Worlds built for prime time.
Concept to master, in-house, on one pipeline.
The hardest part of a brief is usually the part that has no answer yet. I take a note like "make it feel bigger" and turn it into a look, a system and a sequence a production can actually shoot, build and air, before anyone commits budget to it.
Title sequences, on-screen packages, scoreboards, timers and lower thirds. Built as a system with rules rather than a pile of one-off cards, so episode nineteen looks like episode one and production can keep running it long after I hand it over.
Invisible work and impossible work. Set extensions, cleanup, screen replacements, atmosphere and destruction. Finished to broadcast QC and, more importantly, to a large screen in a living room.
Photoreal shots without a shoot day. Art-directed frame by frame, not prompted once and hoped for.
Night turned into day. Backgrounds replaced, plates relit, weather and season changed. Built as a pipeline with QC inside it.
Custom tooling for the parts of post that eat weeks. Data-driven tables and cards, batch generation, and panels that live inside After Effects. Production edits a spreadsheet, the graphics rebuild themselves.
Offline, online, sound, grade and delivery. Or the whole thing from first concept to master, when a production wants one person accountable for how it looks instead of three vendors who have never spoken to each other.

Onn Henner, working out of Vienna.
For almost two decades I have worked on prime-time television, mostly the kind of format where the graphics carry as much of the story as the edit: talent shows, game shows, big studio nights.
What I sell is not a software list. It is the ability to take a complicated brief, usually one that arrives half-formed and in a hurry, and work out what it should look like on screen. Sometimes the answer is a motion graphics package. Sometimes it is a whole world, built shot by shot.
I work in-house on my own pipeline, so concept, design, VFX, generation and delivery all come from the same place and nothing is lost in a handover. Send me the brief, even the messy version.
The half-formed one is usually more useful than the polished one. Tell me what the show needs to feel like and I will tell you what it takes to build it.
