Motion & Animation
Frames that earn the scroll.
Logo motion, social cuts, explainer animation, 2D + 3D product films, and UI motion design. We deliver master files plus channel-specific cutdowns and embed-ready loops.
WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN IT.
Most studios bundle. We unbundle so you can see exactly what you're paying for and what to expect at handoff.

FROM BRIEF
TO HANDOFF.
Concept + storyboard
Script (if needed), storyboards, style frames. Lock the look before animation begins.

Rough timing pass with placeholder visuals. You see pacing before we polish. Fast revisions here are cheap; later they're not.
Production
Full animation, sound design, voiceover. Weekly reviews on rendered preview files.
Delivery
Master files + all channel-specific cuts. Source files (AE / Cinema 4D) handed over with documentation.

QUESTIONS
WE GET A LOT.
Do you do 3D?+
Yes — Cinema 4D + Redshift / Octane for most product and abstract work. For character animation or photoreal CGI we partner with specialist studios. We'll be upfront about which is which.
What's your delivery format?+
ProRes 4444 masters + all channel-specific cuts (9:16, 1:1, 16:9 in MP4 H.264 for social, GIF / WebM for web). Source files (AE, C4D) included on request.
Do you do voiceover?+
Yes — we have voice talent we work with regularly, or we'll cast specifically to brief. VO production is included in brand film / explainer pricing.
Can you make a template our team can run with after?+
Yes — we build templated After Effects projects with editable text, color, and asset slots. We'll train your team. This is a great option for brands needing a constant feed of motion variants.
How does motion play with the brand identity?+
Best when designed together. If we did your identity, motion is built into the system from the start. If we're picking up an existing brand, we'll define motion principles as part of the engagement.
