If You Know, You Know
Animated music-video as Baron Banhammer, built around rhythm, character, timing, and a visual style that moves with the track.

Music Video Projects
Sticky Keys
Another Baron Banhammer music-video project with a faster, sharper energy: bold motion, playful timing, and polished direction.
Playable Project
Orbital Array
A browser game project with fast decisions, readable motion, and a lot of tiny systems pushing against each other. It is playable now, which is always the most satisfying kind of prototype. Play it on desktop, or mobile! Expect bugs, and imbalance. If you can make it to the solar system mode, good on you!

Work History
I've handled the creative work and the production work.
Engel & Völkers, Bay Area
Managed Bay Area real estate marketing with the practical mix of design, coordination, deadlines, vendors, and brand consistency that the work demands.
Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty
Designed luxury real estate collateral and editorial layouts, including GATEWAY Magazine and Haute Living Magazine work.
Addictive Coffee
Kept operations, communication, schedules, and daily systems moving for a small business where being organized mattered every hour.
Morphonix + Team Krinoid
Animated, designed, and helped build educational and indie game projects including Neuroplay Adventures, Run With Bunnies, and Syz E.G.
Selected Work
Older projects, still part of the story.
Run With Bunnies + Galactic Adventure Squad
Mobile game projects where I handled art direction, animation, character design, level design, project management, and development support.
GATEWAY Magazine
Editorial design and production work for Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty's luxury magazine.
Morphonix Games and Apps
Educational game and app work focused on explaining the human brain through playful interactive design.
Illustrations and Drawings
Sketches, drawings, photography, and illustration work that show the hand-made side of my visual language.
Game Worlds
Games taught me how to make motion readable.
The game work is older, but it still matters. It shaped how I think about timing, feedback, characters, UI, and visual systems that have to work while they move.
What I Bring
I make unusual ideas feel clear, polished, and alive.
My work sits somewhere between animation, design, production, and problem-solving. I like projects with a pulse, a point of view, and enough structure to actually get finished.
Motion With Character
I like animation that has rhythm, personality, and a reason to be moving.
Design That Holds Up
I care about the look, but also the specs, deadlines, revisions, and production details.
Range With Focus
Music videos, games, magazines, marketing, illustration: different formats, same eye for momentum.
Profile
I like finished work with personality.
My path has bounced between real estate marketing, editorial design, coffee operations, learning games, indie games, and animated music videos. I like that mix. It made me flexible, practical, and allergic to work that only looks good in theory.
Contact
Let's make something useful and weird enough to remember.
I'm available for animation, design, marketing production, music-video visuals, game and app art, and projects that need someone who can move between ideas and execution. Email me to discuss your dreams: maxwberg@gmail.com
