Bachs Fintech Spec AD

The brief

I designed and animated a 25 second spec ad for Bachs, a fintech SaaS platform, introducing the product, what it does, who it's built for, and the problem it solves. I built the vector assets in Illustrator, then animated the full piece in After Effects, staying entirely in motion graphics with no live footage. Voiceover carries the narrative through each beat, pacing the reveal from problem to product to audience within the tight 25 second runtime. Bachs' brand colors anchor the palette throughout, keeping the piece feeling clean and cohesive as it moves through each section of the story.

How it got made.

    Concept & Messaging

    Before animating, I mapped out the ad's structure around the VO script: introduce the problem, show what Bachs does, and establish who it's for. Since this was a spec ad, I used the narrative to demonstrate how I'd position a fintech SaaS product from scratch.

    Storyboarding

    I storyboarded the ad in After Effects, timing each visual beat against the voiceover read to make sure the problem, product, and audience sections flowed naturally within the 25 second runtime.

    Illustration & Vector Assets

    I built the vector assets in Illustrator, designing everything around Bachs' brand colors to establish a clean, cohesive visual identity for the product from the first frame.

    Motion Graphics Animation

    In After Effects, I animated the full sequence in pure motion graphics, no live footage, so the product's problem to solution story stayed visually consistent throughout.

    VO Syncing

    Once the voiceover was in place, I synced the animation timing to the read, making sure each visual reveal landed exactly where the script called it out, keeping the pacing tight and intentional.

    Final Polish & Export

    I did a final pass on color consistency and transition timing, then exported the final cut.
