Email animation and GIFs
Bring campaign artwork, product stills or a finished film into an email header or a short GIF. We design the loop around your message and template, keeping the first frame useful when animation does not play.

For language and format batches from one campaign, see versioning and localisation.
After Effects and Photoshop for motion, image preparation and GIF exports.
Send the email layout or header dimensions, brand assets, campaign message and any file-size limits. Tell us which mail clients or preview service your team uses.
We agree the sequence and a first frame that communicates the message on its own. Artwork and movement are simplified where that improves readability or reduces file size.
We export the agreed GIF and fallback still, check dimensions and file size, and review the supplied email preview with your team. Template integration and testing scope are agreed before work starts.
These portfolio films demonstrate animation and product-motion craft. They are not examples of delivered email GIFs or proof of compatibility with an email platform; email output is scoped and checked against your template.

Motiohead have been an absolute pleasure to work with - consistently high quality work, very speedy, trustworthy and well priced. I'd definitely recommend to others and I'd also definitely work with them again. They are also excellent communicators and are very accommodating with updates to briefs, which has been a real help. We'll be working with Motiohead again for sure.

I've used Motiohead on a few occasions and couldn't recommend them highly enough. Always prepared to go above and beyond to ensure we meet our tight deadlines (without any issues). Always a pleasure to work with and plan to use them again in the future.

We have used the company several times for video and editing jobs. They have always been very professional, had great equipment, understand the brief, and edited the video to our exact specifications. We have used them more than 10 times and will continue to do so going forward. Great work.

Motiohead were fantastic for our latest documentary project. We handed them a ton of research, and they transformed it into brilliant, clear, cinematic motion graphics that drove the story. They were incredibly fast and delivered without any fuss. If your film needs high-end visuals then motiohead are a great choice!

Motiohead have been incredible during our post production edit process. Turning around edit after edit with very tight deadlines. They understood quickly what we required and actioned accordingly. A huge thank you to project manager Arseniy who has provided a 1st class service and delivered this project and also our super star editor Mark. Thank you to the Motio team and I look forward to working with you in 2023! Highly recommended:)

We also found them to be flexible and patient, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, a great value partner.

Enjoyed working with the team, our fist time experience was flawless. Motiohead understood and followed the brief and did not hesitate to ask where things were not clear. Shared professional opinion and triple checked that we were satisfied before issuing invoice. Excellent customer service overall and would highly recommend. Will certainly use services again. Thanks.
