About Ankit Banait
I\'m a motion designer who has embraced the power of Generative AI to push the boundaries of visual storytelling. My journey began with a deep passion for video editing, classic animation and motion graphics, where I honed my skills in art direction, timing, and narrative flow.For the past four years I have been working with smallcase, currently leading a talented inhouse studios team of five. This role has allowed me to direct and execute a wide variety of video projects, reinforcing my belief in being a hands-on problem-solver.Today, my approach is a hybrid one. I blend this team leadership and project experience with cutting-edge AI, constantly staying updated with the ever-changing technology. By doing so, I can transform abstract ideas into digital experiences that are not only technically innovative but also emotionally resonant.Core ExpertiseGen AI, Motion Design & Video adsAI ToolkitRunwayML, Pika Labs, Veo 3, HeyGen, Higgsfield, Hailuo, FreePik AI, Seedance, Kling AI, Pixverse AI
