The toy storytellers

Short & Sweet studios creates energetic product content that moves - using real products, brought to life through stop-motion animation.

We specialise in animated short-form content creation, designed to tell a story and raise a smile.

Our work is playful and stylish, inviting audiences to stay longer with the products they love.

All of this is acheived efficiently with minimal lift from the brands and agencies we partner with. We can provide full end-to-end production management or collaborate in existing production workflows.

Product Demos

For modern retailers and brands. 

Efficient, informative, and entertaining
Our demos are designed to enhance the online shopping journey, helping your customers make better purchasing decisions, quickly.

Keep it real
By animating physical products and showing how they move and function, we build trust: what you see is what you get.

Keep it light
We don’t demand much from the viewer (in terms of time) or the site (in terms of loading). Videos are under six seconds, and no more than 2mb.

Why it matters

Purchase confidence
Lack of trust is one of the main reasons for cart abandonment. Our product demos enable brands to more accurately convey product features and details, helping shoppers feel more confident in their purchases. 

A mobile world
66.7% of e-commerce sales in the UK in 2020 came from mobile devices. With declining attention spans and more time spent on mobile, brands have just 3 seconds to make an impression. Our demos are designed with this context in mind. 

Video works
90% of shoppers report that product videos help them make purchasing decisions and 73% report that they are more likely to purchase after viewing a demo video.
