Background

About Matas Z.

Hi! I'm a Lithuanian motion designer, mentor, and educator. Over the past decade, I've been super lucky to work with experts in the fields of motion graphics, brand storytelling and immersive experiences. Together, we've breathed life into a wide range of stunning stories. Lately, my focus has been on sports, urban planning, and culture projects. Highlights include working directly with Linkedin and producing Vox Media like Daily Headlines, watched by hundreds of thousands; creating over 400 motion design shots for the Olympic Channel's Anatomy of series; and developing SaaS explainers. I've also worked on animating major urban planning projects for renowned architecture firms. I love real human connections, especially seeing people succeed. That's why I mentor individuals and help people in organisations transition from static to motion design. Whether you're a product owner or marketing professional, I consult on how you can implement motion design in your communication channels and make your product or brand to stand out. When I was a student, I wished that someone from the industry could be one of my tutors. That's why fostering the next generation of motion is my way of giving back to the community. At Vilnius Academy of Arts, I teach motion design through hands-on learning. I help students refine their skills and apply motion design principles to real-world projects. Currently, I'm pouring my energy into the following personal initiatives- onionskin.it: A mentorship program for emerging motion designers- krizestop.lt: A National Disaster Response Tool concept- twoklicks.tv: pushing boundaries and producing animated stories for the defense industry and government organisations. If you're reading that far, you should know that I enjoy working with passionate and genuine individuals. So if you're looking to harness the power of motion design, let's connect - I'm all ears! After all, people work with people!
