Summary
Jonah Tobias is a senior video editor, motion designer and 3D animator with over 20 years of creative experience blending cinematic storytelling with technical pipeline development. He’s the creator of the TED Talks intro animation (played at the start of each talk) and has shaped motion work seen by billions, plus contributed key graphics to documentaries and campaigns that influenced national policy. Jonah runs his own studio, delivering high-profile motion pieces—from Olympic and World Cup bid presentations to live-event projection systems—while also leading VFX shoots that integrate camera match-moving and 3D compositing. At the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety he applies his craft to clear, research-driven visual communication, and he’s built rapid workflows and scripting tools for tight live-production schedules. Trained with a BFA in Fine Arts, he brings a hybrid sensibility of designer, technologist and storyteller who routinely turns complex data and ideas into memorable, policy-shaping visuals.
