Motion Graphics
Static Ideas. Made Dynamic.
What We Do
Static images describe. Motion graphics demonstrate. When your product is complex, your process is multi-step, or your data tells a story that needs movement to land, motion graphics are the right tool.
We create animated explainers that make complicated ideas immediately accessible, logo animations that give your brand energy when it enters a frame, social media video content built for the short-attention-span formats that dominate feeds, data visualizations that make statistics feel tangible, and product feature highlights that show rather than tell. No camera crew required. Motion graphics produce high-quality video content at a fraction of live-action production cost, and they are infinitely repeatable without scheduling another shoot.
How We Work
We start with your message and work backward to the motion. Every project begins with a script or narrative outline, because movement without a clear idea behind it is just noise. Once the message is locked, we build a storyboard that maps the visual journey frame by frame. Style frames follow: one to three fully rendered still images that establish the visual language of the animation before any motion is created.
You approve the look before we animate a single frame. Animation production then proceeds in sections so you can review and request adjustments before the entire piece is locked. Sound design, music licensing, and voiceover are integrated in the final pass. Deliverables include every platform format you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Motion graphics use animated illustrations, text, and shapes rather than live-action footage. They are ideal for explaining concepts, visualizing data, and creating branded content without a camera crew.
A 30 to 60 second animated explainer typically takes 3 to 5 weeks from concept to delivery. Shorter social content can be completed in 1 to 2 weeks.
MP4 for web, MOV for broadcast, GIF for email, and platform-specific formats for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube. We deliver every file you need.
Yes. We bring your logos, icons, illustrations, and infographics to life with motion. If you have Figma or Illustrator source files, we work directly from those.
A 60 to 90 second animated explainer typically ranges from $3,000 to $8,000 depending on style complexity and length. Simpler social content clips start around $800. Logo animations start at $500.
Yes, if we retain the source files. We archive all After Effects and source files so future updates require less time and cost than starting from scratch.
We write the script based on a brief you provide. You review and approve before animation begins. If you have a script ready, we work from that.
