Animation & Motion Graphics

ANIMATION & MOTION GRAPHICS

Animation isn’t just for cartoons … but we make those too! Animation is a fun, flexible and effective medium, and can make commercial videos as entertaining and memorable as a great cartoon. Our corporate and creative clients – including Apple, AOL, and Microsoft – love the way hand-crafted animation brings their story to life.

Mad Bird Design has contributed award-winning animation, visual effects and motion graphics to feature and short films, marketing and corporate videos. Our work spans a variety of 2D and 3D animation techniques: hand-drawn illustration in whiteboard and full color styles, hand-crafted set design, painted backgrounds, and stop motion characters. We deliver short animated components, post-production compositing, or end-to-end production.

Mad Bird Design works for business, public sector and nonprofit clients. Our aim is to create beautiful visual materials to engage, entertain, and communicate effectively with a range of audiences. We are gratified that so many of our clients enjoy collaborating with us and keep coming back!
