ERIK BUTH
I'm a creative director, director, and motion designer with over two decades of work spanning commercial production, independent art, and digital products.
My commercial career has been built in studios and on sets, directing commercials, designing title sequences, editing film trailers, and producing network promos for major brands, agencies, and studios. I move between live action, 2D motion graphics, and 3D animation, and I've directed shoots on green-screen stages, built sets, and locations across the country and internationally. I'm most useful when I'm involved from concept through execution, and I think clearly about how to get from a client's actual problem to a finished piece that surprises people.
Alongside the commercial work, I've spent over a decade building hexeosis, an independent digital art practice focused on geometric animation. What began as a deliberate commitment to a single visual idea became a body of work with a global audience of over 150,000 across platforms, online exhibitions, press features, a funded Kickstarter, commissioned visuals, direct-to-collector releases, and a webstore that has shipped worldwide. It's the part of my practice where I set my own constraints and follow my own curiosity, and it directly feeds the creative instincts I bring to client work.
More recently, I've been working in immersive and large-format media, interactive environments, and independent software, including a mobile app I designed and built from the ground up.
I'm always looking for projects that reward bold creative thinking and meticulous craft. If that sounds like yours, let's talk.
