GAMING PRODUCT MOTION
Give feedback character.
Keep the action readable.
Menu feedback, character loops, rewards and lightweight companion-app motion. Start with a web animation set from $500. Choose the user action and intended response first; the technical format follows the requirements of the product.
Reward a completed action
A short reward sequence can mark a completed task or achievement. The game state decides whether the reward is earned; animation communicates that state to the player.
Make menu changes understandable
Animate a focused transition or selection response without blocking the next input. Specify what happens if the player presses again before the previous motion has finished.
Introduce a character or feature
A character loop can support a landing page, tutorial or companion app. Use the player and export format that match the destination rather than assuming every game engine accepts Lottie.
Plan for the real environment.
Lottie is one delivery option, not a universal game-engine asset format. Discuss renderer support, frame budget, repeated triggers, interruption and memory use with the integration team. In-game VFX, video and sprite workflows may be more appropriate for some scenes.
From brief to handoff.
Agree the screen, audience, action and intended response.
Review the visual direction and motion in context with approved assets.
Prepare agreed files, trigger notes, fallback behavior and implementation checks.
The proposal defines timing and review points after the assets and target platform are understood. A starting price does not mean every integration, source-file requirement or complex scene fits the same scope.
What to include in your brief.
Share the engine or web environment, intended device range, trigger logic, loop/reset behavior and available character artwork. For a reward or menu sequence, define the start and end states and whether player input can interrupt it.
Bring one or two references and describe what you want to borrow from them: pacing, a way to explain a state, a visual tone or a type of interaction. References are discussion material; client artwork is not licensed for reuse simply because it appears in this portfolio.
Gaming animation FAQ
Are these examples from a gaming client?
They are original portfolio animations selected for relevant subject matter and behavior. They are not attributed to a particular sector client unless a separately linked case study establishes that connection.
Is Lottie always the right format?
No. The engine, runtime support and performance budget determine the format. We can discuss video or other animation delivery when a Lottie player is not appropriate.
What is the starting price?
A web animation set starts at $500. Final scope, number of scenes, supplied assets, delivery formats and review rounds are confirmed in a written proposal.
Can the animation match our product?
Yes. Share the approved brand and interface assets. Studio color previews are a reference for discussion; a commissioned animation is scoped around your own product.
Compare Lottie, GIF, MP4 and Rive, review performance practices, or use the estimator to plan a starting range.
