Hi! I'm Lance Theunissen, a freelance Motion Designer living in the beautiful city of Cape Town in South Africa.
Using over a decade of experience, I craft beautiful animation with meaningful stories.
I love getting to know new people, learning and experiencing new things and asking "what if?".
I love getting to know new people, learning and experiencing new things and asking "what if?".
I enjoy the challenge of taking a project all the way from ideation, through storyboarding, design, illustration all the way to final animation and hitting that render button.
When I'm not working on awesome projects I enjoy spending time with my family, skateboarding, watching a horror movie or eating something spicy!
If you're looking to create a video to elevate or advertise your brand, hype a product or process with an explainer video or even make short form content to get eyes and engagement on your social media pages get in touch, I'd love to help!


What my clients say about me

“The reality of working in a creative industry means some jobs have time, and others come along with no time, high expectations and little guidance.
Lance was kind enough to help me through one of these very difficult projects, coming on board last minute, working through the night to ensure delivery and taking the initiative to interpret the direction needed and run with it.
Lance delivered, and he did so under very difficult circumstances, and most importantly he did so with grace and professionalism.”
