Why Third Place Needs Motion Design

In the Third Place sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Motion Design delivers measurable results that transform how third place professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Third Place

Third places — tiers-lieux — blend coworking, cultural programming, community workshops, and sometimes food service into hybrid spaces that defy simple categorization. Video is essential for explaining what a tiers-lieu actually is, since the concept is unfamiliar to many. Documentary-style mini-films following a typical day — morning yoga, midday freelancer focus, afternoon children's art workshop, evening community dinner — communicate the multifunctionality. Interviews with diverse users (a potter, a web developer, a retired teacher leading workshops) show the social fabric these spaces create. These videos support municipal funding applications, social media community building, and press coverage in local and national media covering social innovation.

Video Challenges in Third Place

Selling Community, Not Just Desks

Coworking spaces compete on atmosphere, community, and flexibility — qualities that photos alone cannot convey. 73% of prospective members visit virtually before their first physical visit. The challenge is showing the energy, the people, and the culture that make each space unique.

Coworking brands must differentiate themselves in an increasingly crowded market. Virtual tours, member testimonials, and event content all contribute to building the narrative of a thriving professional community rather than just a shared office.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Coworking Brand — Occupancy Optimization

A coworking brand produced a community member spotlight video series featuring entrepreneurs working from their spaces. Occupancy increased from 72% to 94%, and the content generated a 55% increase in event space bookings as companies discovered the venues through member stories.

Key Benefits for Third Place

Occupancy, Retention & Brand Premium

Coworking video drives key metrics: virtual tour videos increase conversion by 65%, community content improves member retention by 40%, and event recap videos attract 55% more bookings. Coworking spaces with professional video content command 20% higher pricing per desk than competitors without.

Our Motion Design Process

Motion Design Process

1. Script & Storyboard: We translate your message into a visual script with detailed storyboard frames showing keyframes, transitions, and timing.

2. Asset Design: Custom illustrations, icons, typography, and graphic elements are created in your brand style guide. Character design and rigging if needed.

3. Animation: Frame-by-frame animation in After Effects/Cinema 4D with professional easing, secondary motion, and attention to micro-interactions.

4. Sound & Final: Custom sound design, music selection/licensing, voiceover integration, and final render in all required formats.

What Makes Motion Design Unique

Motion design combines graphic design principles with animation to explain, promote, or brand through moving visuals. We create custom vector-based animations in After Effects, working from your brand guidelines to produce shapes, icons, and layouts that move with purpose. A typical motion design project runs 30-90 seconds and takes 10-15 business days from storyboard to final render. Deliverables include lossless MOV for integration into larger edits and compressed MP4 for standalone use. This is our most versatile animation service — suitable for explainers, ads, social content, and event screens.

What You Receive

You receive: animated video in all formats, source project files (After Effects/C4D), individual asset library (AI/SVG), Lottie files for web integration, GIF versions for social, and style guide documentation for future animations.
