1. Starks Law

Creating urgency is one of the fundamentals of a good advertisement. Motion graphics allows marketers to use creative ways of driving a narrative and providing a solution.

Starks Law utilizes animation to personify shadows that take the shape of debt collectors. The shadows retreat once the protagonist finds refuge at a Stark’s Law office.

Accomplishing this type of ad in live-action is nearly impossible without CGI and a hundred-thousand-dollar budget. By using animation for advertising, the marketer is given the opportunity to communicate the value of the service to heights unattainable with other mediums.
