Motion Graphics
Motion graphics are where a film says the thing it cannot show. Titles, numbers, a process, a map, a logo resolving — all of it design first and animation second, because a badly designed frame does not improve by moving.
Arabic is the part most work gets wrong. A word that joins cannot be animated letter by letter the way an English one can, and a right-to-left reveal that runs left-to-right reads backwards to everybody who can actually read it.

Can you animate our existing brand guidelines?
Yes, and that is the usual and better route — a motion system built out of the identity a brand already owns rather than beside it.
Do you do Arabic typography?
Yes, and it is treated as its own design problem. Arabic letterforms join, so the reveal, the timing and the line breaks all work differently from Latin.
Can we reuse the graphics later?
They can be delivered as templates the in-house team can retype and re-render, which is worth more than a locked file on the second campaign.
