What We Bring
Motion is motion — the medium changes, the craft doesn't

There's a version of this page that lists categories. This isn't that.

Every discipline connects. A cinematographer understands light the same way a photographer does. A title sequence designer understands timing the same way a music director does. 15 years of film and broadcast motion design isn't a limitation — it's a lens. The same visual instinct, the same obsession with how a frame lands, applies whether the canvas is a theater screen, a festival stage, a product launch, or a phone. If it moves and it needs to mean something, this is what we bring to it.

01
Main Title Sequences
The anchor. Where the craft started and where it's most at home. Opening title sequences for film, television, and streaming — from first concept through final delivery. The work that plays before everything else, and stays with the audience long after.
Feature FilmSeriesStreamingBroadcast
02
Trailer & Campaign Graphics
Main title animation, internal graphics, and full campaign systems for theatrical and streaming releases. The same discipline that makes a title sequence land — applied to the 90 seconds that have to make someone decide they're watching this.
TheatricalStreamingTeasersFull Campaign
03
Live Events & Stage Graphics
A concert stage and a film screen are solving the same problem: how do you hold a room? Motion design and visual direction for live music events, concerts, festivals, and touring productions — built for the scale and energy of the live moment, with the craft of broadcast behind every frame.

04
Music Video & Motion Directing
Music and motion have always spoken the same language — timing, emotion, release. Motion design, graphic direction, and visual concept for music videos and artist content. Whether it's fully graphic-driven or woven into live footage, the instinct for what a frame needs to feel like comes from the same place it always has.

05
Brand Motion & Identity
A brand that moves well is a brand that's remembered. Custom typefaces, logo animations, and motion identity systems built to hold authority at any scale — from a studio logo that plays in front of every film to a full campaign visual language across every touchpoint. This is what 15 years of title design looks like applied to a brand.

06
Product & Marketing Campaigns
Product design, fashion, culinary, interior — every discipline has a visual language. Motion design for product launches, brand campaigns, and marketing activations brings that same cross-industry thinking to the commercial world. Cinematic quality, visual precision, built to perform in the market.
Product LaunchBrand CampaignDigitalOOH
07
Social & Content Motion
The shortest canvas doesn't mean the least craft — it means the most intentional. Short-form motion built for social platforms with broadcast-level polish and the instinct to make every second count. Reels, loops, campaign content, and serialized visual storytelling for brands and artists.

08
Creative Direction
Sometimes what a project needs isn't a vendor — it's a creative partner who's been in the room. Senior creative leadership for agencies, studios, and brands who need a director with deep motion and visual experience embedded in a project from the start. Available for select partnerships and retainer engagements.
Agency EmbedProject LeadRetainerConsulting
Don't see your world in here? Bring it. The whole point is that the discipline translates. If your project moves and needs to resonate — whatever the industry, whatever the canvas — let's talk about what we can bring to it.

Soulieri Studio · Est. 2026 · San Diego, CA
Founded by
Devin
Ballard
Creative Director · Motion Design · Main Titles

Soulieri is my studio. Built from 15 years of motion design across some of the most recognized title sequences, campaigns, and visual systems in film and television — and launched because I wanted to bring that level of craft directly to the projects that deserve it, on my own terms.

Every project credited on this site was directed and designed by me at agencies throughout my career. That body of work is what shaped the vision, process, and standards that Soulieri is built on. Soulieri is where that experience comes to life independently — one creative director, full studio capabilities, no layers between the vision and the work.

The work in the portfolio above was created by Devin Ballard during his career at Greenhaus GFX, The Refinery, and MOCEAN. It represents the creative background and expertise he brings to Soulieri — not work produced by Soulieri Studio.

How I work
Four phases · zero shortcuts
Phase 01
Immersion
Read the script. Watch the cut. Live in the world of the project before a single frame is made.
Phase 02
Concept
2–3 distinct directions. Each one a different answer to: what does this story feel like before it starts?
Phase 03
Build
Typography. Texture. Motion. Timing. The sequence has to breathe with the music before the story begins.
Phase 04
Deliver
Broadcast-ready. Every format. On time. 50% upfront. Kill fee in every contract. IP on final payment.
SOULIERI

Let's build
something real.

Every project starts with a direct conversation — with me, Devin, from day one. Tell me what you're making and I'll tell you what I can bring to it. I respond to every inquiry personally within 48 hours. NDA available on request.
