Here you can find some of the animations that I have done for various clients.
The tools I use are mostly After Effects ( along with Photoshop and Illustrator ), Animate ( which I use since the times when it was called Macromedia Flash ), but also Krita and DaVinci Resolve.
Animation deals with giving life to static images - this is the reason why in many of the book trailers below I've had the occasion to animate the original illustrations to these books. Sometimes I have the opportunity to use my own artwork - depending on the situation...

A wild book about boars
2020
Animating illustrations starts usually with cutting into pieces in Photoshop. The author of the beautiful illustrations in this book actually cut them out of different kinds of paper...
Animating this was fun - but not as much as adding the boar "voiceovers" to the movie...

Z Bożej łaski Jadwiga, król

Sometimes the book has no illustrations (or the publisher doesn’t need me to use them) – this gives me more creative freedom. This was the case of the trailer for a story taking place in 15th century Poland, in the court of queen Jadwiga:

Inne
The three clips below are something different, as they were made not to sell books, but to commemorate the 1050th anniversary of the baptism of Poland. There were twelve clips, every one was about the influence of this event on one aspect of Polish history (the one included here is about art)
Sometimes – when I have some free time, I make animated cards, mostly with Christmas or Easter greetings:
