Professional Animated Kinetic Typography Services

Animated kinetic typography, also called kinetic typography animation, is the craft of bringing text to life through motion to communicate meaning, rhythm, and emotional tone. At Sundstedt Animation we focus on delivering a single, purpose designed kinetic typography video that communicates your message with precision and professionalism.

How Kinetic Typography Fits Into Animation

Kinetic typography animation turns static copy into directed visual language. It can stand alone or be integrated into brand films, explainers, lyric videos, social clips, and live presentation visuals. Well executed, it increases attention and retention by combining sight and sound into a single message.

When Kinetic Typography Makes Sense

This service is ideal for a range of applications and industries, including:

Short brand films where the message is verbal or textual
Social media clips that rely on punchy, readable text
Lyric and music videos with emphasis on words
Educational explainer videos for schools or online courses
Pharmaceutical marketing campaigns
Corporate internal communications and training
Conference visuals and keynote text animations

Client Brief Checklist (what we need from you)

A finalised script or definitive text to animate
Preferred aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, 1:1)
Reference visuals or a short note describing desired style and pacing
Brand fonts, colour palette, and any logo or assets to include
If required, a voiceover track or timing guide (we can supply voiceover as an add on)

Our Approach

We design kinetic typography using deliberate motion logic and typographic integrity. Core principles:

Semantic motion. Movement reinforces the meaning of the words, never obscures it
Hierarchical clarity. The viewer always knows what to read first
Timing and pacing optimised for human perception
Platform aware export. Delivered in the agreed file format and codec

Best Practice Checklist (what we apply)

Readable type sizes and generous line length control for legibility
Contrast and spacing that respect accessibility and on screen readability
Phrase based timing so viewers can read comfortably before text changes
Where used, tight sync between text and audio or music to reinforce meaning
Clean motion easing and semantic transitions to avoid visual noise

Workflow and Timings

Brief received and clarifying questions resolved
Storyboard and text timing pass (text on/off timings and key frames) for client approval
Frame accurate animation production
Delivery of final file in agreed format. One revision round on the delivered cut included

Typical turnaround for a short social clip (15-45s) is 5-10 working days from approved storyboard and timing. Complex or longer projects will be scheduled and quoted separately.

Pricing

Typical short form projects start at £950. Final price depends on length, typographic complexity, use of audio or voiceover, and number of required aspect ratio versions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is kinetic typography animation?

Kinetic typography animation is the practice of animating text using motion, timing, rhythm, and spatial composition to communicate meaning, emotion, and structure.

It focuses on moving text as the principal storytelling tool.

Which aspect ratio will my animation be delivered in?

We deliver your kinetic typography animation in a single, agreed aspect ratio. The standard format is 16:9, but we can also produce 9:16 or 1:1 versions on request. Each additional version requires layout and timing adjustments and is treated as a separate deliverable.

This keeps scope clear and prevents unintended scope creep.

Do you provide voiceover or music?

We can source professional voiceover and licensed music as project add ons. If you supply an audio track, we’ll use it to time the animation precisely.

If audio is required, please supply final audio before the animation pass.

How many revisions are included?

One round of revisions on the delivered cut is included. Revisions that materially change scope (new scenes, additional aspect ratios, or full restyles) will be quoted separately.

How long does a typical project take?

Short clips (15-45s) are typically completed in 5-10 working days from approved timing and storyboard. Larger projects have bespoke schedules.
