Motion & animation
For agencies & production teams
An extra pair of hands.
A lot of experience.
I’m Richie Phillips. I help agencies turn ideas, designs and footage into finished motion. Bring me in for a project, a busy spell or a longer booking — and deal directly with the person doing the work.

Where I can help
From the first frame
to the final export.
Join your designers and producers, take on a defined part of the job, or help carry the work through from the start.
Motion design & animation
Brand idents, explainers, product demonstrations, social content and campaign graphics. From approved artwork and storyboards, or with creative input from the start.
VFX & compositing
Screen replacements, motion tracking, clean-up, green-screen compositing and animated interfaces that sit naturally within live-action footage.
Broadcast, events & versions
Titles, stings, event graphics and screen content. Plus the cutdowns, aspect ratios and delivery versions that help a campaign work across its channels.

Your team.
Your process.
Me, getting stuck in.
I work in After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator and Photoshop. I’m comfortable following brand guidelines, animating supplied artwork and working with your creative direction.
More about freelance supportA clear start
We agree the brief, dates, responsibilities and who signs off the work. If I’m joining an existing project, we check the files and software first.
Straightforward communication
You work directly with me. We agree how to share progress, collect feedback and flag changes to the brief or schedule.
Your client relationship, respected
I can work behind the scenes or with your client-facing team. Confidentiality, NDAs and portfolio permissions are agreed before production.
A useful handover
We confirm delivery formats, versions and any editable project files at the start, including the fonts, plug-ins and licences the handover needs.

Before you book
The practical bits.
What are your rates?
Day bookings and project quotes are available. The fee depends on the work, dates, scope and working arrangements. Send the brief and budget range and I’ll confirm a rate or quote, including VAT and any agreed travel or other costs, before you book.
Can you work under our agency’s name?
Yes. I can support your team behind the scenes or join client conversations as agreed. We’ll confirm how I’m introduced, who handles feedback and any confidentiality or portfolio restrictions before the work starts.
Can you pick up an existing After Effects project?
Yes. Send a sample of the files and details of the software version, fonts and plug-ins first. I’ll check what’s needed before confirming the booking, whether I’m animating supplied designs or continuing an existing project.
Can our team have the project files?
Project-file handover can be included by agreement. Tell me at the briefing stage if your team needs editable files, templates or versions it can update. We’ll agree the file structure, software requirements and any third-party asset or licence restrictions in advance.
Do you work remotely or on site?
Both, by arrangement. I’m based in Leicester and work with teams across the Midlands, London, Manchester and beyond. Send your location and dates so we can discuss availability, travel and the practical details.
Can you help when the brief is still taking shape?
Absolutely. I can work from approved designs and storyboards, or help develop the visual approach before animation begins. Send what you have, what needs to be delivered and the deadline; we can work out the next step together.
Your written booking confirms scope, fees and arrangements. Read the booking terms.
