Over 30 Years of Motion Design
VUCX is one of the earliest motion design specialists in the German-speaking market. What began in the 1990s with broadcast projects for RTL, MTV and VIVA has grown into a full-service offering for digital brand communication.
Brands including Lacoste, Hugo Boss, Escada, Bruno Banani and Max Factor have commissioned VUCX to develop their animated brand worlds. So have B2B companies: Generali Investments, Merten, Murrplastik, Playitas and Maxxis.
From Brief to Final Asset
Motion design at VUCX starts with thinking, not rendering. Every project begins with one question: which message needs to move, and for which channel.
From that, we develop an animated format that fits the brand, delivers cleanly and performs on its intended surface, whether on LinkedIn, in broadcast or on a trade show wall.
Production is entirely in-house, from concept and storyboard through After Effects to final export in all standard formats.
Motion Design Within Larger Productions
Animated sequences rarely stand alone. They are often part of an explainer film, a campaign or a broadcast format. VUCX integrates motion design from the outset into the overall production, not as an afterthought.
This applies especially to projects requiring realistic environments or technical visualization: here, the motion design team works closely with the VFX / CGI / 3D Animation unit to combine photorealistic animation with graphic motion elements seamlessly.

FAQs about Motion Design
What is motion design?
Motion design is the combination of graphic design and animation. Static visual elements such as typography, icons, illustrations or logos are set in motion to convey messages faster and more memorably. Motion design appears in explainer videos, title sequences, digital advertising and across social media channels.
What is the difference between motion design and animation?
Animation tells stories through moving characters and scenes, often with a narrative arc. Motion design uses graphic elements, typography and visual systems to communicate information and bring brands to life. The boundaries overlap, but the purpose differs: animation entertains, motion design communicates.
How much does motion design cost?
Costs depend on complexity, length and animation style. A simple logo animation starts in the four-figure range; a full motion graphics campaign with multiple assets sits considerably higher. VUCX provides a concrete quote after a brief project conversation.
How long does it take to produce a motion design video?
Straightforward animations are deliverable within two to three weeks. More complex productions involving storyboards, voiceover and multiple revision rounds are typically scoped at four to eight weeks. We define the exact timeline together during briefing.
Which channels does VUCX produce motion design assets for?
VUCX delivers animations across all relevant output formats: social media (16:9, 9:16, 1:1), broadcast, digital out-of-home, trade show displays and websites. Every asset is exported channel-specifically and technically verified.
Which industries is motion design suited for?
Motion design works across industries, wherever complex content needs to be communicated quickly. It is particularly common in retail, fashion, financial services, industrial manufacturing and pharma. VUCX has delivered motion design projects for consumer brands as well as B2B companies and broadcast networks.
Does VUCX work with existing brand materials?
Yes. Many projects begin with an existing corporate design, logo files or brand guidelines. VUCX integrates existing brand assets into the animation and ensures the result fits the established visual world.
Which software and tools does VUCX use for motion design?
The core of production runs in Adobe After Effects, supported by Blender for three-dimensional elements and the Adobe Creative Suite for graphics and compositing. Additional specialized tools are brought in depending on project requirements. What matters is the result, not the toolset.
What sets motion design apart from conventional video production?
Video production works with real footage; motion design works with animated graphics, typography and visual elements. Both can be combined. Motion design is particularly suited to content where a shoot is not possible or practical, such as abstract processes, product features or data communication.
Can VUCX produce motion design for international campaigns?
Yes. VUCX has produced for international brands and delivers assets in multiple language versions. Localisation, subtitling and voiceover in additional languages are all part of the scope.
