I’m Morteza Khalaj — a 3D Motion Designer and Visual Director focused on cinematic storytelling through product and brand animation.
With a background in architecture and a deep interest in design systems, I help brands and creative teams turn abstract ideas into clear, emotionally engaging 3D narratives. From concept development and storyboarding to animation, editing, and final delivery, I lead with strategy and finish with polish.
I specialize in clean, crafted motion that blends visual precision with narrative clarity — often working closely with clients and collaborators to define the core message before a single frame is rendered. Most of my work is built in Cinema 4D and Redshift, where I combine form, lighting, and camera direction to deliver high-impact, design-driven visuals.
Beyond client projects, I create exploratory animations to push technique, define my voice, and build new creative momentum. My mindset is always evolving — but my goal stays constant: to make visuals that feel good and communicate clearly.
What People Say
Working with Morteza was a rare mix of clarity and surprise. He understood our product’s soul better than we did and brought it to life with visuals that felt both luxurious and emotionally tuned. He’s not just a 3D animator—he’s a visual partner.

Morteza elevated our product beyond a spec sheet. His cinematic touch turned our wireless charger into a story—elegant, rhythmic, and tactile. He’s not just hitting briefs; he’s creating atmosphere. His intuition and restraint were exactly what we needed.
Emily V.
Head of Brand, Ora Design Studio, Amsterdam
We needed more than animation—we needed emotion. Morteza’s visual storytelling brought clarity and warmth to a topic that often feels cold and technical. His work made our mission feel human. The visuals still linger in people’s minds.

We had two weeks to launch and a mountain of unknowns. Morteza stepped in and not only delivered—it felt like he’d been with us from day one. Calm under pressure, focused, and incredibly sharp in how he brought visual coherence across every shot.
