Motion Graphics & Animation in Calgary
Logo animation, titles, explainers, and the moving pieces that make a brand feel finished on screen.
We make motion graphics in Calgary for businesses and artists: logo animations that resolve with some weight behind them, title systems that enter like they were always part of the frame, and explainers that make a complicated product make sense in forty seconds.
Motion design is a founding discipline of this crew. The same designer who directs our graphic work animates it, so the motion is built on hierarchy, restraint, and typography that holds up at every size the internet will squeeze it through.
What we animate
For brands, the workhorses are logo animations and stingers that finish a video properly, lower thirds and title systems, and animated explainers that walk a customer through what a company does. For products, graphics that show the thing working. Screens, cutaways, and process diagrams that move the way the product behaves.
For artists, the overlap gets fun: lyric videos, visualizers, animated single art, tour date promos, Spotify Canvas loops. A release needs more moving pieces than a music video budget covers, and motion graphics fills that gap at a lower cost per asset.
Because we’re also a production crew, graphics get designed for the footage they’ll sit on and animated by the same team that filmed it.
How the work runs
Every project starts with style frames: still designs of the key moments, agreed before anything animates. It’s the cheapest place to change your mind, and it means animation time goes into moving a design you have already approved. Then we animate, you review, and revisions happen against a shared reference.
Delivery covers every ratio, resolution, and codec your channels need, plus source files kept on hand so next year’s update doesn’t start from zero. Alpha-channel versions for your editor, looping versions for a trade show screen, verticals for the feed.
Design-first, Calgary-based
Every piece starts as a design drawn for the job, which is why we ask for brand files before we ask for a deadline. We’re a Calgary crew, so you can sit in a room with the person doing the work.
Motion pairs naturally with our brand films, where footage and graphics get designed together in one production. It also pairs with social media content, where a library of motion assets keeps a feed going between shoots.
Common Questions
- What does motion graphics work cost?
- Small pieces like a logo animation or a set of titles start in the hundreds. Full explainers and lyric videos are quoted by length and complexity, typically $1,500 to $5,000. Work designed from scratch costs more than work built on a preset.
- Can you animate our existing brand assets?
- Yes. Send your logo files and brand guide, and we build motion that behaves the way the brand already behaves. If the logo only exists as a low-res JPG, we'll rebuild it as vector first so it can move cleanly.
- Do you make lyric videos?
- Yes. Lyric videos and visualizers sit right where our design side meets our music side. They cost a fraction of a music video and give a single a visual presence on YouTube and Spotify Canvas from day one.
- What do we need to provide to start?
- Whatever exists: brand guide, logo files, fonts, a script or the audio track, and references you like. From there we bring style frames before anything moves, so the direction is agreed on stills.
