That’s it, in a nutshell. People get in touch, occasionally with fully formed ideas, sometimes with doodles scribbled on napkins and my job is to turn those thoughts into engaging animated videos for TV, online and events. I've made animations for banks, police forces, radio stations, retail chains - all sorts. Weapons of choice are industry-standard motion graphics packages including Adobe After Effects and Maxon Cinema 4D. Pre-Production work is carried out with an A4 jotter from Wilko and a Nespresso machine.

I also provide Post-Production services. That covers pretty much anything to do with making videos apart from shooting them. Editing, effects, graphics, enhancements...

B2B (business to business) and internal communications projects make up the majority of DBM's output though I also enjoy making animations for consumer-facing campaigns including social media marketing and advertising.

I’m Rob Birnie, a media professional with over 20 years’ experience. I launched DBM Motion Graphics in 2015 to help businesses harness the power of high-quality, affordable animation.
