Motion Design Services

Motion design services from The Alder Files bring a brand’s visual identity to life through animation — logos that resolve on screen, text that moves with intention, shapes and characters built to carry a brand’s tone, and footage combined into something with the spark people expect from a social post or product launch — including full animated explainer videos that bring all of these elements together into one piece. This is animation work, not videography or cinematography — the difference matters, and it’s covered below.

What’s Included

Motion design work covers the animated layer of a brand’s presence:

Animated Logos

A brand’s mark built to move, not just sit static

Text & Title Animation

Kinetic type for social posts, intros, and promos

Shape & Character Animation

Custom animated elements built to match a brand’s visual system

Explainer Videos

The short, medium, or long high-impact clips built for a product drop or campaign moment

Footage Compositing

Combining existing footage with animated elements into a finished piece

Animation, Not Videography

Motion design here means animation — logos, text, shapes, characters, and existing footage combined into something new. It doesn’t include filming, directing, or producing original video footage; if a project needs a camera on set, that’s outside this service. Motion design work typically starts with footage or assets already in hand and builds the animated layer on top.

Built for the Moment It’s Made For

A product launch, a social post, a campaign push — motion work here is built for a specific moment, sized and paced for where it’s actually going to be watched, not built as a generic video that gets repurposed everywhere. Most motion design projects run 2–8 weeks depending on length and complexity.


Every motion design project starts with a conversation about what the brand actually needs. Get started on a project or see how engagements are structured on the Pricing page.
