@google approached us ahead of their annual Blockly Summit '25, looking for an event opener to captivate attendees as they arrived. Taking Blockly's signature 2D illustration style into an isometric 3D world, we created something that felt true to the brand while giving the event the polish it deserved — all within a very tight turnaround. We’re really proud of how this one came together, and it’s great to hear how well it landed with the Google team and attendees on the day. → Explore the full case study on our website via the link in our bio. #BuffMotion #MotionDesign #CaseStudy

We partnered with New York-based salad brand @choptsalad to create a collection of digital content spotlighting their menu items. To celebrate their flagship store opening, we delivered bold digital content across in-store, web, and social. With a clear creative vision from the CHOPT team, we shaped the work into a cohesive on-screen experience, balancing readability with strong brand alignment. → Explore the full case study on our website - link in the bio. #BuffMotion #MotionDesign #CaseStudy

We’ve had a refresh. Occasionally, we get to turn our craft inward. We've got a new set of fonts and a brighter colour palette that reflects the energy in the studio right now. Our positioning hasn’t changed. We’re still a motion-first creative studio, with a strong focus on people, process and craft.

Liked our Bounc project? We're making our project files available to download! All proceeds are going to a local charity we love… The project files were created by our team at Buff as part of our recent studio project, BOUNC, a playful exploration of animation, design, and movement. We’re making these files available for the price of a coffee, so you can peek behind the scenes, learn from our process, or remix them in your own way. Download them via Gumroad, link in bio → All proceeds will go to support @hummingbird.project , a Brighton-based charity supporting young refugees and asylum seekers through one-to-one help, youth groups, advocacy, and education. We’re so grateful for the amazing response to the project, thank you to everyone that's liked, shared and appreciated 🙏 #projectsforpurpose #buffmotion #motiondesign #projectfiles @maxonvfx @adobe #aftereffects #cinema4d #3d #redshift

A little later than we’d hoped, but we're proud to share our latest impact report (link in bio) → If you're interested in learning more about business impact, or you're just interested in what we've been getting up to aside from project work, then this might be a good read. What’s an impact report? All B Corps are required to publish an annual report about their activities and plans to make a positive impact on people and the planet. This is our fourth impact report now, and second as a B Corp. We always find it’s a nice way of reflecting on our progress and making plans for the coming year, some of which we’re already working on. We’re looking forward to sharing more about some of these initiatives soon. We’d also like to hear what you think we could be doing more of to support the motion community. Drop us a message with your thoughts 👋 #impactreport #impact #bcorp #blab #bcorporation #betterbusiness #motion

We are so happy to present our latest studio project! Please make sure your sound is most definitely turned on... In between client projects, the Buff team wanted to channel their energy into a creative experiment. The aim was to play with perception, specifically how materials, weight and physics can be subverted on screen, while also exploring the contrast between 2D and 3D textures. The project began with the idea of creating a tongue in cheek brand around a simple inanimate object, like a rock. We called it Bounc, a name that gave personality to something so basic and crude. From that starting point, the work evolved into a series of short scenes where flat 2D textures collide with fully rendered 3D objects. By exaggerating weight, flipping expectations and manipulating the rules of physics, we were able to inject humour and surprise into each interaction. The project was conceived and developed by our in-house team, while sound design was crafted by @pelican.sound . We set them the challenge of creating a soundscape that would bring the visuals to life and amplify the playful contradictions of the piece: "The idea was to pair the animation with a playful, fluid sound palette that lets the ears anticipate what’s next while the visuals deliver, together shaping the full vision of Bounc." Stefan Kostaras, @pelican.sound The sound became a crucial layer of the project. The mix of instrumentation with moments of restraint heightens the sense of uncertainty and adds another twist to how expectations are challenged. The audio not only reinforces the mood but also enriches the overall experience, making Bounc feel complete and immersive. We'll be sharing more background to the project very soon... #motion #sound #motiondesign #sounddesign #cinema4d #aftereffects #adobe #maxon #rock #ball

Earlier this year, we teamed up with BitGo, the world’s number one digital asset custodian, securing over $100B in crypto for institutions worldwide. Trusted by the biggest names in finance, BitGo pairs unmatched security, regulatory compliance, and broad asset support to power the future of digital finance. Initially, their design team approached us to help elevate and evolve their new design system with motion. We considered multiple channels and every opportunity to push the boundaries of their ambitious brand execution. After a thorough discovery phase, we delivered a suite of animated branded illustrations, a revitalised presentation system for the sales teams, and a hero launch video to introduce the new positioning. There will be plenty more to share for this project, so look out for more updates soon...

[Sound on 🔈] After wrapping a few of our biggest projects to date, the Buff team took time to step back and reflect. Over a couple of days filled with good food, laughter, and shared insights, we had a well-deserved pause to appreciate the wins, the lessons, and everything in between. We feel very lucky to have such a wonderful collection of people in our squad. Now feeling refreshed, we’re back at it and looking forward to sharing more new projects with you very soon… Thanks to @thelookoutretreat , @theplottingparlour and @chefryancross 🙏 #team #brighton #studio #social #photography #studiolife #culture #motion #motiondesign #motiongraphics #loop #animation #mograph #animationstudio
