Animation
Adelaide Animation & Motion Design
The short version: Motion design for brands. Animated logos, social content, product explainers and screens. Logo reveals start from $1,200.
Graphic design that moves gets noticed. A logo that animates, a product that assembles itself, a few seconds of motion in a feed full of still images: that’s what stops a thumb mid-scroll. We create animation and motion design for Adelaide brands that want to move, in every sense.
Who this is for
- Brands that want their social to stand out in a busy feed
- Businesses with a product or service that’s easier to show than explain
- Anyone with a static logo that could work harder
- Brands running screens at events, expos or in-store
- Businesses that already have a brand and want to bring it to life
Where motion earns its keep
Motion works hardest in the places people scroll fastest: social feeds, your website hero, a screen at an event, a product explainer. 5 seconds of well-made animation says what a paragraph can’t, and people hold onto it longer.
Why motion works now
Every major platform pushes video and motion harder than static posts, so a moving piece tends to reach more people for the same effort. It also holds attention longer, which matters when you’ve got a second or two to make an impression.
You don’t need a big production to see the benefit. A single animated logo or a short loop lifts a feed that’s otherwise all still images.
What we make
- Logo animations and the short branded sting that opens or closes a video
- Social content built to move, sized for each platform
- Explainer and product animations
- Motion for websites and for screens at events or in-store
We’ve done this for Video Savvi, Jackson Square and Concord amongst others.
It uses your existing brand
Because we design brands as well, the motion uses your real colours, type and assets. It reads as your identity moving, with the same consistency as everything else you put out.
Where clients use it most
The top of a website, where it makes a first impression a still image can’t. Social feeds, where it stops the scroll. Product explainers, where showing beats telling. And screens at events or in-store, where a loop pulls people in from across a room.
If you’re not sure where motion would help you most, that’s part of what we work out at the start.
What you get
Your animation in the sizes and formats each platform wants, so you’re not stuck resizing or re-exporting. That usually means square and vertical versions for social, a web-ready version for your site, and a high-quality file for screens if you need one.
Everything comes ready to post, or to hand straight to whoever runs your channels.
How long a piece should be
Shorter than most people expect. A logo sting is a couple of seconds. A social piece gets about 3 seconds to create a hook before someone moves on. An explainer can run longer, but only if it earns the time.
Making more than one
One animation is a start. If you’re posting regularly, a small batch made together works out cheaper per piece than commissioning them one at a time, and they’ll look like a set.
How it works
- Brief: we work out where the animation is going and what it has to do
- Concept: we plan it out so you know what you’re getting before we build it
- Build: we animate it, using your brand assets
- Delivery: you get the final files in the sizes and formats you need
Frequently asked questions
How much does an animation cost? It depends on length and complexity. A short animated logo starts from around $1,200. A full explainer costs more. We quote per piece.
Can you animate my existing logo and brand? Yes. If you already have a brand, we can bring it to life without redesigning it.
Can you make versions for different platforms? Yes. We deliver the sizes each platform needs, usually square and vertical for social plus a web version.
Do I need a finished brand first? It helps, but it’s not essential. If your brand is settled we’ll build on it. If it isn’t, we can sort that first.
How long does an animation take? A short piece moves quickly. A longer explainer takes more time, because the planning is where the quality comes from. We give you a timeline once we know the scope.
Can you work from footage or photos I already have? Yes. If you’ve got product shots or footage, we can build the motion around them. If not, we’ll work with your brand assets or arrange what’s needed. If there’s no brand to work from yet, that starts with brand design.
Can you supply it with and without captions? Yes. Most social platforms play muted by default, so a captioned version usually performs better. We’ll supply both.
Do you do the sound as well? We can arrange music and sound design where a piece needs it, or deliver it clean for you to add your own.
