Animation & motion graphics.

Some ideas are impossible to film, abstract software, a process, a concept, a number. That’s what animation is for. We make explainer videos, branded motion graphics and animated content that make the complicated instantly clear.

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.

How it works

From idea to finished animation, in five steps.

01

Discovery

A call to understand your product, your audience and what the animation needs to do.

02

Script & storyboard

We write the script and storyboard every scene before a frame is animated.

03

Design & animate

We design the visual style in your brand and bring it to life in motion.

04

Voiceover & sound

Professional voiceover, music and sound design to finish it properly.

05

Deliver

Ready-to-use animation, sized for every platform you need it on.

Behind the scenes

From storyboard to screen.

Every animation starts as a script and a storyboard, then comes to life frame by frame in Adobe After Effects. This is a quick look at how we actually make them, the same craft that goes into your project.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. We can arrange professional voiceover and licensed music, and we handle the sound design so the finished animation is ready to use.
Yes, we deliver it sized and formatted for wherever you need it: website, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, presentations and more.
A typical explainer takes two to four weeks depending on complexity and revisions. We’ll give you a clear timeline up front.
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.
Yes. Revisions are built into the process, we refine the animation with you until it’s right.

A great animation and product for my small business, a creative spin on my original idea. It's already brought more customers in. Couldn't recommend more!
