Our Animated Illustration Process
Concept & Storyboarding
We define the illustration concept, animation narrative, and interaction model. Storyboards show the key frames and transitions before any animation work begins.
Illustration Design
We design or adapt your illustrations for animation in Rive, breaking complex scenes into animatable layers with proper hierarchy and anchor points for smooth motion.
Animation & State Machines
We animate each layer with careful timing and easing, build state machines for interactive elements, and optimize the file for smooth playback at minimal file size.
Integration & Optimization
We deliver optimized Rive files with integration code and work with your team to ensure animations display correctly, load efficiently, and respond to user interaction as designed.
Key Benefits
Engaging hero sections
Animated hero illustrations capture attention immediately and keep visitors on the page longer. Subtle looping motion, parallax layers, and interactive elements make your landing pages stand out from every competitor using static images.
Clear visual storytelling
Complex concepts become simple when they animate step by step. Product features, process flows, and value propositions are communicated more effectively through animated illustrations than through text or static graphics alone.
Interactive brand moments
Rive illustrations can respond to cursor movement, scroll position, and user input. This interactivity creates memorable brand moments that make visitors feel like your product is alive and responsive from their very first interaction.
