Motion Graphics

Animation that explains something a static image cannot — product walkthroughs, interface motion and title systems.

THE PROBLEM

Something about the product is hard to explain in a static image, and explaining it in text loses people before the point lands.

What we usually hear
  • Product value that only becomes obvious in motion
  • Interface animation specified vaguely and implemented inconsistently
  • Assets needed in different formats for every platform
  • Motion added as decoration rather than to aid comprehension

HOW WE APPROACH IT

Design with a job to do

We storyboard before producing, because the expensive mistakes happen in animation rather than in planning.

Interface motion is specified so engineering can implement it exactly rather than approximate it.

Assets are exported per platform, sized correctly for each placement.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Deliverables

  • Storyboard and animatic before production
  • Motion assets in the formats each platform needs
  • Interface motion specifications engineering can implement
  • Source project files

WHAT CHANGES

Business outcomes

  • Complex ideas understood quickly
  • Interface motion that is consistent and implementable
  • Correctly formatted assets for each channel
  • Editable source files retained

TECHNOLOGY

What we typically build with

Selected against your constraints and your team's ability to maintain it — not against fashion.

  • After Effects
  • Lottie
  • Figma
  • Rive
  • Motion specification

HOW WE DELIVER IT

The same five phases, every time

See the full twelve-stage process for what each phase produces.

01

Discovery

We map the business problem and define success in measurable terms.

02

Architecture

Technology and data decisions made against your constraints, documented with reasoning.

03

Design

Journeys and interfaces resolved on screen, including everything that goes wrong.

04

Engineering

Short cycles ending in working software, reviewed and tested before it merges.

05

Deploy & Scale

Automated release, monitoring in production, and support as usage grows.

QUESTIONS

About motion graphics

Can you animate our existing interface?

Yes, and we deliver the specification engineering needs rather than a video they have to guess from.

Do you provide Lottie files?

Yes, where web or app implementation calls for them.

How long does a product animation take?

It depends on length and complexity. We scope after seeing the product and agreeing the story.
