A Philadelphia Animation Studio
Gregor and Phil, the founders of Motifmotion, grew up in the Philly suburbs. That’s why we started our Philadelphia animation studio in the heart of the city. In 2016, after freelancing for six years, we opened our doors in Old City, near the Ben Franklin Bridge. As a dedicated Philadelphia animation studio, we serve clients in Delaware County, across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and around the world. But, our heart is always in Philadelphia. We always integrate the city’s spirit into our work, and we love collaborating with local organizations on Philadelphia video production company and animation projects
At Motifmotion, we make the animation and video production process in Philadelphia fun, team-focused, and detailed. Whether you need us to handle everything or just a part of your project, we’re here for you.

PECO Case Study – “Self-Service Series”
The Problem – PECO, Philadelphia’s leading electric and gas company, knew that customers found it difficult to navigate their services especially over the phone and on black and white documents.
The Solution – PECO teamed up with a Philadelphia’s premier animation studio to create a series teaching customers about using self-service platforms. Ultimately, this made PECO’s self-service platforms simpler to understand, and therefore much more accessible!

PBS Case Study – “Your Democracy”
The Problem – Many young Americans lack a deep understanding of how the government works. Given Philadelphia’s historical significance, WHYY wanted to address this with an impactful series by teaming up with a Philadelphia animation studio.
The Solution – Hand in hand with WHYY producers, we simplified the U.S. Constitution, government, and rights for middle and high school students. Today, our work can be seen on WHYY’s website, on Youtube, and many other destinations. Ultimately, this project helped WHYY win a Mid-Atlantic Emmy!
Benefits of Working with a Philadelphia Animation Studio
It’s true — being physically distant from your animation studio vendor isn’t a deal breaker. You could (for instance) reach out to a studio in New York City or L.A. But proximity has its perks. If you need Philadelphia video production support, great service, fair prices, and a team who gets your audience, choosing a Philadelphia animation studio is a smart choice!

FAQ – Philadelphia Animation Studio and Video Production
We specialize in a range of services including animation, video production, motion graphics, and post-production editing. We also deliver illustration and graphic design projects – usually, but not always related to our videos! Our team is equipped to handle projects of various sizes and complexities.
East coast based? Choosing a local(ish) studio is a no brainer for live action video production. It can also encourage better communication, a deeper understanding of the local market and audience, and more competitive pricing. True, proximity is less important for animation than it is for live video, but even here, being neighbors certainly doesn’t hurt!
We prioritize close collaboration with our clients to deeply understand your needs, objectives, and target audience. We work with you to grasp the essence of your message, the intricacies of your industry, and the competitive landscape you’re operating in. This partnership allows us to create content that not only resonates with your audience, but also stands out in your specific market.
Absolutely. While we are Philadelphia animation studio with a strong understanding of the local market, we are fully equipped and experienced in handling productions from clients nationwide and internationally. Indeed, we’ve worked with clients and artists from all over the world.
Ah, the age old question!
The blessing of animation is that it’s an extremely flexible medium. This is great for our clients in the long run, because it allows Motifmotion to deliver productions at range of different price points—adjusting production levels accordingly. That’s the good news!
On the other hand, animation’s flexibility can make providing early quotes a bit more difficult. Not to worry – we know exactly what questions to ask you. Reach out. We’ll ask a few key questions and get you a quote in no time.
First things first — no amount of technical skill can match the power of skilled storytelling. Our team members are professional storytellers, and we leverage our respective crafts (writing, illustration, animation, music and sound effects) to create multi-sensory learning experiences. Of course, we also stay updated with the latest trends and technologies in animation and video production. In the end, we combine age old motifs, with beautiful motion, creating…you guessed it, Motifmotion!
Timelines vary based on a project’s scope and complexity. Short explainer and marketing videos often take between 6 and 9 weeks to produce. However, estimates can vary based on many factors – including how established your visual style is (if at all), the production’s complexity, the length of the video, its ultimate purpose – and many more variables. We always work to meet our clients’ deadlines, and we provide detailed timelines after assessing your project’s details.
Client satisfaction is our top priority. Simply put, it drives every decision we make! We welcome feedback, and we always describe the revisions process upfront, in order to ensure the final product aligns with your vision.
Yes! Our portfolio is diverse. We’ve delivered videos across many industries and verticals. You can view some of our portfolio here, or we can provide specific examples relevant to your project upon request. We’re happy to help.
