Beii.tv is me, Beini. I write scripts, design style frames, draw storyboards, animate these assets and also direct projects from start to finish. Working with me gives you flexibility, speed and value. I make you look good. I've worked with clients from PepsiCo to Carnegie New York to National Geographic.
"Beini is a one person production studio! We had the pleasure of working with her on our promo animation video. She took care of everything (script writing, storyboarding, animation, voiceover) and was very flexible/responsive to feedback and quite organized around deadlines. I was particularly impressed by her work ethic and attention to detail and often felt she was personally invested in delivering the best quality product possible, going well beyond the call of duty."
The toughest part is nailing down a message highlighting the product in a concise and visual way. We spent a good couple weeks at this stage.
Setting the right tone means developing the right visual language. We aimed for a sophisticated but accessible style.
Style frames and storyboards are where the rubber hits the road. We explored many design variations.
I find appropriate actors for the project before inviting the client to pick one.
Magic! The designs are animated. Work-in-progress videos are sent to the client as the pieces is assembled.
Good music and sound design tie the piece together. I offer clients a range of music choices until we find the right one.

Having me clean the footage, storyboard, illustrate and animate meant maximum flexibility and speed for my client on this two week project.
The hand-drawn style carried the message while allowing for humor.
I designed all the assets with an eye toward efficient and seamless animation. The completed segment was broadcast on National Geographic.

"Beini has been absolutely awesome to work with on animated videos. More than just great design sense, Beini is a true collaborator whose guidance helps us create content that demystifies complex topics and engages our audience. Best of all, she is clear and communicative about her workflow process, which has proven to be a huge help for our growing studio team. Would highly recommend working with her!"
Skift supplied the voice-over tracks and I edited the scripts, focusing on key points that translated to strong visuals.
Skift already had an illustration style; we dove right into storyboarding each video.
Working within brand guidelines meant learning the brand's language. Once fluent, I created new characters and environments on the fly.
I illustrated assets that plugged directly into the animation pipeline. The results were punchy videos in line with Skift's modern aesthetic.

"Beini is fantastic! It was such a joy to work with her on our firm’s animation video. She has a gift for pulling out your hopes and vision for the project and making them a reality. I feel blessed to have worked with such a talented artist and video animator. I highly recommend Beini and I look forward to our next project!"
I drafted the script and let John shape the empathic tone he wished to impart as part of his philosophy around practicing law.
After a few iterations, we chose a muted palette with clean characters to guide us through the story.
While on calls with clients and listening to the soothing quality of their voice it sometimes strikes me as appropriate to have them narrate the video. This was especially fitting as John was selling himself as the service.
I send the first 20s of the complete animation to make sure the flow and pace is on track, then a full cut with more opportunities for feedback before mixing in music and sound for the final delivery.
I design sound and pick music that bring together all I learn about my clients and their services over the production process. This is one of my favorite perks in being a one-stop-shop.

"Beini lends clarity and energy to all the projects we have collaborated on together. She is reliable and expert in a range of mediums as well as design approaches. She brings a collaborative and curious attitude to her work and the results are elegant. She is an invaluable asset during both the conceptual and production phases and consistently goes above and beyond to deliver a kick ass product."
I wanted the title sequences to correlate with each award recipient's work or persona. I offered two creative directions - one geometric and abstract; the other illustrative, bold and loose.
Both creative directions were fully fleshed and presented to the client.
The animations lent a gravitas to the awards ceremony, by evoking the recipients' work which often dealt with heavy, contentious themes.
In addition to the title sequences, I created posters, logo animations, credits, lower third templates and a looping on-stage animation.
One sound library I used on this project is called 'Designed Plastic', where someone held a mic and recorded themselves stretching and ripping plastic items. Fun stuff!
