2D animation remains one of the most flexible and cost-effective styles of animation. Using engaging graphics and illustrations, our artists create content that communicates your story with simplicity and style.
Companies in healthcare, education, and technology frequently use 2D animation for explainer videos, training tools, and social media campaigns. It’s an effective way to make complex topics more digestible for audiences.

As one of the leading Manchester animation studios, our aim is always to produce content that connects with your audience while staying true to your brand identity.

For brands looking to add depth, realism, and immersion to their visuals, 3D animation is the perfect solution. Through advanced 3D modelling and rendering, our team produces lifelike animations that bring products, services, and environments to life.
3D animation is widely used across industries such as pharmaceuticals, energy, and construction. It enables businesses to visualise infrastructure, showcase products before production, and demonstrate complex scientific ideas in a way that will captivate any audience.
Tricks has helped organisations like AstraZeneca and Saint Gobain harness 3D animation to communicate innovation and inspire audiences. With our experience, clients can share not just information, but imagination, in ways that static visuals can’t achieve

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best animation studio in Manchester?
Tricks is widely regarded as one of the best and leading animation studios in Manchester - but obviously we were going to say that! After all, it’s our FAQ! But we have worked with leading global brands like AstraZeneca, EDF Renewables, and Biogen. We combine our knowledge, creativity and expertise in storytelling to explain what you do and how you do it through stunning 2D and 3D animation.
Do you offer 2D and 3D animation services in Manchester?
We specialise in both 2D & 3D animation from our Manchester studio. Are you looking for explainer videos? Product visualisations? Looking to tell your brand story? We have over a decade of experience delivering results-driven animation.
Where is your animation studio located in Manchester?
Our Manchester Animation studio is based in Ancoats within the vibrant Northern Quarter. Yeah, you guessed it. One of those cool looking former warehouses which is now one of the city’s most exciting creative districts in the north of the UK. It perfectly reflects our innovative approach to animation.
What industries do you work with?
Whether you’re based in healthcare, healthcare, renewable energy, consulting, and entertainment we work with industries you know and those you have never even heard of.
Why choose an animation studio in Manchester?
It was sometime in the 1950s that a certain little studio pioneered regional television, that was Granada. Then in the late 70s, there was a certain music label that spurred the way for dance, pop and then Brit Pop. That was Factory Records. Creativity runs through every brick and vein in this city and that’s why choosing a Manchester Animation studio is the only sensible choice for top level creativity.
How is Tricks different from other Manchester animation studios?
Everyone wants to say they’re unique and in fact we all are. Tricks are made up of people who just think differently. Gordon for example hates sudoku but loves a perfectly poured Guinness. Jim is best found walking his dog, mainly for creative inspiration and definitely not to escape the house. One of our script writers is weirdly fascinated by pizza dough hydration… we could go on. We think variety is what makes us different, it helps us solve business challenges, and reflect Manchester’s cutting-edge spirit.
Can I visit your Manchester studio for a project consultation?
Absolutely, but by appointment only. Our studio is easily accessible by train, car, and Manchester Airport.
Do you provide animation for marketing and social media campaigns?
Oh hell yes! We make engaging animations tailored for platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Wherever its going and whatever the platform, you get something that fits its purpose.
How do I start a project with your Manchester animation team?
You can simply get in touch with our team on the contact functions on our website. We will arrange a call and see if there is a project which we can work on together. We think that there’s always a story to be told. Whether that’s the latest advances in medical technology, advanced construction techniques or just adding a cool visualisation to your website.
