How motion graphics make your video clearer

The short answer

Motion graphics are the moving text and graphics in a video: titles, name captions, logos, data and simple animation. They help viewers follow the story, especially with the sound off, and keep every video on brand. Our motion graphics package starts from $1,200 + GST.

Guide 10 of 13

What counts as motion graphics

Titles

That introduce the video or its sections.

Name captions

Lower thirds showing each speaker's name and role.

Logo animation

For the opening and end card.

Data and diagrams

That turn a statistic or process into something people remember.

Calls to action

At the end, such as a web address.

Built from your brand

We build graphics from your fonts, colours and logo files, so they match your website and other videos. Once designed, the same set can be reused across a series.

Motion graphics or animation?

On top of footage

Motion graphics sit on top of filmed footage. When the whole video needs to be animated, such as an explainer, see our animation video production service.

Animation video production

How it fits the edit

We add graphics once the edit is approved, then you check every name, title and number before final delivery.

Example: SMSF Audits

Graphics that carry a story

See the SMSF Audits animated explainer for graphics carrying a whole story.
