Animation and motion graphics are powerful storytelling tools, offering endless creative possibilities. At Preston Street Films, we have extensive experience using them to enhance and transform video content. Whether it’s subtle animated elements within a live-action film or a fully animated production, animation allows you to break free from real-world limitations. From explaining complex ideas with clarity to creating visually striking brand narratives, the possibilities are limitless. Let us help you bring your vision to life in a way that captivates and engages your audience.

 BBC Bitesize commissioned us to create a series of 29 short documentary films designed to support pupils studying history in Scotland. The project aimed to produce engaging, educational content tailored to the National 4/5 and Higher syllabus, making complex historical concepts accessible and memorable for students.

Each film blends original archive material, stock footage, live-action elements, animation and motion graphics to create a dynamic, visually cohesive series. The use of onscreen text and animated graphics highlights key terms and concepts, ensuring that the content is both engaging and highly effective as a revision resource.

Got something important to explain? Whether it’s a product, service, or a big idea, an animated explainer video is the perfect way to break it down into clear, engaging, and memorable content.

Explainer videos simplify complex concepts, using a mix of animation, motion graphics, and storytelling to grab attention and keep your audience engaged. They’re great for marketing, training, or just making sure your message lands.
