👋 I'm available for jobs in March and April!👋
Send an email to henning@baumotion, and let's discuss your next project!

2025 started off suuuper slow for me—snowboarding, family birthdays, and a looot of acquisition and social media work. Sometimes you have to invest, right?

But the good thing is: this work has already paid off!

I was struggling with the universe, wondering why 2024 had been the best (and first) year of my freelance career, yet January 2025 wasn’t bringing in any client work.

But the universe understood the assignment and sent me two leads at the same time—literally 30 seconds apart. This made me laugh.

anabrid – Green Wings Explainer

anabrid’s unique analog-digital system architecture connects the strength of analog computing power seamlessly into the world of digital accessibility.

For the new website, I worked with the agency adlerschmidt on a sample explainer film. It is set in anabrid’s design world and highlights the profound benefits of analog and hybrid computer chips for our society.

Inside a Freelance Motion Designers Life

Acquisition has led me to awesome people—marketers who know potential clients, agencies working with great brands, fascinating designers from Vienna, and even a guy from Nigeria. But let me explain:

Creative Mornings Vienna

A bunch of people who seem to know each other come together to learn about a certain topic—the best way to connect with designers from different fields. And guess what? These events are also available in your city!

I had so much fun listening, learning, and getting to know fellow designers (who were already following me on Instagram. wtf?).

CreativeMornings/Vienna

CreativeMornings is a breakfast lecture series for the creative community. Join us at one of our free monthly events around the world or watch the talks online!

Motion Design Systems – by Kef Williams

I had an amazing conversation with Kef Williams from Motion Design Systems about Motion Branding, Event Design, and the future of Motion Design. While we're waiting for the final edit (apologies for my English, Kef 😉), be sure to check out the other episodes—they’re super interesting!

A place for Motion Branding

I’m working for myself to help the world understand why motion branding elements are essential for your brand. As part of this, I was creating a new page for my website featuring a walkthrough video showing how you can edit a social media post in just 3 minutes. It turns out, your iPhone makes a surprisingly good microphone for voiceovers!

Social Media Game

In the meantime, I’ll keep working towards hitting one million followers across my social media channels (combined—it feels like a more achievable goal!).

No need for me to beg for a follow, but you should definitely check out the latest reels on my channels—they might just have a positive impact on your way of working!

Free Treat 🎁

This time I’m giving away a block of code from my Expression Bible for my Motion Design Friends out there.

It’s the Ternary Operator – for those who love to work with an if–else statement, but easier. (only works, when you have two conditions!)

//ternary operator. Set a condition and ask if its higher, same or lower. true? 10, else 20.
a > b ? 10 : 20;

//baumotion

I’ve decided to give away something special in every newsletter from now on. Maybe a whole project file in the next one?

Wishing you a wonderful day! 🤝
