# Philadelphia Video Production Company Philadelphia video production company: live-action video finished with motion graphics and animation, filmed across PA, NJ, DE and New York. --- ## Trusted by Haverford College, the University of Pennsylvania, Lehigh University, AccessLex and more ## Live action, finished by an animation studio Motifmotion is a full-service video production company in Philadelphia that started in animation. A Motifmotion crew member captures the footage on location, and we finish it in post-production with titles, illustration and animated diagrams made for your story, not dropped in from a template. That approach earned a Mid-Atlantic Emmy for the [civic education series we produced for PBS-WHYY](/case-studies/case-study-3-pbs), and it works just as well for real people and real places. For projects that don't need a camera at all, see our [Philadelphia animation studio](/animation-studio-in-philadelphia). - Kinetic titles and lower thirds - Animated maps, data and diagrams - Illustration layered over footage *Case study* AccessLex Institute, JD Edge. A law school readiness course recorded on a clean white set: a presenter on camera, with animation beside every key idea, across 27 episodes. ## Campus and facility videos A building sells itself when people can walk through it first. Motifmotion captures campuses, schools, offices and facilities, inside and from the air, for admissions, recruiting, leasing and fundraising. Video production for schools and universities is a large part of this work, like the campus overview we produced for Queens High School of Teaching in New York City. Each visit is planned room by room in pre-production, so the day on site covers every space you want to show. ## Corporate video production in Philadelphia Interviews, testimonials, leadership messages and recruiting videos, each built around one message. We record the people who carry it, then add titles and visuals where an idea is easier to show than to say, as in this program story for Penn GSE. The same approach works for brand and marketing content: commercial spots, campaign cuts for social media, and product stories for your website. For fully animated formats, see [corporate video production](/services/corporate-animated-video). ## Event video production Orientations, conferences, lectures and galas, captured for highlight reels and full recordings. For Haverford College's Customs orientation, that meant the crowd, the traditions and the students who lead it, cut into one short documentary-style story. ## No shoot needed: stock and archival footage Not every video needs a crew. When budget or schedule rules out a shoot, Motifmotion builds the piece from licensed stock or your own archival footage, then gives it the same edit, visuals and sound as a custom production. It's a practical route for brand content, social media campaigns and pieces needed on a tighter schedule. ## Our video production process in Philadelphia Every project moves through the same five phases. Timing depends on production days, locations and review rounds. ## Pre-production We agree on the message, the audience and the creative approach, then plan locations, on-camera talent and a shot list. ## Production A Motifmotion crew member captures interviews, b-roll and aerials on location or on a set. ## Design and animation Titles, illustration and animated diagrams are built to fit the footage, not added from a template. ## Post-production An editor assembles the cut, then color, sound and music are finished for client review. ## Delivery The final product arrives sized for your website, social media, LMS or event screens. ## Where we film We work anywhere within about a three-hour drive of Philadelphia: the city and its suburbs, South Jersey, Princeton and Central Jersey, Wilmington and the rest of Delaware, the Lehigh Valley, Lancaster and Harrisburg, Baltimore and New York City. If you need a New Jersey video production company or video production in Delaware, the same crew and creative process cover you.
