Since blackspike began twenty years ago, animations and videos have increasingly become a staple client request.

In ye olde www of yore, the only video you could cram down the internet pipes were lightweight Flash vector animations, which we used to do a lot.

Thanks to the arrival of broadband, Steve Jobs’ famous missive, YouTube and social media, video is far more common on the web than even ten years ago.

Here are some of the ways we can help you push frames to your customers.

Ideal for explainer or illustrative content, and less expensive than professionally filmed video.

We work with you to develop a storyboard, and we have a network of freelance copywriters, musicians and voice over artists to enhance the narrative.

Need to add some pizazz to your LinkedIn posts? Want to liven up your slide deck?

We can animate your logo and create branded content for you.

If you’re producing demo videos for YouTube or streaming on Twitch, we can style it for you.

We can design and produce you a slick intro and outro, plus animated overlay graphics so you’re always on brand.

We’ve made video templates for our Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikToks so we can quickly turn around branded social media videos, ready for production.

If that sounds like something you need, just ask.

If you need something simple and light-weight, we are dab-hands at animation-via-code, using Javascript libraries like GreenSock and Anime.js or even simpler CSS and SVG animation.

We also specialise in interactive web 3D animation.

An infrequent but fun addition to our production arsenal is a small, cheap drone.

It provides incredible quality video for exterior (and interior!) shots with many applications – a birds-eye view of a launch event, b-roll footage of your corporate HQ or infrastructure, colour graded, edited and scored.
