Commercial Video Production

Animated and mixed-media commercials. Half the cost. Twice the flexibility.

What Is Commercial Video Production in 2025?

Today’s most effective commercial video production doesn’t happen on cable—it happens online!

The best digital commercials are short, sharp, visually powerful, and built for action. They live on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and landing pages.

At Motifmotion, we typically avoid renting cameras or scouting locations. Instead, we design digital-first commercials — blending high end animation, live-action footage, sound design, and storytelling. In the process, we slash prices way down, yet still deliver high quality, refreshable content.

An Alternative to Traditional Commercial Video Production Companies

We’re not a traditional commercial video production company, and that’s intentional. Our process is based on a tried-and-true remote-first production model that trades bulky logistics for creative precision.

Here’s what we do:
Animated commercials — Mixed-media video ads (live-action + motion) — Product promo animations— SaaS launch videos — YouTube pre-roll ads — Motion design brand videos — Commercial-style explainers

Here’s what we don’t:
TV broadcast shoots — Large film crews — On-site equipment rentals

Why Animation in Commercial Style Ads?

Animation and mixed motion media have claimed massive roles digital advertising for good reason. They are:

  • Cost-effective compared to live shoots
  • Fast to iterate and update as campaigns evolve
  • Visually engaging in-feed and on landing pages
  • Flexible for any product, message, or brand voice

We specialize in creating commercial video production that combines emotion, clarity, and polish — with none of the production bloat. See some of our portfolio here.

    2D Animated Commercials

    Our 2D animated spots blend brand storytelling with stylized illustration, character motion, and punchy scripting. These commercials are built for digital platforms.

    We use expressive characters, branded illustration, and smart motion design to create commercial video production that feels handcrafted yet scalable. Animated commercials often outperform traditional video in terms of completion rate and engagement – especially on mobile.

    Mixed media commercials are great for tech brands, professional services, or any business that wants to convey trust, clarity, and modernity — without the cost of a traditional commercial video production company. From brand commercials, to healthcare communication content, to technology and more.

    From resourceful marketers to design-savvy founders, we help teams produce bold, digital-first commercial video production that looks polished, performs across platforms, and respects your budget.

    Whether you’re launching a new product, building brand awareness, or simply need content that cuts through the noise — we deliver modern commercial content without traditional production baggage. Simply put, video marketing is extremely powerful.

    3D Animated Commercial Video Production

    Our 3D commercial work brings digital products, physical objects, and imagined worlds to life in stunning detail. From rotating objects and branded environments to metaphorical sequences and stylized textures, we build immersive ads that command attention.

    3D animation is a smart alternative to product videography — especially when scale, complexity, or polish are key in your commercial video production strategy.
