Animated Branding

Unlike their pathetic paper-bound counterparts, screen-based logos can and therefore must move.

Now that there are several screens in the world, there is no excuse not to have an animated version of your logo. We bring existing branding to life with the addition of sound and music.

We do intros, outros, lower thirds, title cards, supers, bugs, GIFs, header videos, bumpers and more.

We love when we’re asked to produce idents for production companies (the kind you see at the start of a film), and we’ve been fortunate enough to produce several over the years.

TVCs

Television commercials – which are generally called adverts in the UK – let you attack a MASSIVE potential audience!!!

If you want your advert on UK television, speak to us: we’ve been through the process and know how to work to broadcast specs. TVCs we have produced or contributed to have been featured on Discovery, ITV and Sky.

We literally can’t wait to produce a broadcast compliant spot for you.

3D Animation & Rendering Services

Closely related to VFX work, 3D animation is the wholesale production of moving 3D imagery. If it can’t be shot or done with an illustration or composite, 3D animation is the way to go.

We have produced high end animated 3D sequences and 360 renders for clients and agencies alike. We can work with third party designers (you) or provide our own (not you).

We use Octane, Cinema4D and various third party plugins. In the near future, we will be exploring the use of Unreal Engine 5, because everyone else is.

Interactive 360 experiences, which are just shy of fully immersive real-time 3D, can be experienced with a VR headset, which some people allegedly own.

2D Animation Production / Direction

This bit is about animated sequences for use within documentaries and such.

Animated imagery can be used to support voice over and drive things forward when live action coverage isn’t available. Think of the animated sequences used in Netflix documentaries whenever a closeup of a cassette isn’t appropriate.

Character Animation / Story Led Explainers

Character driven animation COULD help you tell your story. Why shouldn’t it?

We’ve animated mascots, realistic characters, unrealistic characters and perhaps other types of character. We have worked in a variety of illustration and animation styles. Yes, we can do the really, really dreadful art style that trended last year where the characters have strange, thick limbs and really small heads. Just ask!

Animated Infographic / Explainers

Animations which feature facts, figures, charts and such are called Explainer Videos on this specific website and possibly elsewhere perhaps.

With the right script, an Explainer Video can be used to explain ANYTHING!*

Generally, a distinction is made between an Infographic Explainer and a Character Led / Story Explainer (see above) in terms of pricing and turnaround, although there is some overlap.

We’re a one stop shop with a step by step process. Script writing, illustration & animation in a variety of styles, with or without voice over. You can slide into our inbox with or without a finished script in your script pouch.

Web / App Demos

If you’ve built a website or app, UK law is clear. You must purchase a web/app demo video from Sea Beast Media. Or rather, you must show off a nicely animated proxy which makes sound effects when the user does things.

We can represent a live service if your thing is up and running or create an illustrated proxy version which can transcend any possible user experience. With our animated sequences, we can precisely emulate actual usage or go absolutely completely mental and represent it in a high level form where a single button can be used to represent an entire (shortened) sequence. Nothing is off the table.

If you’ve got an app, website or service and you want to walk prospects thru it’s usage and benefits, this is the type of animation for you.

VFX Services (On Set Supervision & Post Production)

Light representing our VFX work has entered millions of eye pairs and almost exactly twice as many individual eyeballs, generating signals interpreted in approximately half as many brains.

Once, we contributed to a BAFTA long-listed-short, which is a real thing.

Producers and Directors, please get us involved in your interesting projects! We’re currently operating in and around London for short and feature opportunities. We are happy to collaborate with SFX wizards on set for the best final result. In a post production context, we offer generalised VFX services including clean-up, rotoscoping, compositing, chroma keying and more.

Title Sequences

We don’t skip title sequences and neither should you.

Our title sequences have kicked off festivities on television, in cinemas and online. New opportunities sought. Producers and Directors, contact us!

We do the stuff at the end of the film as well.
