Why confine yourself to what is possible in the real world, when you can do the impossible with animation? Some stories require something out of the ordinary, and can only be told through motion graphics, 2d or 3d animation. Organisations can use them to create characters, locations and whole worlds and craft the perfect experience for your audience. It’s a way of creating the kind of emotional connection that a film does, without any of the logistical challenges.
At Neck of the Woods Films we set out to produce animations for organisations that will stand out and help drive change. We love the work that we do. We’re passionate about helping organisations achieve their goals and connect with people. We’ve helped global organisations, local innovators and even individuals achieve amazing things and we want to do that with you too.
Campaign animations are powerful ways for organisations to reach new audiences, put important topics in the spotlight and to bring about change. A successful campaign results in people taking action; animation can make this happen.
Organisations often concentrate so hard on what they do that sometimes they forget to talk about themselves. A promotional animation is a way for organisations to tell these important stories. They’re a way of getting to the heart of what an organisation does and stands for. These films can connect you with your audience and show them that you’re someone they need to work with.
Sometimes organisations need to explain a complex idea or process to their audience. These can be hard to visualise and even harder to understand. This is where an explainer animation comes in. Using illustration, motion and sound is a way to bring these topics to life for audiences and help them understand.
Human stories move people, it’s that simple. They engage people, build trust and show the human side of an organisation. However, not everyone wants to share their story on camera. In these instances animation is a way for organisations to tell these stories and protect their storytellers.
We’ve worked with organisations of all shapes and sizes, from large national charities like GamCare, Drinkaware and National Oceanography Centre to educational institutes like the University of Southampton and Bath Spa University. We’ve made animations to share crucial information, films for national campaigns and personal case studies. Check our showreel for a sample of our work.

Safer London work with young Londoners to make sure that they can live lives safe from exploitation, violence and criminality. The charity has countless stories of the young people they’ve supported and the traumatic circumstances that have seen them referred to Safer London. Sharing these stories is important.
The difficulty is, how can these stories be safely shared? Safer London tasked us with creating case study animations that did just that.
The National Oceanography Centre we’re approaching the 20th anniversary of its AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) research.
To mark this milestone, they wanted to create an animated film that would serve as an educational tool for new audiences. The goal was to draw attention to the research, showcase the key impacts of the project, and highlight why continuing this research is essential.
North Somerset Council (NSC) has developed the Physical Activity Strategy 2023-2028, a framework designed to improve health and wellbeing, reduce health inequalities, and increase physical activity levels across the region.
To help communicate this vision, NSC sought an animation that would outline their outcomes and action plan and explain why physical activity matters.
BearFace Theatre CIC use Applied Theatre methods to inspire positive change and conflict resolution.
They developed a new educational programme called Choices aimed at raising awareness of the difficult challenges faced by individuals impacted by the criminal justice system while providing insight into making safer choices.
We created a short animation that would highlight these topics in a way that felt authentic and accessible.
GamCare is the leading provider of information, advice and support for anyone affected by gambling harms.
They developed a new online programme to help individuals better manage and mitigate the harms associated with gambling.
We created a series of animations to explain each of the four key learning modules.
We work with change makers to create animation videos about positive change, human achievement and social impact. It may be the story of a youth programme, or the hero film that spearheads a vital fundraising campaign. If you’re looking to change the world in some way, you need these stories to be told well. Non-profits make our world better every day, but they aren’t always the best at telling these stories. We’re a full service video agency that helps charities, non profits and educators do just that.
