frametouch - filmmaker & motion designer

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I'm a filmmaker & motion designer from Slovakia, currently living in Toronto.
frametouch is my creative workroom focused on visual content. My filmmaking background allows me to have a different perspective on projects. Passion for motion design turned into commissioned work for clients and studios all around the world. This allowed me to work and live in places like New York, Brazil, Scotland, Slovakia, and Canada. My ultimate goal is to communicate the desired brand content with a creative approach and exciting storytelling.
