A blend of shapes, colours and characters
This is a quick highlight of our best work over the last 10+ years in the motion design industry. With each project the goal is to transform ideas into visual statements that leave a lasting impression.

hello,
this is one block west
where design and animation bring ideas and brands to life.
We believe that stories are the most powerful way to bring people together, they're the shared currency of humanity. Telling stories makes a difference, because hearing them helps us understand the world in new ways. Maybe the thing we need to understand is about investing in Starbucks because they've just engineered a drink that brings back memories of Christmas morning, or maybe its that there's a group of people in Africa empowering girls through AI schools. And as they say with knowledge comes power, the power to try that coffee with your bestie and tell them about what you heard is happening in Africa.​
​
So at One Block West we bring the stories that need to be told to life. But we don't just tell stories, we show them, through design, animation and edit. We use visual language to explain complex concepts and processes, creating brand content that communicates an important message and engages with viewers. Getting viewers not just understand what you're saying but to fully believe it.​​
