ABOUT ME
I'm Markus Jäschke, a freelance After Effects specialist and motion designer with over 25 years of experience in commercial post-production.
Since 1998, I have completed more than 500 projects for brands such as Henkel, Ford, VW, Toyota, Vodafone, AXA, Hyundai, Rewe and many more.
My focus is on motion graphics, spot localization, social media adaptation, compositing and retouching — primarily for TV and cinema commercials. I localize commercials for international markets in numerous languages and adapt 16:9 TV spots to social media formats such as 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5.
I prefer working remotely from Dormagen (Cologne-Düsseldorf area) and am available on short notice. On-site assignments are possible spontaneously in the Rhineland, nationwide and internationally by arrangement.
In addition to After Effects, I use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and current video and image AI tools. I have previously worked at VCC and dfign/das werk Düsseldorf, and have been freelancing for renowned post-production houses for many years.
