, because I have education and experience in the cinema industry, which gives me a unique set of skills for animation.

I also play well with others and have no problem with collaborating on a project or filling just one or two roles.

I have been working as a Motion Designer for 7 years and I’ve been an editor, camera operator, mostly director and script writer and I have a couple of short films under my belt. I believe that each of these roles translates a specific view point to animation and storytelling, which gives my work an edge. Script Writing makes me think in a visual way from the start. Editing provides a useful mindset, which gives me a sense of pacing, clarity and mood. Operating gives me a deep understanding of all different types of camera movement and lighting. Directing has given me an eye for cinematic images and I have worked with professional actors. Getting out subtle nuances from a real life performance helps a lot with character animation. 

I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and have a good understanding of Cinema 4D and Blender.
