Motion graphics & VFX

Logo animation, explainers, and course graphics, plus the compositing and retouching that finishes a film.

Most of the motion we make doesn't announce itself. It's the logo that resolves cleanly at the end of a reel. The lower-third that explains what the camera can't. The composite nobody notices, they just believe what's on the screen. It lives inside the work.

What we animate

The motion that finishes the picture.

Logos, explainers, course graphics, and the compositing that ties a shot together. Usually built into films we also shot and cut, sometimes as the whole job.

Logo & Brand Motion

Your mark, in motion.

A logo that moves is the last thing an audience sees, and the thing they carry away. We build the sting, the endplate, and the brand motion around it, cut to whatever length the piece needs.

Explainers & Course Motion

Making the abstract visible.

Finance modelling, email rendering, engine wear. Some subjects have nothing to point a camera at, so we draw them instead. Diagrams, callouts, and typography built to the script, paced so a viewer keeps up without rewinding.

Compositing & VFX

The work you are not supposed to see.

For Marc Anthony we cut and retouched two campaigns running back to back: Grow Long on a hard magenta field, Strictly Curls on warm gold. Same team, same pipeline, two finishes that share nothing but the standard.

How we work

From reference to final frame.

Phase 01
Brief & references

Send us the script, the cut, or three things that look like what you want. Motion is cheap to change in a conversation and expensive to change in an animation, so the arguing happens here, before anyone builds a frame.

Phase 02
Style frames & storyboard

You see the look before you see the movement. Still frames set the type, the palette, and the treatment; a board sets the order and the timing. Approve those two and the animation stops being a surprise.

Phase 03
Animate

The approved frames get built and moved. Where the motion sits inside a film we also shot, it is cut against the picture rather than dropped on top of it, so the graphics and the edit finish together instead of one chasing the other.

Phase 04
Revisions & delivery

We work through your notes on the animation, then the exports you asked for at the brief, sized for wherever the piece is going to run. Tell us at the start if you need a version at another length or another ratio.

From the retouch · Strictly Curls Oil

We recently hired Zachary for a video project in Ottawa, and he far exceeded our expectations. Not only is the production quality top-tier, but his eye for detail and storytelling is truly impressive. He is professional, reliable, and a complete pleasure to work with.

Darian Kovacs Jelly Marketing

Working with Zach from Capital Arts Productions has been a pleasure. He joined our team events to create a video that beautifully captured our key messages and special moments throughout the day. Clear with communication, provided a draft promptly, and thoughtfully incorporated our revisions. Highly recommend.

Sarah Roggie Tungasuvvingat Inuit

Working with Zach and his team at Capital Arts to capture our 2026 Corporate Kickoff was a great decision. Zach was responsive, professional, and detail-oriented. The finished videos and photos were high quality, and the ease with which the AV production was managed made our internal team's job much easier.

Helen Huang DistillerSR

Our company has hired Zach to shoot our events (video and photo) for almost 10 years and he consistently delivers exceptional work. He is super talented and continues to amaze us year after year with what he produces. Always punctual and quick to deliver. 10/10 recommend.

Erin Milling Pellera Technologies

I've had the pleasure of working with Capital Arts Productions on many projects, and every time has been fantastic. The team is friendly, knowledgeable, well-organized, and very well equipped. Their attention to detail and professionalism make every event run smoothly and look great.

Simon Saumure Tec4 Productions

Our team has hired Capital Arts Productions on several occasions and booked them again for an upcoming event. The service and professionalism was exceptional. Very communicative leading up to events, always willing to take calls or emails for questions. The quality of work is top notch and exceeded our expectations.

Yes! Send us your existing logo files, and we'll create the animation from them.

Your logo in vector format, brand fonts and colours, and any copy that needs to appear on screen. For motion graphics going into a film, send us the edit or script. Don't have everything ready? No problem. We can build it with you from scratch.

Consolidate your notes and send them in one pass and we will work through them together. We provide two rounds of revisions as standard for delivered videos.

Whatever the piece is actually going to run in. Widescreen for the site and for broadcast, vertical and square for social, and shorter cutdowns if the campaign needs them. Say where it is going at the brief and the exports get built for those places from the start.

We typically provide only the final deliverables but we can also arrange to provide the source files. Project files are typically retained for 90 days after final delivery. We'll notify you before any files are deleted, and your final deliverables are archived indefinitely whenever possible.

It depends on the piece. Simple logo animations can take just a few business days, while explainers requiring scripting and full production take longer. We'll provide a delivery estimate once we understand the scope.
