Rob McNealy, founder of the successful entrepreneurship and small business podcast StartUpStoryRadio.com, was looking to expand into video podcasting. He hired us to produce motion graphics animation work for the opening and closing of each episode. The main theme of the animation is entrepreneurship, success, and networking/social media. We produced all the animation work in Illustrator and After Effects. The finished animation was rendered out in full 1080p high-definition video.

The visual composition within this animation is in the geometric grid form of traditional Chinese stone-carved calligraphy, while the color scheme and sans-serif typefaces give it a distinctly modern flavor.
