Frequently asked questions
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.
