Motion
Bringing our product to life
Every hero video starts as a static storyboard. Scenes are laid out, the narrative arc is established, and the script is refined until every word is earning its place. Once the story is locked, the product UI and motion graphics are built around it, woven together into a single cohesive execution. The product is never an afterthought dropped in at the end. It is part of the story from the first frame, used to educate and capture the feeling that something genuinely intelligent is working behind the scenes for your brand every single day.
Instant motion is built on clean vector graphics, animated in Adobe After Effects. The product UI is always brought in wherever possible, grounding every animation in the real experience of using Instant. We add audio using ElevenLabs and Epidemic Sound.
UI animation
UI animation serves one purpose: to make the product feel real. Small movements across the interface, cursors, profile images populating, AI filling in content, SMS messages arriving, all work together to show the product in action rather than just describing it. But the value of motion goes beyond the big moments.
Even the smallest animated detail, a subtle entrance, a number counting up, a card settling into place, adds to the overall feeling that the website is alive and considered. A page with thoughtful micro-animation communicates craft and attention to detail. It signals that the same care that went into the design went into the product itself.
Motion in ads
Ad motion operates by a different set of priorities than product or website animation. The goal is not to educate. It is to stop the scroll, create a moment of excitement, and leave the viewer with a feeling about the brand before they have had time to think about it.
Ad animations are primarily built in Jitter, which keeps the production process fast and flexible. Ads go through multiple rounds of revision and need to be resized across formats regularly. Jitter makes both straightforward, so the focus stays on getting the creative right rather than managing the production.
