Gianni Arone

Sr. Motion Designer · Editor · Social & Digital Content

Twenty years in digital media, most of it as a senior motion designer and editor. Warner Music Group, seven years at Fullscreen cutting and animating daily social content for Disney, Marvel, Sony and AMC, then agency motion design. A Webby, a Bronze Clio and two Shorty Awards for social video, and over a billion GIPHY views. I animate, edit, shoot, write and post, and over the last two years I have designed and shipped four live web products end to end. Now on the maintenance crew at Evolution24 Properties, consulting on their digital operations. Rochester based, tight turnarounds welcome.
