About the project

As part of my role developing the UI motion design for Tempest Rising, I was tasked with creating an alternative UI motion style for the second faction within the game: The Tempest Dynasty.

In the game's backstory, the Dynasty faction was born out of the countries that were hardest hit in the global nuclear war. As a result, the Dynasty faction doesn't have access to the same high-tech resources as the GDF faction.

Using this backstory and building on some initial style points I put together this legacy UI style that took inspiration from old computer interfaces and MS DOS style designs.

The end result works really well within the game for distinguishing the two factions and adding to the backstory of the faction using whatever legacy / retro tech they can get their hands on.

Rewilding the planet with freelance animation and motion design

We've only got one planet, and right now it needs all the help it can get. Climate change and biodiversity loss are massive challenges that we need to tackle head on.

That's why, for every freelance animation project over £1000 a donation of 1% of the total budget will be made to the World Land Trust, on your behalf.

The money will go towards WLT's "buy an acre" programme; buying up and protecting vital habitats around the world, and helping fight against climate change.

Any motion design projects under £1000 will have a tree planted on your behalf.

Acres saved so far:

Thanks to my wonderful clients and the animations we've produced, enough money has been donated to save around:

17.5 Acres of vital habitats around the world.

Just think, your animated explainer video or logo animation could also be helping fight the climate crisis!
