Motion Design Agency in Manchester

Looking for a motion design agency in Manchester? Here’s an honest answer: I’m freelance, but for bigger briefs I work in exactly the way an agency would.

Working on all aspects of an animation project is something I love doing, everything from writing the script to producing the animation, even providing the voiceover too. That covers most projects on my own.

For bigger projects, other freelancers, illustrators, designers, studios, and agencies can all be brought together to produce the best possible result — the same agency-level output, without the overhead an in-house team adds to the day rate. This is exactly how I approached a full UI animation production for the game Tempest Rising, and how I turned around a polished Series A announcement video for Trigger.dev against a tight deadline.

What you get that a traditional agency doesn't always offer

  • Direct access to the person actually doing the animation, not an account manager relaying messages
  • No agency overhead built into the day rate
  • The same range of services, script to storyboard to final animation
  • A network scaled up only when a project genuinely needs it, so you're not paying for capacity you don't use

Based in Manchester

Manchester is home, yet home isn’t always where the projects are so it’s no problem at all if you’re based elsewhere. Previous clients have hailed from far and wide, from the USA to Europe. Geography is no limit to the work taken on.

Previous animation work

Previous projects are available in the animation portfolio, including work for Matik and The Guardian.

Rewilding the planet with freelance animation and motion design

We've only got one planet, and right now it needs all the help it can get. Climate change and biodiversity loss are massive challenges that we need to tackle head on.

That's why, for every freelance animation project over £1000 a donation of 1% of the total budget will be made to the World Land Trust, on your behalf.

The money will go towards WLT's "buy an acre" programme; buying up and protecting vital habitats around the world, and helping fight against climate change.

Any motion design projects under £1000 will have a tree planted on your behalf.

Acres saved so far:

Thanks to my wonderful clients and the animations we've produced, enough money has been donated to save around:

17.5 Acres of vital habitats around the world.

Just think, your animated explainer video or logo animation could also be helping fight the climate crisis!
