Richie Phillips- Freelancer for Hire

Freelance Motion Graphics, 2D Animator and VFX with 14 Years of Expertise

Soooo I’m a freelancer from Leicester in the East Midlands. I do Animation, motion graphics and VFX. I’ve been doing this for the last 14 years. 17 years if you count university. I’m originally form the North-East so I bring that hard working ethic.

In the midst of the credit crunch, I had a hard time finding a job so I decided to jump in myself and go freelance. Within three months, I secured a deal with Sports Tonight Live, creating motion graphic introductions for their sports shows. This initial success paved the way for projects featured on TV channels such as Sky Sports, Discovery Channel, and Channel 4. I later had my first taste of the red carpet with "The Inside Man" at Leicester Square Odeon.

My journey includes collaborating with art directors in various agencies, working on private projects, and integrating into diverse teams of creatives. This multifaceted experience has kep[t my skills sharp and enriched my perspective.
