Animation and motion graphics for businesses across Essex. From explainer videos that make a product click in seconds, to branded motion graphics, animated social content and training videos, we turn abstract ideas into clear, watchable animation. Based in Braintree, working with clients across Essex and beyond.

Animation isn’t decoration. Done well, it explains something words and live footage can’t, and that’s exactly when it earns its place.

Animation that explains, not just decorates.

Plenty of animation looks slick and says nothing. We start from the opposite end: what does the viewer need to understand, and what’s the clearest way to show it? Then we design the motion around that.

Every project is scripted and storyboarded before a single frame is animated, so you know exactly what you’re getting, and it lands the point.

What we animate

Built for the complex stuff.

Software and SaaS products, technical services, processes and “how it works” explainers, training and onboarding, animated social content, logo animations and product demos. If it’s hard to explain in words or film in the real world, animation is usually the answer.

We work with clients across Essex and, because animation doesn’t need us on-site, well beyond it too.

FAQ

Animation questions.

How much does an animated explainer video cost?

It depends on length, style and complexity, a short social animation is very different from a 90-second explainer with custom illustration and voiceover. Rather than a vague ballpark, tell me what you have in mind on a quick call and I’ll give you a fixed quote before we start, with no surprises.

What is the difference between animation and motion graphics?

Motion graphics animate text, shapes, icons, charts and logos, they’re perfect for explaining data, features or a process. Character animation brings illustrated people and scenes to life to tell a story. Both sit under “animation”, and most explainer videos use a mix of the two. We do both and advise on which suits your message.

What types of animation do you make?

Explainer videos, motion graphics, 2D character animation, animated logos and logo reveals, app and UI animation, animated social content and training videos. If you’re not sure which fits, we’ll recommend the right style for your audience and budget on the call.

How long should an explainer video be?

For a website or a sales pitch, 60 to 90 seconds is the sweet spot, long enough to make the point, short enough to hold attention. For social media, 15 to 30 seconds usually performs best. We’ll script to the shortest length that still lands the message.

Do you write the script and storyboard?

Yes. Every animation starts with a script and a storyboard that we share for your sign-off before any animating begins, so you shape the story and know exactly what you’re getting. It’s the single biggest reason an animation lands or falls flat.

Can you animate in our brand, logo and colours?

Yes. We design the whole animation in your brand, your colours, fonts, logo and style, so it feels like you and not a stock template. We can also animate your existing logo or characters.

Do you provide voiceover and music?

Yes. We can arrange professional voiceover and licensed music, and we handle the sound design so the finished animation is ready to use.

Can the animation be used on multiple platforms?

Yes, we deliver it sized and formatted for wherever you need it: website, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, presentations and more.

How long does an animation take to make?

A typical explainer takes two to four weeks depending on complexity and revisions. We’ll give you a clear timeline up front.

Do you work with businesses outside Essex?

Yes. We’re based in Braintree, Essex and work with local businesses across Chelmsford, Colchester and the county, but because animation doesn’t need us on-site, we make animations for clients across the UK and beyond.

Do you offer revisions?

Yes. Revisions are built into the process, we refine the animation with you until it’s right.

In two months I signed a £2.5k client from a single social post. Engagement through the roof, enquiries doubled, hired a full-time employee to keep up.

We've hit 3.2 million views on TikTok, which is a fantastic success. Lots of inquiries, lots of engagement from football fans, exactly the people we wanted to reach.

Rob PerkinsFootball Law

We loved working with Sam and the team. They really took the time needed to fully understand the project in its entirety. We're looking forward to continuing our work with The Sequence Agency.

Matt SavvidesUrmet UK

I used Sam & his team for a video shoot and I cannot thank them enough. Friendly team that put you at ease and the content created is so valuable. Thanks guys.

Seb Ward-SmithWard-Smith Interiors

We had a good experience working with the team at Sequence. They were able to produce some complicated industry-specific videos within a fairly rushed time-frame and we were very happy with the end result.

Ellishia ChardAutomation Consultants

Sequence has been fantastic in producing our new promo video and we could not be happier with the results. All we needed to do was give some ideas and they produced a script. Overall great, we will not hesitate to use in the future.
