Dan Rice is a director and motion designer with over 15 years’ experience across film, broadcast and commercial work.
He specialises in leading motion-driven projects from concept through to delivery — shaping visual direction, building cohesive systems and guiding teams toward a unified creative outcome. His background in hands-on motion design informs his leadership, allowing him to communicate clearly with operators while maintaining a strong strategic view of the final result.
Dan has collaborated with studios, brands and directors to develop title sequences, brand systems and commercial campaigns that balance clarity, craft and character. Whether operating independently or leading a team, his focus remains the same: considered execution and a clear visual point of view.
Alongside his commercial work, he continues to explore physical and tactile processes — integrating subtle analogue experimentation into contemporary workflows where appropriate. This ongoing exploration informs his creative direction, adding texture and depth without compromising precision.
Based in Brisbane, Dan works with clients locally and internationally.
