Motion North is a group based in the heart of sunny Manchester. We’re a collection of Motion designers, animators, filmmakers and vfx artists residing in the upper regions of the UK who gather to share our love of making things move.
Joining us on July 9th are Qian-Hui Yu, a Chinese animation director and illustrator based in Stoke-on-Trent, currently represented by the London-based creative agency POCKO. She specialises in 2D frame-by-frame animation, crafting vibrant, imaginative worlds through expressive character design, rich colour palettes, and hand-painted textures. As an animation graduate of the Royal College of Art, Qian has spent the past five years working across a wide range of animation and illustration projects. Her work often draws inspiration from nature, dreams, and surreal moments of daily life, resulting in whimsical visual narratives.
Also with us are Glasgow’s Revenant, whose innovative work spans from cinematic depictions of World’s First Esports District created for Qiddiya’s gaming city, to Future Genesis, a multi-award-winning set of adverts for Oakley, created in collaboration with Kamp Grizzly.At its heart, everything Revenant creates is tied together by a dedication to storytelling and precision of detail. The studio and Kev have brought this creative vision to clients including Riot Games, National Geographic, the BBC, Netflix, Channel 4, Samsung, Sky, and AKQA.
