What’s the difference between motion design and animation?
Verified by Jordan Armitage
Put simply, motion design is when you take graphics and make them move. You might also hear it called ‘motion graphics’ and it sits very closely to graphic design. Think animated logos, letters that move or stylish transitions.
Animation relates to all things that move, but most people think of character and illustrated projects when you mention animation – the sort of thing you’d see in a Pixar film.
We like to keep the two terms separate because they can have very different inputs and outputs. A super slick product film with 3D animation wouldn’t feel right under the ‘animation’ banner because it’s design-led, brand-led and focused on motion, not storytelling.
That said, we often work on projects where we combine elements of both into one film, which is why we are an Animation AND Motion Design Studio
What industries do you work with?
We’ve worked with a range of businesses, but mostly with B2B brands -especially those that need to explain something clearly, or make a strong first impression.
We also work with creative agencies, picking up projects where they need a trusted animation partner to bring ideas to life.
Lately, we’ve done quite a bit with tech scale-ups, turning complex or abstract ideas into something simple and visual.
