Michael A. Wood
I'm a motion designer and art director with over 10 years of experience. I design, direct, and animate projects end to end, owning the creative from initial concept, storyboards, style frames, and look development through to polished final delivery.
I work across both 2D and 3D, often blending the two, with Cinema 4D and Octane at the core of my 3D work. Whether it's a product reveal, a brand film, or a social campaign, I set the visual direction first and bring my own strong design eye to every frame.
I care deeply about detail and craft: the lighting, the timing, the small decisions that lift a piece from competent to memorable. That blend of art direction and hands-on technical execution lets me move fast without compromising on quality, whether I'm leading a piece solo or working closely alongside other designers and stakeholders.
My work spans product animations and visualisations, corporate brand films, service explainers, and live event and festival visuals. That range keeps the work fresh and means I bring a broad creative perspective to every brief.
Currently at Amazon Veeqo, I handle motion and video work across their brand and marketing, and have brought 3D capability to the team, creating product visualisations and mockups across a range of initiatives.
