About Move Animation Studio

Move Animation Studio is an independent animation and creative production studio based in Brighton, England. Founded in 2013, it creates character-driven visual storytelling for commercial brands and children’s entertainment. Its work spans animated television, advertising, branded shorts, music videos, explainers and interactive experiences, combining 2D animation, 3D CGI and motion design.

The studio develops projects from early concepts through animation production. Its creative services include narrative development, world-building, character design, scriptwriting and storyboarding. Storyboards and pre-visualization establish pacing and scene staging, while its animation capabilities encompass hand-drawn and digital vector work alongside 3D character animation, modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting and animated environments.

Animation and interactive storytelling

Character performance and visual communication run through the studio’s portfolio. Its 2D work includes stylized commercials, branded content and music videos, while its CGI work features expressive characters and digital environments for commercial clients and broadcast properties. Motion design services extend to dynamic typography, logo animation, explainer videos and visual identities.

Move also produces native augmented reality apps and Web AR experiences that bring animated assets into real-world surroundings. Its interactive work includes a LEGO City experience built around constructing urban environments and a Nintendo and LEGO Super Mario Web AR project that lets users guide Mario through physical obstacles.

Work across audiences and formats

The studio’s children’s entertainment work includes Boy & the Dinosaur, a preschool series originating from a concept by founder Jason Harding and centered on visual comedy and everyday discovery. Other projects include festive animated music videos, fantasy shorts and character-led commercial films.

Commercial work ranges from educational financial storytelling for HSBC to animations explaining digital interactions and privacy for Meta. Its portfolio also includes audio-focused advertising, podcast explainers, event graphics and animation combined with live-action footage. Across these formats, the studio serves agencies, broadcasters, entertainment producers, technology platforms and consumer brands.
