Motion Graphics Motion graphics studio in London, United Kingdom
A UK firm selling to the Gulf often needs the same explainer twice: once in English for London, once in Arabic that reads properly to a buyer in Riyadh or Manama.
For UK SMEs, scale-ups and consultancies, and UK brands preparing Arabic-language material for Gulf buyers.
The explainer is in English, and the Gulf buyer is left to guess.
UK firms often have a strong explainer video for UK clients and then add Arabic subtitles for the Gulf. Subtitles help, but a buyer who watches in Arabic notices when the text is a flipped afterthought, when the voice-over is missing, or when the pacing assumes an English sentence structure.
We plan the Arabic version at storyboard stage, so the layout allows for longer lines and right-to-left reading, and the Arabic lettering is animated as whole words or lines so the joined letters stay joined. A native reader checks the script. You keep one clean English cut for the UK, and an Arabic cut for the Gulf, and a set of short clips for LinkedIn and email.
Where a UK business uses its explainer
- Website home page
- Sales emails and LinkedIn
- Gulf trade show screens
- Investor and partner pitches
- Onboarding and training
What you get
You get a script and storyboard to approve, the finished animation, an Arabic version and subtitles where your scope includes them, and short cuts for LinkedIn and social.

Design Frames
Styled key frames in your brand colours and type, showing exactly how the finished film will look.
Animation
The approved frames animated: movement, transitions and timing that make the explanation easy to follow.
Voice-over & Sound
A recorded voice-over in the language you need, with music and sound effects mixed under it.
Arabic & English Versions
Arabic and English versions of the same film, with right-to-left text that animates correctly, plus subtitles.

A product or process that is hard to explain?
Tell us what it is, who needs to understand it and where the video will play. We reply with questions and a scoped quote.
How it works
Step 1: Brief
What the film must explain, who watches it, where it will play and how long it can be.
Step 2: Script and storyboard
The words and the frames, agreed on paper first. Most changes are made here, before animation.
Step 3: Animation
Approved frames are animated, voice and sound are added, and you review a version before it is final.
Step 4: Hand over
The final film, the cut-downs and the project files in your scope, named and organised.

Questions
How much does a motion graphics video cost in the UK?
It depends on the scope: the length, the style, the number of language versions, voice-over and music, and how tight the deadline is. Send a short brief and we quote a fixed scope so you can compare quotes on the same terms.
How long does an explainer take to make?
Script and storyboard first, then design, then animation. The proposal sets dates for each. Late sign-off on the script is the common cause of delay, so say at the start who approves.
We sell in the UK first. Can we add Arabic later?
Yes, if it is planned. We keep text areas flexible and the voice-over separate, so an Arabic version can be added without rebuilding the film. If you are even considering the Gulf, tell us in the brief.
Who checks the Arabic?
Our Arabic-speaking team, who read and write it as their working language. We also ask you to confirm any names and product terms before the Arabic is final.
Can you provide an Arabic voice-over?
Yes. We arrange a voice artist in the register you want, clear modern Arabic or a Gulf tone, and you approve a sample first. Without voice-over, Arabic subtitles are an option.
How many revisions are included?
The proposal states the rounds, by stage. Changes are cheapest at script and storyboard. After animation starts, changes may be new scope, which we flag early.
Who owns the film and the files?
You do. Ownership of the approved film is written into the proposal and the project files come with the hand-over when they are in scope. Stock music and fonts have their own licence terms, which the proposal notes.
Can you work remotely from London?
Yes. Briefing, storyboard reviews and feedback run on video and shared documents. A London studio session is possible when you want one.
Can you use our existing brand guidelines?
Yes. Send your guidelines, fonts and logo files. The film follows them, and we note anything that does not translate well to motion.
Do you make clips for LinkedIn and email?
Yes. Short square and vertical cut-downs with captions, built from the main film, so they play muted in a feed.
Tell us about the film you need.
A short brief is enough to start: the topic, the audience, the languages and the length. We reply with questions and a fixed-scope quote.
