Let's get moving!
Hi. I'm
Paul Monaghan, award winning freelance animator specialising in fast turnaround motion graphics solutions.
I have over 10 years’ experience delivering a variety of animated films for content agencies, corporate clients, start-ups and TV production companies.
As a one-man creative agency, I pride myself on delivering quality fast. If you need your animated content on your desk yesterday, I’m your man.
I appreciate that budgets can be tight but that doesn’t mean you have to scale back on compelling storytelling or stunning visuals. I have the skills and experience to deliver high quality results for you and your clients. I can keep costs down without compromising on quality.
Based in Dulwich, South London, I enjoy working with clients from across the UK. My services can be tailored to meet your specific requirements, and through a collaborative creative process, we can arrive at a solution that tells your story with elegance and clarity.

I actually like it when my clients ask 'What can you deliver by the end of the week?'
My work
Bookings.com
This is animated explainer video explains the bookings.com Partner Scheme to an audience of internal staff. Working as a motion graphics freelancer for a content agency, I constructed the storyboard, illustrative elements and full animation from a supplied script, while taking care to keep all visual elements on-brand.

Quadient Franking Machines
I made this film as part of a creative campaign for Quadient Franking Machines. This client had never produced any video content before, so I was given a completely blank canvas. I provided concepts for visual style, then produced a story board from the selected route. From there I made the final animated film. Please click here to see further examples of creative campaigns.
Astra Zeneca
I have been working with Astra Zeneca for about 6 years as a freelance motion graphics designer with various partner agencies. I have made many animated films for both internal and external comms, as well as product launches and events. I am able to go on-site to provide animation support where remote working would be impossible. Here are further examples of Events and Corporate Presentations.
Fexco
In partnership with a content agency, I made this film to promote Fexco Currency Conversion Solutions. It forms part of a creative campaign which involves mixing motion graphics and animation with library footage. Please click here to see more examples of creative campaigns.

Assurance Company
I have made a number of animated infographic films for an assurance company.

BBC Bitesize
I was asked to design, illustrate and animate ten 30 second revision aid animations to help GCSE students with French grammar. We used 60's European espionage to give the graphics a theme.
EY
In partnership with a writer / director, I made a short motion graphics film for global assurance firm EY, to explain the history of money. The structure of the film involved following a timeline, showing milestones in the development of today's financial operations, from bartering livestock to contactless payments.

Matt Gardner, Director, Vebu
We would firstly like to thank, and secondly recommend, Paul Monaghan for his graphic design services. We had never previously used a graphic designer but Paul made doing so very easy. He helped us with various advertising materials as well as the graphics for the brand. On every occasion Paul met the deadlines agreed with him and came in on budget despite the fact that some of the work was certainly of the brainstorming variety requiring numerous iterations. We would thoroughly recommend Paul and would be happy to discuss his work in more detail if needed.
