Invoice clients for motion graphics, animated explainer videos, and broadcast graphics. Get paid on time with Tidybill.
A motion designer invoice covers fees for creating animated graphics, kinetic typography, explainer videos, broadcast packages, and digital advertising animations. Motion design sits between graphic design and video production, and projects can range from a short animated logo sting to a full explainer video or broadcast graphics package. Because rendering and revision cycles are time-intensive, motion design invoices often include revision limits, with additional rounds billed separately. Projects typically progress through storyboard approval, style frame sign-off, and final delivery, and invoicing at these milestones protects the designer from spending significant render time on work that may not be approved.
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Explainer Video (60 seconds) | £1,500 - £5,000 | per video |
| Animated Logo Sting (5-10 seconds) | £400 - £1,200 | per animation |
| Social Media Animation (15-30 seconds) | £300 - £800 | per animation |
| Motion Graphics (per second) | £50 - £150 | per second |
| Storyboard & Style Frames | £400 - £1,000 | per project |
| Revision Round (beyond included) | £150 - £400 | per round |
Invoice in phases: a deposit before production begins, a second payment after style frame sign-off (or storyboard approval), and the final balance before delivering the finished video file. Withholding the final file until payment ensures you are not left chasing invoices after the client has what they need. Define revision rounds clearly — unlimited revisions are not viable in motion design due to render times. Net 14 on delivery is standard; corporate clients may require Net 30.
