Animation and motion graphics
As an animation agency with a small yet incredibly talented team of creative experts, we know that animation as a term can be a can of worms.
To discover how an animated video company like ourselves can help you, we will explore precisely what’s involved in animated video production and how it can take your business to the next level.
What is Animation in Video Production?
Animation can also be referred to as ‘motion design’, and really there are endless variants and versions in video production. Put simply, animation describes a technique of creating the illusion of movement through a series of drawings or models. It can also be at its most effective when using 3D, either by itself or combined with 2D content.
Animation (or even video) is the umbrella term for many different services, including explainer videos, TV commercials and social media video production. Animations tend to focus on storytelling whereas motion graphics are the moving version of its sister discipline – graphic design. Think of motion graphics as educational/informative and animation as emotive. Though, the lines can (and often do) blur. Linguistics aside, we love and can help with all forms of video creation.
How animated video content can help you?
Ideas, feelings and emotions can be communicated in an effective and powerful manner through moving content. Deploying motion graphics into a campaign elevates your message and increases its engagement. It can also have other, less tangible results such as increasing your brands reach, awareness and perception.
The best way to establish what work you’d like doing is by giving us a call.
What does the animation process look like?
Typically there are two halves to a motion project:
Pre-production – Animation is full of intricate details and carefully synced moments. To ensure the time is spent in the areas that are most beneficial, it’s important that we iron out all the paperwork and start off on the right track. Then, we can help with script creation and visual direction (where necessary). Starting off with the strongest possible foundations will pay dividends down the line.
Production – This is the fun part where we roll up our design sleeves and start to solve those pesky problems. We’ll work with your brand identity to create some style frames (such as mood boards for motion designers) which will then be sent to you for approval. Then we can start to animate the piece.
