Rise Up

Ordinary Kids with Extraordinary Stories

We worked with Michael O’Mara Books to produce a series of four micro-animations to help launch a new children’s book. The animations were released on social media in the month before publication, driving pre-sales and linking to International Youth Day and World Humanitarian Day.

Figuration’s contribution included:

  • Editing concise micro-story from full text

  • Re-formatting & animating illustrations by Amy Blackwell

  • Formatting for Instagram, Facebook and Twitter feeds

  • Additional vertical format for Instagram & Facebook stories

  • Fast, cost-effective process: each animation took less than a day to produce, review and revise


Animated paintings

We love working with galleries, museums & libraries to reveal works of art in their collections. We animate high-resolution images of original paintings to present these works to new audiences. Here are some short animated loops designed for to arrest the transient gaze of an Instagram user:


Animated Trailers

Here is an animated trailer we made for Green Originals, a BBC Radio 4 programme from Whistledown Studios. The trailer was released on social media just as the full series became available to stream on BBC Sounds, drawing over 25,000 views across platforms.
