Motion Graphics Designer Services
Animation and visual design from New York's top post-prod scene, with Emmy-winning rooms and full VFX pipelines.
A motion graphics designer makes animated visuals that blend graphic design, typography, and movement for film, television, and digital media. New York is one of the world's top motion graphics markets. Here broadcast networks, ad agencies, and streaming sites all compete for the best animation talent. The city's design culture grew from its advertising roots and creative energy, and it produces motion designers who pair strong artistic vision with tight broadcast deadlines.
We connect you with motion graphics designers across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens who deliver broadcast-quality work for features, series, commercials, and digital platforms. Our network includes pros working with Picture Shop, PostWorks NY (2 Emmy sound awards), Harbor, The Post Crew, Nice Shoes, and String & Can.

Motion design from the Brooklyn DUMBO corridor and NYC broadcast scene
New York's motion-graphics scene centers on the Brooklyn DUMBO and Williamsburg motion-design corridor. Buck's flagship NY studio, Trollbäck+Firm, Imaginary Forces NY, Charlex, Eyeball, Loyalkaspar, Big Block, and Roof Studio sit within a few blocks of each other. They share a freelance bench that rotates across all of them.
The city's design DNA runs from Saul Bass and Pablo Ferro's title-sequence heritage through Stefan Sagmeister's Manhattan studio and Hello Monday's NY office. It also runs through the in-house design teams at HBO Hudson Yards, Netflix NY, Apple TV+, NBC Sports, ESPN's NY broadcast operations, and the Madison Avenue advertising belt. That lineage shapes broadcast packages, idents, title sequences, and brand films that keep winning at the Emmys, the AICP Awards, and the Type Directors Club.
Our network reaches into PostWorks NY (two Emmy sound awards), Picture Shop (Mrs. Maisel, Master of the Air), Harbor, The Post Crew, Nice Shoes, and String & Can. Designers are vetted on checked credits across features, prestige-TV main titles, HBO and Netflix idents, NBC Sports and ESPN broadcast graphics, and the luxury and CPG brand work coming through Manhattan agencies.
On the tech side, designers work fluently in After Effects, Cinema 4D, Houdini, Nuke, and DaVinci Fix. Many also work inside Unreal Engine for pre-viz and final-pixel virtual-production work tied to the New York LED-volume stages and the wider HBO Hudson Yards / Netflix NY pipelines. Broadcast-grade finishing runs through Picture Shop and PostWorks NY's Dolby Atmos rooms, HDR-grade theatres, and Avid/Premiere cloud workflows sized to network and streaming-platform deliverables.
Brooklyn studios deliver title packages and idents to global showrunners, brand creatives, and streaming commissioners on the city's tight timelines — the agency-and-broadcast rhythm New York is known for. Engagements scale from a single title-sequence designer up to complete motion-design departments with animatic editors, compositors, and Unreal pre-viz artists. Our producers know the $700M New York State film tax-credit forms, IATSE Local 600 documentary-and-camera coverage where key, and the music-rights planning needed for graphic packages that deliver across platforms.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a motion graphics designer do?
A motion graphics designer makes animated visuals for film, television, and digital media. This covers title sequences, lower thirds, infographics, animated logos, transitions, and any graphic element that moves. In New York, motion designers work across broadcast networks, streaming sites, ad agencies, and indie film, and they meet some of the industry's toughest creative standards.
What skills should a motion graphics designer have?
A motion graphics designer needs a strong base in graphic design, typography, and color theory, plus skill in animation and compositing. Most New York designers know After Effects, Cinema 4D, Nuke, and Houdini well. Many trained at SVA, Pratt, or NYU Tisch, and they handle fast-turnaround broadcast workflows with ease.
What types of productions need a motion graphics designer?
Commercials, corporate videos, documentaries, broadcast television, title sequences, and digital campaigns often need motion graphics. New York packs in broadcast networks, ad agencies, streaming site offices, and indie production firms, and that mix drives the country's highest demand for motion graphics.
How do you match a motion graphics designer to my production?
We review your style references, brand guidelines, and the exact graphics you need, then suggest designers from our New York network whose portfolios fit. Our talent comes from Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, with studio-based options at Steiner, Silvercup, and Kaufman Astoria.
