It was a while I was wondering a post on one of my favourite motion designer, so let me introduce Rob Chiu. English motion designer, director and photographer, in 2000 he founded “The Ronin”, motion design studio. Since then he’s reputation has grown and now he’s considered one of the most expert in motion graphic world wide, with a very unique style.

He studied graphic design at Manchester Metropolitan, but his motion skills are self-taught. His designing process depends on the project his working on, but the music/audio aspect is decisive for him. Rob prefers to start by an audio input to visualize images and animations in his mind.

More recently he became creative director for Beyond Magazine and writer for BD4D, plus speaker for MMU School of Design in Manchester.
