AI
animation
Things that move, and move people. We turn stills, artwork, logos and ideas into animation, generated with AI and directed by people. No render farm required.
What we make
Ideas, set
in motion
Image to motion
Stills and artwork, brought to life. Product shots, illustrations and paintings gain a slow push in, drifting light or a breeze, keeping the feel of the original.
AI characters & worlds
Animated stories at a fraction of the cost. We design characters and the places they live, then direct them shot by shot into a short story, an ad or an ongoing series.
Logo animation
Your mark, in motion: an intro, a sting or a sign-off that feels like your brand. Our own logo animation, "Through the portal", is in the gallery.
Motion graphics
Ideas explained in movement. Explainers, title sequences and product features, where clear type and generated visuals work together to make one point land.
Why AI animation
Motion, minus
the render farm
Traditional animation is a craft we admire, but it's slow by design: every frame is drawn or modelled, lit and rendered. AI shortens the road. We can explore several styles before you choose, and build scenes that would otherwise need a full animation team.
We're honest about the limits. Keeping a character consistent across many shots takes careful direction and a lot of choosing between takes. Text and logos are animated precisely in the edit, never generated, so they stay sharp and correct.
- Styles from hand-drawn to photoreal, without a specialist team for each
- Style frames up front, so you see the look before anything moves
- Logos and type kept exactly as they should be, frame by frame
- Delivered as loops, stings or full pieces, shaped for each platform
How it works
From still to
story
Brief & references
Send us what you have: stills, artwork, logo files, a script or just a feeling. We'll ask where the animation will live and how long it needs to run.
Style & characters
We design the look and any characters, then share style frames and a rough animatic so you can approve the movement before we build it.
Animate & assemble
We animate shot by shot, watching consistency closely, then add your logo, titles and sound in the edit.
Polish & deliver
You review, we fine-tune the timing, and you get final files, loops and cut-downs in every size you need.
Good to know
AI animation, answered
What is AI animation?
AI animation uses generative AI to create movement, whether that's bringing a still image to life or building whole animated scenes. People still design the look, direct every shot and finish the piece in the edit.
Can you animate my existing photos or artwork?
Yes. Send us photos, illustrations or artwork you own or have the rights to use, and we'll add movement that suits each image.
Can AI keep a character consistent across a whole series?
Yes, with care. It takes reference designs, careful direction and patient selection of takes, so we plan for it from the first brief.
Can AI animate my logo?
Yes, but we don't ask AI to redraw it. Your logo and any text are animated precisely in the edit from your original files, and AI creates the light, texture and world around them.
How much does AI animation cost?
It depends on length, style and how many characters or scenes are involved, so every project is quoted to its brief. Without a render farm to pay for, ambitious styles are often within reach of smaller budgets.

Put your animation inside a full brand film, ad or music video.
Branding & Identity
A logo worth animating starts with an identity designed to move.
