From establishing a visual identity, to transforming the complex into compelling stories, professional motion graphic and animation is both appealing and easily digestible, perfectly shareable for today’s crowded digital landscape.
Make It Simple For Your Audience
Simplify Your Message
Utilising motion graphics gives you clarity in your communications. You can transform intricate ideas into clear, easy to understand visuals, making the message far more accessible.
Learning Boost
The majority of the world are visual-learners, meaning they can grasp information and concepts far more effectively when presented as graphics.
Break It Down
By using step-by-step processes, you make information bite-sized and easy to follow. This ensures messaging is understood and retained.
No One Reads Anything
People will skim read text when presented with lots of information (you’re probably doing it right now). Heavy blocks of text are instantly reduced, when using various mediums like image, text, video, illustration.
Facts Tell, Stories Sell
Emotion means you’re felt, not heard.
By making something compelling, you’re making your story memorable and impactful. Think John Lewis Christmas Advert.
Abstract to Real

Our Motion Graphics Expertise
Motion design storytelling: telling your story memorably, step-by-step.
Motion graphics by a full-service motion design and animation agency like Tricks Studio play a pivotal role in contemporary brand communications. From attention-grabbing animated explainers to communicative corporate graphics, through crafted motion design storytelling, we capitalise on the dynamic and engaging mediums captivating today’s audiences across digital platforms.
Realising Your Vision
Using a detailed storyboard showing every key moment of the story, you’ll understand what’s happening and when. There’ll be script notes for any narration by a voiceover artist, and animation notes to talk about direction. This goes hand in hand with a small series of styleframes that quite literally show the style of the finished piece.
Words With Meaning
By bringing your words to life, they move with purpose, carrying your message with rhythm and flow. Whether all the text is on screen, or just some, the way in which the information is delivered is crucial to understanding and memorability. By highlighting key words or phrases, we can hold attention where it matters most.
Elevating Your Data
Data’s your most important asset, it tells you what’s happened and helps you forecast the future. It’s vital to treat it with the importance it deserves. Making data digestible is key to success, by simplifying information and amplifying understanding.
Moving Your Brand Forward
A brand is more than a logo or a colour, it’s a community of raving fans. By elevating your logo through motion graphics, you give it the opportunity to help tell your story.
The Final Flourish
Audio adds depth and emotion to motion graphics. When objects move in real life, they have sounds. Turning a page of a book doesn’t feel realistic if you don’t hear the crinkle of the paper. This is how something good is elevated to something great. A voiceover allows more information to be taken off the screen, and lets the visuals become simpler and more powerful. Finally post-production ensures graphics are perfected, sound is balanced and messaging resonates.
