Story first, motion second
The animation serves the message — never the other way around. We start with what needs to be said.
Our story
Started with one looping logo
Kinetic began in 2017 in a borrowed Los Angeles loft, when two animators turned a friend’s static logo into a five-second reveal that the whole internet seemed to share. Suddenly everyone wanted their brand to move.
We’ve grown into a studio of twelve — animators, 3D artists, sound designers, and a producer who keeps us honest — but the rule from that first project still stands: motion only matters when it makes the idea clearer, sharper, or more alive.
Today we make explainers for fast-scaling startups, title sequences for streaming shows, and brand-motion systems for teams who want their identity to feel like it has a pulse. Every frame still goes through the same hands that built that first loop.
What we believe
The principles behind every frame
A short list we’d rather live by than print on a wall. They shape how we animate and how we work with you.
Timing is the craft
The difference between good and great motion lives in a few frames. We obsess over every one.
Make the brief better
We push back, suggest, and add ideas. You hire us for taste, not just rendering time.
Bias for the bold
Safe motion gets scrolled past. We’d rather make something people stop and rewatch.
Sweat the details
Sound design, color, the easing on a single icon — the small things are what feel expensive.
Built for every screen
We deliver in every ratio and format from day one, so your film works everywhere it lands.

The team
The hands behind the frames
Small enough that you know everyone by name, senior enough that nothing gets handed to a junior to figure out.

Our approach
How we work alongside you
Every project is different, but our rhythm stays the same: get the story right on paper, lock the look in style frames, then animate without surprises.
Nail the script & board
We don’t animate a frame until the story and storyboard have your sign-off.
Lock the look early
Style frames mean you see exactly how it’ll feel before the timeline fills up.
Animate, polish, deliver
Sound, color, and every cutdown — finished, exported, and ready to ship.
Let’s make something that moves
Tell us about the idea you can already picture animating. We’ll bring the craft, the timing, and the hands to build it.
