Client Paid Me $950 – Here’s Exactly How I Did the Animation

A client reached out with a 5-day deadline, a $950 budget, and one goal. Turn their drawing game into a promo video that works as both a trailer and a Play Store/App Store ad. All I had was a script, a few images, and a link to the game.
In this video, I'll walk you through the entire process from zero to final delivery:
- How I played the game first — and why that changed everything
- Building a full visual identity from scratch (color palette, music, motif)
- Creating a hand-drawn line motif using Trim Paths that ties the whole video together
- Animating a "generic" logo into something actually memorable
- Typography animation breakdown — staggered characters, bounce keyframes, and the Text
- How I structured the four intro sequences (Draw, Guess, Laugh, Repeat) and gave each its own personality
- The gameplay section — why I ended up ditching my own recording
- Sound design — the most underrated step in motion design
This breakdown is perfect if you want to see how real client projects actually work — the creative blocks, the back-and-forth, the decisions that don't make it into the final render.
