Photo to Motion

Your professional photos in motion.

Short motion clips made from the photography you already have. For boats, holiday lets, hotels and property, when filming isn't on the cards.

One photo, two ways. The simplest thing we do is a slow camera move. Most clips also bring water, sky and light to life.

Why we built this

Good photos shouldn't sit still

Most of the businesses we work with are small: boat yards, holiday lets, independent hotels. They've paid for good photography. Then every platform starts asking for video, and there's no budget, no crew or no calm day to film it.

So we built a way to make the photos they already have work harder. It's the same eye we bring to brand and campaign work, pointed at one job: turning a still into a few seconds people actually watch.

For when filming isn't an option

Boats & charters

The boat's out on charter all season, and filming on water needs a crew, a calm day and luck. Your photos are already there.

Holiday lets

Twenty properties, one photographer's visit each. Filming every one of them doesn't add up.

Hotels & glamping

You can't film summer in February. Your summer photos can still sell next season.

Property

Listings move fast. We move the camera and nothing else, so the home looks exactly as it is.

Not a replacement for filming

If you can film, film. This is for when you can't: the budget's gone on the shoot, the logistics don't work, or you've got great photography that could be doing more.

Built on your photographer's work

We credit the photographer on every clip, and check your licence covers motion before we start.

What we will and won't do

Questions

What do you need from me?

Your website address. If your best photos aren't on it, a link to a folder works too.

Is it AI?

AI tools do the animating. A person picks the photos, directs each move and checks every clip before it reaches you.

Where can I use the clips?

Your website, social, listings and ads. We deliver vertical, square and landscape versions.

What does it cost?

Your first clip is free. After that it's a fixed price per clip, agreed before we start. No retainers.

How long does it take?

Usually a few days for your free clip.

Get a free clip

Tell us where your photos live. We'll send back a short clip made from them, and a price for the rest if you want it.

We'll only use your details to make your clip and follow up about it. See our Privacy Policy.
Thanks, got it. Your clip will be with you in a few days.
