Profil | Karin Klingel

My name is Karin
I am a Motion Designer.

I am passionate about animation - for television and video production, infographics, explanatory videos, image films and interactive UI design. I work independently and as a freelancer.

It's the transfer of knowledge that excites me.

Why?
Because every time I tackle a new topic, I enjoy the opportunity to learn something new.

Always.

This fuels me.

Skills

I work with a wide range of softwares – and I learn new ones swiftly.

I have very good knowledge of After Effects (including Expressions), Illustrator, Photoshop and Premiere. I also occasionally work with Cavalry, DaVinci Resolve, Rive, Spline and Figma and a little bit of Blender, VizArtist ...

I'm currently learning JavaScript (well, I'm trying to...)

I work cleanly, in a structured manner and with great care. And I organise my projects in such a way that they can be handed over without any problems.

As a service provider, I am used to keeping an eye on budgets and time frames.

I like to work thoroughly and with a keen eye for detail. But sometimes there are situations where you have to be able to come up with a quick and clean solution.

My foundations

I have a keen sense of composition, dynamics, rhythm and tension in moving images. Stylistic confidence, the principles of animation, technical understanding and curiosity – these are my foundations for technically accurate solutions.

I want to go deeper

The conceptual preparatory work for an animation helps me to familiarise myself with a new topic. I enjoy learning new things and I keep asking questions until I have a deep unterstanding of everything, and then I develop suggestions for a visualisation.
