Animation and Motion Graphics Los Angeles
Some things are hard to explain with a still image. We animate logos, explain products and build short loops for social, working from your existing brand colors and type and exporting the file types your team asks for.
Quick answer
Clouds Agency is a creative agency in Los Angeles. Animation and motion graphics in Los Angeles: logo animation, explainer videos, social motion content, title sequences and animated brand assets.
What We Deliver
Things we animate
Brand animation
Logo reveals and animated versions of your colors, type and layouts, so motion across your channels looks related.
Explainer videos
Scripted, storyboarded and animated, with a voiceover. For products or services that take a minute to explain.
Social motion graphics
Short animated posts and ads sized for the platform they run on: Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn or YouTube.
Title sequences and end cards
Opening titles and closing cards for films, series, branded videos and podcasts.
Logo files for every use
One animated logo, exported with a transparent background, in light and dark versions, for web and for broadcast.
Animated data and infographics
Statistics and processes turned into moving graphics that match your brand and read faster than a slide.
How We Work
From brief to final export
- 01
Brief and style frames
We collect your brand files, look at motion references together, and settle on color, type and timing before animating anything.
- 02
Storyboard and animatic
You see the whole piece as rough boards with timing. Changes at this stage are quick.
- 03
Animation
We build the finished motion from the approved boards. Feedback rounds are tracked in one list.
- 04
Sound
Music, sound effects and voiceover are sourced or produced and mixed into the piece.
- 05
Export
We deliver the files you asked for, such as MP4, MOV, GIF, transparent-background clips or Lottie, named and sorted.
What you get at handoff
How we keep animation projects calm
Built from your brand files
We start with your logo files, color values and fonts. If a brand guide exists, the animation follows it.
Approval before animation
Boards and timing get signed off before the slow work begins, which keeps late changes small.
A file list agreed at kickoff
We ask where each piece will run, then deliver those sizes and formats. Developers get what they need and the social team gets theirs.
Questions people ask
What do you need from us to start?
Your logo files, brand colors and fonts if you have them, plus a sentence or two on what the animation should do. For an explainer, send any existing script or product notes. We build a storyboard from that for your approval.
How many revision rounds are included?
The number of rounds is set in the scope before work begins. Most changes are caught at the storyboard stage, where they are cheaper, so we ask for careful feedback there.
Which file formats do you deliver?
We export to the formats you list at kickoff, such as MP4, MOV, GIF, transparent-background files and Lottie for developers. Social versions are sized for each platform.
Can you animate our existing logo?
Yes. We need a vector version of the logo, ideally from your brand files. If you only have a low-resolution image, tell us and we will talk through options.
Do you write and record the voiceover?
We can write the script and arrange the voiceover for an explainer, or work from a script you supply. Music and sound effects are part of the production, and we will confirm licensing for how you plan to use the piece.
