Motion design in New Jersey
We're a small studio in central New Jersey. We make motion graphics videos from your brand and your real product: social ads, explainers, launch promos and logo stings, in every format you post to, with captions and a voice-over. A fixed quote before we start, and the files are yours.
Our reel
A social ad, a product demo, an explainer and a logo sting. Switch between the wide, vertical and 16 second versions, or turn the sound on. Our 24 second brand film is on the motion design page.
Read the voice-over
- We make motion graphics for small businesses.
- Social ads, cut for every screen.
- Product demos that show the app working.
- Explainers that make one idea easy to follow.
- Logo stings for the open and the close.
- Senova Systems. Motion design, made in New Jersey.
We made this for ourselves. The product demo and the explainer show the kind of work, with no client and no real data, and the voice is a text-to-speech voice.
The problem
Most businesses who ask about video have one of these. Each one is a short video with one job.
“We post on Instagram and Facebook, but people scroll right past.”
Short animated ads that make sense in the first second and with the sound off, with the key words on screen.
“Explaining what we do takes a five minute phone call.”
A 60 to 90 second explainer using your real product and screens, so people arrive already knowing how it works.
“Our logo just sits there at the end of every video.”
Your logo animated in a long, short and still version, plus an end card so every video closes the same way.
“We opened a new location and nobody knows yet.”
A 30 to 60 second launch promo for the opening, with a 6 second cut for ads.
“We made one video, but it looks wrong cropped for Reels and for YouTube.”
An MP4 for every format you post to, each laid out for its own frame instead of cropped from another.
“We'd post more often if we didn't have to start from nothing each time.”
A set number of short videos each month, planned on a content calendar, built from the same look so they stay consistent.
What people ask for
Each card leads to the full service page.
Working with us
Senova was founded by Rob La Gravenis, who writes, animates and mixes the videos himself.
We can meet for the brief
If you're in central New Jersey and would rather talk it through in person, we can sit down for the brief. After that, reviews happen on preview links.
A fixed written quote
The videos, the formats, one price and the dates. It only changes if the scope does, and only with your OK.
Script before animation
A script timed to the second and a storyboard you approve in writing, so changes happen while they're cheap.
Works with the sound off
Key words on screen, a captions file and a version with the captions burned in, because most social video is watched muted.
Voice and sound that fit
A voice-over led mix with sound effects that follow the picture. Music only when it helps, properly licensed.
Yours to keep
The finished MP4s, stills and source files are handed over, so the video can be edited or re-rendered later.
Our work
No client videos are shown here yet. These are our own, each with a write-up of how it was made.
Process
The same four steps for every project. You see the idea on paper before anything is animated.
Step 1: Tell us what you need
Fill in the two-minute brief or book a short call. Plain words are fine; you don't need a spec.
Step 2: Get a fixed quote
A written scope, a fixed price and a dated plan. Free, with no obligation to go ahead.
Step 3: We build, you review weekly
A private preview link that grows every week. You click through it and tell us what to change.
Step 4: Launch and look after
We go live on accounts in your name, with optional ongoing help if you want it.
Your quote
Videos are quoted after the brief, once we know the length, the formats and whether it needs a voice actor or licensed music.
The scope
What we'll build, page by page or screen by screen, and what's out of scope, in plain words.
A fixed price
One price for the agreed scope. It only changes if the scope does, and only with your OK.
A dated timeline
When the first preview arrives, when each part lands and when you go live.
What you'll own
The code, the design and every account, in your name from day one.
Running costs, itemised
Hosting, email and any other services listed one by one, paid to each provider at cost.
FAQ
No. These are motion graphics: animated type, shapes, light and your real product screens. Nobody comes out with a camera. If a video needs filmed footage we'll say so early, and we can work with footage you already have.
