Alex Ardino | 2025 Recap Reel

2025 you were a hell of a ride!

This reel showcases some of my highlights freelancing in 2025 including my most inspirational and challenging client projects, as well as some portfolio work involving continued development in character animation and 3D skills using C4D from the C4D Ascent course I took at the beginning of the year by School of Motion. From case studies to explainers, campaign rollouts to motion branding, hype reels to animated infographics, it’s been a year of sharpening skills, refining my approach and crafting work I’m proud of.
