Service · 2D motion graphics

Motion graphics turn abstract ideas into shapes, icons, type and UI that move with purpose. We design every frame to match your brand, then animate it so it feels smooth, modern and easy to understand.

The short answer

In one paragraphA 2D motion graphics explainer uses animated shapes, icons, typography and simplified interfaces, rather than characters or live footage, to explain an idea. It suits B2B and tech products because it can show abstract things like data, workflows and integrations clearly, and it stays on-brand.

Not every product has a face. Data pipelines, AI models, payments and security are hard to film and easy to get wrong with stock footage. 2D motion graphics give you full control: every shape, colour and transition is designed for your message.

We start with style frames, a few still images that set the look, so you see exactly how the video will feel before a single frame is animated.

What you get

3–5 weeks for a 60–90 second explainer, from approved brief to final files. 2 rounds of revisions at each stage (script, storyboard, animation).

  • Style frames that set colour, type and illustration style
  • Full storyboard of every scene
  • Frame-by-frame 2D animation with smooth, natural easing
  • Kinetic typography and animated data visuals where they help
  • A small motion kit (logo sting, transitions) you can reuse
  • Final files in 16:9, 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16, plus a captioned version
Where it works

Abstract or technical products

Show data, models and integrations in a way anyone can follow.

Brand and launch films

A polished piece that sets the tone for your brand or new release.

Social content

Short, looping motion pieces that stop the scroll on LinkedIn and Instagram.

Events and pitches

Openers and loops for conference screens, demos and investor meetings.

How we approach it

  1. 01

    Design first

    Good motion starts with good frames. You approve the look before animation begins.

  2. 02

    Motion with meaning

    Every move points the eye to the next idea, so the story flows instead of just moving.

  3. 03

    Your brand, extended

    We turn your brand guide into a motion language you can reuse in future videos.

  4. 04

    Smooth by default

    Careful easing and timing make the animation feel natural, never jumpy.

Questions

What is the difference between 2D animation and motion graphics?

2D animation is the broad term for flat animation, including characters. Motion graphics is a type of 2D animation built from shapes, icons, type and UI. Most B2B explainers use motion graphics, sometimes with simple characters. If your story is about people, a 2D character explainer often works better, and we make both.

Do you do 3D?

We focus on 2D motion graphics because it fits software products best and keeps timelines short. We can add simple 2.5D depth and lighting where it helps.

Can you match our brand guidelines?

Yes. Send your brand guide, logo files and fonts. If you don’t have a guide, we’ll create style frames that extend your website’s look.

What do I receive at the end?

Final files in 16:9, 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16, plus a captioned version. You own the final video outright. Project source files are included on request.
