“Drift stands out not only for creative talent, but for the ability to turn ideas into motion that feels alive. We felt heard, understood, and creatively supported throughout the entire process.”
Olivia Bennett
Co-founder
What exactly does a motion design studio do?
We make things move with intent. That covers brand animation, product and UI motion, explainer films, title sequences, and the kind of looping pieces that live on social. If a brand needs to feel alive rather than sit still, that's the work.
How do you price a project?
By scope, not by hour. We scope the deliverables up front and quote a flat project fee, so you know the number before we start and it doesn't move unless the brief does. Bigger systems get phased pricing across direction, production, and delivery.
How long does a typical project take?
A single hero animation runs two to three weeks. A full motion system — brand guidelines, transitions, a library of reusable assets — runs six to ten. We'll give you a real timeline after the brief, not a hopeful one.
What do you actually deliver at the end?
Final renders in the formats and ratios you need, plus source files if your team will keep iterating. For ongoing brands we hand over a motion kit — presets, timing rules, and dos and don'ts — so your work stays consistent after we're gone.
Can you match our existing brand?
That's most of what we do. We build motion that extends your identity rather than competing with it — same energy, same restraint, now in time. If you don't have motion guidelines yet, we'll create the rules as we go.
What if we don't know what we want yet?
That's fine, and common. Start with a loose brief and a couple of references that feel right. The first stage is direction — boards and a short style frame — so we agree on the look before a single frame is animated.
