Films and Animation That Help Your Council Connect With Residents
We create clear, engaging films and animations for councils and public sector teams who need to inform, reassure and inspire – without wasting time or budget.
Working with councils across London and beyond, Quirky Motion turns complex policies into human stories people actually want to watch. From behaviour‑change campaigns to service explainers, we guide you from first idea to final sign‑off — so you feel confident every step of the way.
We produce engaging animations, illustrations, and films blending vox pops, formal interviews, volunteer contributions, and professional actors. The video above is a vox pop used in the development of Oxford Street.
Why councils trust us
- We understand council pressures – tight timelines, multiple stakeholders and strict brand guidelines are normal for us, not a problem.
- We make complex topics simple – our background in factual and public education films means we can translate policy language into clear, accessible and relatable stories for residents.
- We protect your message – everything is crafted to reflect your brand values, connect with your story and stand up to public scrutiny.
Proven Work With Councils
We’ve produced a range of films and animations for London councils, including:
- Cybercrime awareness films created with Safeguarding teams, featuring volunteers as presenters and practical “top 10 tips” for vulnerable residents.
- “Building Relationships for Stronger Families” – a 2D animated film for Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea Councils, used nationally to open dialogue around family conflict and child wellbeing.
- The Angelou Partnership – a film raising awareness of domestic abuse services and the vital work of ten specialist support organisations. They offer confidential support and advice for those affected by domestic abuse.
- Safeguarding Adults case studies – a dramatised training series featuring TV actor Graham Cole (The Bill), used to prompt discussion in staff sessions.
- Community safety and fire awareness – A series of videos that give tips for the vulnerable on how to be safe at home. The film explores fire safety.
- Documentary content – including a behind‑the‑scenes look at the dustmen who clean up after the Notting Hill Carnival.
Common Worries We Remove
“We don’t have a big budget.”
We scale production to match your needs — from interview‑led films to fully illustrated animations — ensuring maximum impact for your spend.
“We don’t have time to hand‑hold a production company.”
We handle the heavy lifting: scripting, storyboarding, casting, filming and editing. You get clear options and easy approvals at every stage.
“We’re worried about criticism or miscommunication.”
We’re experienced with sensitive subjects, from domestic abuse to social care, and always build accessibility, audience insight and stakeholder review into the process.
“We’re not sure what kind of film we need.”
Start with a short call. We’ll help you decide whether live action, animation or a mix of both will work best for your goals and budget.
