87seconds is an international video production agency founded in 2013 in Paris. Specializing in animated videos (motion design), the agency supports its clients in creating short video content designed to simplify communication, explain complex concepts, and strengthen marketing impact. It now has multiple offices across Europe, America, and Africa, enabling it to meet global needs.

A Focus on Animated Video and Motion Design

87seconds’ core business is producing various animated videos: explainer videos, advertisements, corporate videos, tutorials, and social media content. These short, visual formats use motion design to transform sometimes technical or abstract messages into simple, engaging, and easy-to-understand content.

The agency also offers longer formats for institutional campaigns or corporate presentations, suitable for diverse platforms such as websites, events, and online training.

A Structured and Collaborative Methodology

87seconds relies on a clear process from concept to delivery. After an in-depth briefing to understand objectives, the agency writes the script and develops a detailed storyboard. This preparatory work ensures narrative clarity and visual coherence.

Next comes the graphic creation and animation phase, involving a team of designers and motion designers. Each step undergoes client validation, ensuring the final product meets expectations, within deadlines and budgets.

Clients and Sectors

The agency works with a wide range of clients, from innovative startups to large international groups. Its projects span sectors such as finance, industry, healthcare, education, and digital technologies.

For instance, 87seconds has produced videos for European institutions, CAC40 companies, and NGOs. This diversity showcases their ability to adapt to very different messages and audiences.

Integration in Marketing and Digital Strategies

Videos produced by 87seconds are designed to fit effectively within current marketing strategies. Their short and impactful format promotes sharing on social media, online ad campaigns, and digital learning platforms.

The agency also helps clients optimize video distribution and SEO to maximize visibility and ROI.

Complementarity with Professional Photography

While motion design is their core expertise, projects often benefit from a strong photographic base, especially for hybrid content or to enrich visual materials.

👉 Rétines supports creative agencies like 87seconds by providing professional photography, ensuring visual continuity across communication channels.

Conclusion

87seconds combines creativity, technical expertise, and a strategic approach to produce animated videos tailored to modern business and institutional needs.
Rétines complements these productions with professional photographic images, bringing essential visual coherence to multimedia projects.
