Motion graphics isn't just fancy animation — it's one of the most remarkable ways to communicate. I help creatives turn that craft into systems, products and income that outlast the next client call.
I'm Apostolos Roussas — entrepreneur and animator. I founded CandyMustache, creating custom motion graphics for brands like Adobe, Microsoft and Maxon, and today I own Vidimize, AI production infrastructure for video editors and motion designers.
Alongside client work, I share what I've learned from making over $300K in a year selling video templates through free courses, tools and 1:1 consulting — from a studio based in Athens, Greece.
