Animation & motion graphics · Essex

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.

Meet Sam

Founder & Creative Lead

I've spent ten years across video, design and animation, which means the motion graphics on your project are made by the same person who understands the story and the brand behind it. When you book a call, you're talking to me.

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. Tell me what you have in mind on a quick call and I’ll give you a fixed quote before we start.

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.

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.
