What Rift Makes
Motion built for attention, clarity, and finish.
Motion Graphics
From 30-second commercial spots to title sequences and social-first loops, Rift turns static design into a piece viewers want to keep watching.
Visual Effects
Logo swaps, object removal, color changes, screen replacements, cleanup, and invisible fixes for scenes that need more control after the camera cuts.
Video Production
A production-minded animator who understands composition, light, audio, edit flow, and where motion can add value without overpowering the footage.
Agency Support
Flexible collaboration for creative directors, producers, and editors who need a specialist to take animation or VFX from brief to final delivery.
About Rift
Started in 2017, with a decade of experience already behind it.
Rift was founded by Scotty Kunkel after years of working with agencies, musicians, cameras, light, edit timelines, and motion design systems. That mix shows up in the work: practical on set, inventive in the animation pass, and focused on the finished message.
From New York to Los Angeles, India to Ireland, Rift has worked in a lot of places, but calls the Midwest home.
