Design, then animate
We draw the system first: type, color, cadence and what is allowed to move. Animation follows the rules, not the other way around.
How we think about it
A few convictions we will not abandon mid-project.
Built for real placements
Work is designed for the ratio, duration and context it will actually meet, from a homepage hero to a thirty-second cutdown.
A library, not a one-off
When a brand will keep making motion, we leave behind components and guidance, not a single hero file.
Deliverables
What the work typically includes.
Every brief is different. This is the usual shape — we will write a tighter list once we understand yours.
- Title design and brand ident systems
- Product and feature explainers
- Launch films and event openers
- UI motion and digital product animation
- Ongoing motion libraries and templates
Process
A path from the first conversation to a finished thing.
Brief
Name the job the motion has to do, and every surface it has to survive on.
System
Lock type, color, timing and a short set of rules before a single frame is animated.
Animate
Build in passes, reviewing against the system rather than taste alone.
Adapt
Cut and reframe for the placements that matter, without breaking the language.
Hand over
Deliver masters, variants and, when useful, a motion kit the team can keep using.
Use cases
When this is usually the right conversation.
- A product film that has to explain without talking down.
- An identity that needs to move on a site, a reel and a stage.
- A yearly event opener that should feel new without inventing a new brand.
Questions we are asked
A short FAQ.
Do you work in 2D, 3D or live-action composites?
Whatever the idea needs, within a budget that can actually finish. We will not propose a 3D world if a typographic system will do a better job.
Can motion follow an existing brand kit?
Yes. We would rather inherit a strong kit and find the movement in it than decorate around a gap.
How do you handle feedback on animation?
In rounds, against the agreed system. We avoid open-ended “make it pop” notes by showing stills and timing charts before a full render.
