-
Animation brings illustrated characters or environments to life through movement, typically used for storytelling or explainer content. Motion graphics focus on animated text, icons, and branded graphic elements used to communicate information clearly. Many projects combine both.
-
Short-form motion graphics typically take 2-3 weeks. Fully custom animated explainer videos usually take 4-8 weeks, covering scripting, storyboarding, design, animation, sound, and revisions.
-
No. We often develop the script and visual concept simultaneously so the messaging and animation are built together from the start, which typically produces a stronger final video.
-
Yes. We design animations for multi-platform delivery from the start, including 16:9 for web and YouTube, 9:16 for vertical social, and 4:5 for feeds.
-
Yes. Motion graphics perform well on social media because they communicate quickly and hold up in silent autoplay environments where most users scroll without sound.
-
Animation works best for explaining complex or abstract concepts that are difficult to film. Live-action is better for human connection and authenticity. Many projects combine both approaches for the strongest result.
