Raul in pixel art at a laptop at night, with Puky lying by the desk

Hi, I'm Raul.

Let's get to know each other.

A while back, I got it into my head to make an animated channel, UIDFlix. I drew the characters after real people, made them move and wrote scripts for them. I had plenty of scenes ready, accounts on every platform and a site linking to them. There was still a lot to do, captions included.

I could add them by hand in After Effects or Premiere, but that meant typing them one by one. Premiere could add them on its own, just not in Romanian. CapCut managed, but wanted yet another subscription just for some captions. I wanted something simple that would do it automatically. That's all.

So I made myself a script. It had an ugly interface, but it did the job. Then I wanted to fix the text, then change the font and colours, then animate it, and the script started to look like a real program. At some point I deleted everything and started over, properly this time. That's how UIDCaption came about, and today it's bought by people I've never met. Meanwhile, UIDFlix is on pause for now.

The best moment was the first sale. The second was finding websites that wrote about UIDCaption. Only a few, but I didn't know any of them.

I really like this pixel style, that's why the site looks like this. For projects I pick the style that fits each one.

Puky

The dog beside me, from the picture at the top. You can run into him on the site too, wandering from one page to another. He has no fixed schedule and doesn't stay in one place for long, but if you keep an eye out, you might come across him. And when he shows up somewhere, anyone on that page at that moment sees him. At home it's much the same, except he also brings you his ball to throw and barks at you :))

How I work with you

  1. We talk about the idea

    You tell me what you have in mind, and I ask what it needs to do and who it is for.

  2. We settle the details

    I write down clearly what I will do, what it costs and when it will be ready. We don't start until you agree.

  3. I get to work

    Within the first days I show you something real, and you hear from me every few days, so you always know where things are.

  4. The project is yours

    You get everything: the access, the files and the passwords. If something breaks later, you know where to find me.
