Exconnect 2025
Client: Exness
Exness Connect was the first-ever global summit hosted by Exness, a leading multi-asset broker, held from June 18–22. The five-day event brought together over 350 top partners and affiliates from around the world with the goal of strengthening relationships and driving strategic growth within the Exness Partnership Programs.
I was commissioned to produce two animated videos for the event, showcasing key features of the Exness platform:
-
Video 1: A general overview of the platform’s capabilities.
-
Video 2: A more focussed demonstration of the newly integrated customer support feature.
The creative process began with the development of styleframes and a hand-drawn storyboard. These evolved into two fully illustrated storyboards, which formed the foundation for the final animations. I handled the animation and sound design, using an AI-generated voiceover, sound effects, and music to enhance the visual storytelling.
I built two rigs (technically four) to animate our main character, Leon. I started with the full character rig for walking and standing scenes, followed by a joysticks and sliders rig for the bust. This latter rig was repurposed for a couple of the other characters that appear across the two videos, they proved to be such a time saver.
The animation is a bit of everything I love, some character work, UI elements, nice smooth transitions and techy line stuff, really fun to create and I have to give credit to the team I worked with at Exness who were so open to everything I presented and the ideas and solutions that were pitched throughout the process of this project.
Customer Service Parts One and Two
The second video was broken into two parts, a small pause in the live presentation allowed the speakers to discuss some of the elements in the first half in greater detail. The storyboard was created with this small intermission in mind and ending and starting in the same way video 1 began was done intentionally so as to create a nice familiar image to bookmark the presenters.
