Explainer videos and product launches
When you know a subject inside out, it can be difficult to see where someone else needs the explanation to begin.
We help you find that starting point, decide what matters and build a film around it. That might mean introducing a software product, showing how a service works or giving people a reason to pay attention to your next launch.
We develop the script, visual approach and animation together, so the words and pictures each play their part.
Animation for healthcare, research and charities
We work with researchers and communications teams to explain their work and help it reach people beyond their organisation.
Some projects involve making scientific information easier to follow. Others call for a thoughtful approach to personal experiences or difficult subjects. We take time to understand the material and work with your team to get the explanation, tone and visuals right.
Our work includes films for Diabetes UK, UNICEF, Child Bereavement UK and Oxford University’s Pandemic Sciences Institute.
Brand motion and website animation
Movement should feel like part of your brand, whether it appears in a launch film, on your website or in someone’s social feed.
We work with your existing identity to develop animation that suits its character and gives your team more ways to use it. This includes animated typography, illustrations, logos and Lottie assets for websites, as well as motion for wider campaigns.

Working with Jolt
Jolt is led by Wes West, a designer and animation director with around 20 years’ experience and 10 years running the studio.
You work directly with Wes throughout the project, from discussing the brief to refining the finished animation. Where the work calls for other specialists, we bring in collaborators to suit it.
You might already have a script and creative direction, or need help working out what to say. We can start at either point, agreeing the approach, scope and review stages before production begins.
We’re based in Oxfordshire, UK, and work with clients across the UK and internationally.
Motion support for agencies and design teams
We regularly work alongside brand designers, creative agencies and digital teams who need an experienced motion designer on a project.
We can help develop the initial approach, extend an identity into motion or take an agreed direction through production. You can bring us in for a film, a set of website animations or campaign assets, with our involvement shaped around your team and the brief.
