We’re a creative studio based in Leeds.

We love making expressive animation, slick motion graphics and films with flair; but there’s much more to us than that. Little Motel was created by animators with a belief in the art of keeping things simple. An ambitiously simple set-up; simple straightforward communication; and a simple process that works. By immersing ourselves with all things animation and motion, we push ourselves to find the perfect approach, unlimited by style, technique or resource. At heart, we like stuff to look good, sound great and do its job.

How it works

We pair-up with awesome brands, charities and agencies across the country to create crafted films that bring pizzazz and punch to their communication. We‘re trusted as partners by the people we work with to match purpose with pretty pictures.

Our small team of creators will walk you through our well-oiled, adaptable process, mapping out the whole journey from start to finish. Our doors are always open. (Literally, we have no doors.) And at each stage, you get to tell us what you think. That means there’s no nasty surprises along the way and what you end up with is more than you imagined.
