Animation and motion agency

Animation for ideas a camera can't capture

Animation effortlessly visualises the abstract, captures impossible perspectives, and transports your audience to environments that traditional film can't replicate.

Concepts made visible. Motion made meaningful.

We animate when motion is genuinely the best way to make something land. Then we make it beautiful and relevant so that your audience will be hooked until the end.

FAQs

  • 1.

    When should I choose animation over live action?

    When the thing you’re trying to show doesn’t exist yet, can’t be filmed safely, is too abstract to capture on camera, or would cost significantly more to produce as live action. Animation is the right call for complex technical processes, data visualisation, future-state concepts, and anything that needs to happen inside a human body, an infrastructure network, or a data centre. It’s also worth considering when you need global adaptability – an animated film is far easier to localise than one built around live-action footage of specific people and places.

    Do I need a script or storyboard before I come to you?

    No. A clear brief about what you’re trying to communicate and who you’re communicating it to is enough to start. We handle concept development, scripting, storyboarding and animatic approval as part of our process – you’ll see exactly how the film will look and feel before a single frame is animated.

    How long does an animated film take to produce?

    For a one to two minute explainer, typically four to eight weeks from brief to delivery. The timeline is driven by the approval stages – script, storyboard, style frames, animatic, and final animation – each of which needs sign-off before we proceed. Rushing approvals is the most common cause of delays, so we front-load the process with clear review deadlines. Shorter social formats can move faster.

    Are you using AI to generate animation?

    We use AI-assisted tools at specific points in our process – concept exploration, reference generation, and some post-production tasks – where they genuinely speed things up without compromising quality. What we don’t do is use generative AI to produce finished animation and present it as crafted work, it’s used to elevate as a tool. The illustrators and animators we hand-select for each project are chosen for their specific style and skill; the human craft is what makes the work distinctive rather than generic.

    Will the animation match our brand?

    Yes – that’s a core part of our brief process. We select the animator and illustration style to match your brand aesthetic, rather than applying a default house style to everything. You’ll see and approve style frames before animation begins, so there are no surprises. If you have an existing brand identity, motion guidelines, or design system, we work within them.
