I am managing the creation of some teaching resources and I've had quite a difficult time with some designers I had previously been working with. Working with Will was a breath fo fresh air in comparison, a real consummate professional who got the job done in a timely manner and without any problems at all. Whenever we had a question he was on hand to help. If I ever need an animator again, Will will be the first person I speak to. I highly recommend him; if you're still considering who to work with stop looking because you've found the right person in Will! More...

John Coffee
I’m over the moon with what Will has created for us! I didn’t even really know what I wanted when I started but Will interpreted my rather vague brief perfectly and came up with something a hundred times better than I could have imagined by myself.
Will was a joy to work with, great communication and thoroughly professional all round. I would heartily recommend Will and Maneki Motion to anyone looking for animated videos!

What do you love most about your job?
Working in an industry where my own creative goals are the same as the client’s is incredibly rewarding. Creating work which blows away the client’s expectations while pushing my skills to the next level never gets old!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Early on in my career I identified that I could produce a higher standard of work for a much lower cost than most of the agencies out there. That was over ten years ago! I love running my own business: taking personal responsibility for every project allows me to maintain the highest standard of work and make sure that we’re always pushing the quality up and up.
Why should our clients choose you?
Repeat business accounts for a large part of my trade – my clients come back to me again and again not only because they love the work, but because I make their lives easier; they know that it’ll be smooth sailing from start to finish!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Everything I do can be provided remotely, I have clients all over the world!
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I’ve been providing services remotely for over ten years, so I’m an expert in online communication!
