Motion Graphics & Animation

When there is nothing to film, it gets built frame by frame.

  • 2–4 weeks from approved script

Some films have nothing to point a camera at — a sales figure, an app flow, a product that does not exist yet, an idea. Those get animated.

We have made this for Xiaomi, including a sales announcement built entirely in After Effects with no footage in it at all.

What's included

  • Script and storyboard before any animation starts
  • Style frames so the look is agreed on paper
  • Design of every element in the film
  • Animation in After Effects
  • Sound design and music licensing
  • Versions sized for TV, YouTube, reels and stories

How we work

  1. 01 Script The script comes first, because an animated second costs more than a filmed one and rewriting after animation has begun is the expensive mistake.
  2. 02 Storyboard and style frames You see two or three fully designed frames from the film before it moves. That is where the look is agreed.
  3. 03 Design the assets Every element that will move is designed and built — type, illustration, product renders, UI.
  4. 04 Animate Animation in After Effects, reviewed at a rough pass before polish so timing changes are cheap.
  5. 05 Sound and deliver Sound design and licensed music, then the formats you need — 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16 from the same build.

What you receive

  • Master film in your delivery spec
  • 1:1 and 9:16 versions from the same build
  • Logo sting or end card as a reusable asset
  • Licensed music with the licence document
  • Style frames as stills
  • Project files on request

Questions people ask

Can you animate our existing logo?

Yes. If you have the vector file it is straightforward; if you only have a JPEG we redraw it first, and that is quoted separately.

Do you do explainer videos?

Yes — see the explainer film page, which is the same craft applied to a teaching job rather than a launch.

Is the music licensed?

Always, and you get the licence document with the delivery. We do not ship a film with music you cannot legally use.

How long is a typical film?

Thirty to ninety seconds for a launch or announcement. Longer costs more per second, not less.
