The studio

Atelier 8 is an independent motion design studio between Paris and Hong Kong, founded by Pascal EK Loui. It makes brand films of 15 to 90 seconds for start-ups, SaaS companies and premium brands: script, storyboard, voice, music and edit, under one direction, from brief to delivery.

The human role

The agents execute.I frame, check and decide.

01

Frame before producing

A poorly framed agent gets it wrong fast, and confidently. The brief, the angle and what the film must achieve are set by me. That part is never delegated.

02

Orchestrate, not prompt

Five agents, one per role, and a checkpoint between every step. Knowing when to launch them matters less than knowing when to stop them.

03

Check, then deliver

I review every shot, every word, every sound cut. The detail that’s off is spotted by a human eye. That eye is what makes the final quality.

Five agents refined over months of experiments. For you: a tailored film delivered in 5 to 20 working days. See how

A page explains. A film shows.

The studio’s own film · 48 s

A visitor skims a page; a one-minute film sets the order, the pace and what gets left out. That choice is what you are buying. Here it is, applied to the studio: one script, one storyboard, five agents and a single eye.

(In short)

Atelier 8, in short

I’m Pascal EK Loui. For fifteen years I’ve designed products and interfaces for large brands and start-ups, between Paris and Hong Kong. I’ve often seen good products badly told, and Atelier 8 comes from that.

Every film starts from your website and your references, then follows a product designer’s logic: understand the use, pick what matters, cut the rest. Five AI agents prepare the work. I frame it before they start, review every shot and decide what ships. Quality doesn’t come from the tool: it comes from the eye you bring to every frame.

Questions about use cases
01Which video should present a SaaS offer?

A 30 to 60 second explainer: the problem, your answer, the result. It sits at the top of your homepage and opens your sales meetings. At Atelier 8 that is a Signal or a Portrait, from €2,500 excluding VAT.

02How long should a company video be?

Between 30 seconds and 2 minutes for most uses: 71% of video marketers find that length the most effective (Wyzowl, 2026). On social, 15 to 20 seconds is often enough; to introduce a company, allow 45 to 90 seconds.

03How many versions do video ads need?

Several, because an ad wears out within weeks. Plan one main film and cut-downs with different hooks to test. Atelier 8’s Campaign delivers five, from €7,500 excluding VAT.

04I don’t know which use case fits me. What now?

(The formats)

FORMATSof the studio

Motion design film pricing · written before we start

Three formats, one direction: a film’s script, picture and sound stay in the same hands, from first exchange to delivery.

(The principle)

Every film deserves better than a template with a new logo: a script written for one brand, a storyboard drawn for it, then an edit where the intention stays intact to the last frame.

The three formats
Short film · 15–30 s

Signal

One idea, told in under 30 seconds. Short enough to be watched to the end, crafted enough to be remembered.

What it does for you
  • Your new feature ships: the film carries the LinkedIn post and the email to your customers.
  • At the top of your homepage, it plays muted and says what you do before anyone reads a word.
  • It opens your sales demo, your webinar or your talk on stage.
  • As a Story or a Reel, it pushes an offer, an event, a date.

The right choice when you have one clear message to get across fast.

You receive
  • One 15–30 s film, scripted and storyboarded for you
  • Sound edit included (licensed music, sound effects, mix) and burnt-in subtitles
  • Every social format: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5
  • Voice-over available as an option
From2 500 € HT5–10 working days · 2 revisions
Brand film · 45–90 s

Portrait

The film that explains your company in one minute: the problem you solve, your answer, the proof it works.

What it does for you
  • On your homepage, it answers the question you hear all the time: “so what exactly do you do?”
  • Your sales team sends it before the first meeting. The prospect arrives already knowing who you are.
  • It opens your investor meetings and client presentations, and plays on your trade-show stand.
  • Pinned on your LinkedIn page and your careers page, it welcomes clients and candidates alike.

The right choice if people keep asking you to explain what you do.

You receive
  • One 45–90 s film, with French or English voice-over
  • Sound edit included (licensed music, sound effects, mix) and subtitles
  • Every social format, plus a textless version
  • Subtitles also delivered as a separate file
From4 500 € HT10–20 working days · 2 revisions
5 films · one film and its cut-downs

Campaign

A big moment deserves more than one film: a main film and its cut-downs, to hold every channel for weeks with the same message.

What it does for you
  • Launch: the Portrait on your website and in presentations, the Signal as an ad, the three short cuts to feed your social channels for weeks.
  • Funding round: one film for the announcement, short cuts to relay the key figures to the press and on LinkedIn.
  • Trade show: the Portrait plays on the stand screen, the short cuts set the date beforehand and wrap it up afterwards.
  • Paid ads: several short versions to test which one hooks best, in French and in English.

The right choice when a big moment is coming and you want to be everywhere with one message.

You receive
  • One Portrait film (45–90 s)
  • One Signal film (15–30 s)
  • Three short cut-downs for social, sound edit included
  • Everything in French and English, voice and subtitles

(Behind the studio)

STUDIOindependent

Motion design studio · Paris — Hong Kong · since 2026

Atelier 8, the studio of Pascal EK Loui. One point of contact, from reading the brief to delivery: script, storyboard, voice, music and edit.

The talent behind the studio

Pascal EK Loui

Founder · Creative director

I’m Pascal EK Loui. For fifteen years I’ve designed products and interfaces for large brands and start-ups, between Paris and Hong Kong. I’ve often seen good products badly told, and Atelier 8 comes from that.

Every film starts from your website and your references, then follows a product designer’s logic: understand the use, pick what matters, cut the rest. You deal with one person, me, from brief to delivery.

Background
15 years of product design
Languages
French, English.
Time zones
Paris and Hong Kong
(Conviction)

A good film is not noticed first, it is felt. It builds trust before a single word is read. That feeling is what we look for, film after film.

(Commitments)

One person to deal with, from brief to delivery.

Commitments
One idea per scene. Your words, not mine. Every shot reviewed before you see it. Price, timeline and revisions in writing before work begins.
Time zones
Paris and Hong Kong, six to seven hours apart: one shared working day.
(The groundwork)

It took me monthsto make it fast.

These agents did not come out of a box. I first developed the skills of a film one by one: writing a script, breaking down a storyboard, editing the picture, mixing the sound. Months of experiments, hundreds of shots generated, judged, redone. Once a skill reached the level I wanted, I plugged it into an agent, which now holds that role.

That groundwork is done once and for all. Your film doesn’t pay for it: it goes straight to writing, with no kick-off meeting or workshops, and one person to deal with.

The team

One human eye, five AI agents.

The agents execute; I keep control. Each holds one role with a written specification: an input, an output, a limit. I frame the work before they start, check what they return and decide what ships. Nothing reaches you without passing before my eyes.

FAQbefore you order

Twenty questions about motion design films · short answers

Prices are those of the Formats page. For everything else, one question is enough: the brief is two minutes away.

Before you order
01What do I need to provide?

Your website address, a few reference photos and videos, some context. No script to write.

02Who writes the script and storyboard?

Atelier 8, from your site and your words. You read and approve before any production starts.

03Are my photos and videos used?

Yes, if you wish and if you hold the rights. Nothing is published without your approval.

04Can we sign an NDA?

Yes, before you send the brief, on simple request.

Price and terms
05How much does a motion design film cost?

Signal from €2,500, Portrait from €4,500, Campaign from €7,500, excluding VAT. If your film fits a format, that’s the price you pay. A specific request? A quote within two working days.

Prices excluding VAT, no hidden extras.
06What do revisions include?

Two rounds for Signal and Portrait, three for Campaign, set in advance. An extra round costs €180 excluding VAT.

07How does payment work?

50% on order, the balance on delivery, before the final files are handed over. Quotes are valid for 30 days.

VAT and invoicing details depend on the billing entity, France or Hong Kong.
08Are usage rights included?

Yes. Once the film is paid for, you use it on all your channels, commercially, with no limit of time or territory and no licence to pay again. Music and sounds come from libraries under a commercial licence: they are used within the film, not on their own.

09Is sound included?

Yes, in every format: a commercially licensed music track, sound effects, voice-over for Portrait and Campaign, and a mix timed to the picture. The music sources and licences are handed over with the film.

Production
10How long does production take?

5 to 10 working days for Signal, 10 to 20 for Portrait, 25 to 30 for Campaign, from storyboard approval.

11Do you work in English, for Hong Kong?

Yes, in French and English. Paris and Hong Kong are six to seven hours apart, which leaves one shared working day.

12Do you use artificial intelligence?

Yes, and I say so. Five AI agents do the execution: research, first drafts, shot breakdowns, animation proposals. I frame their work, review every output and decide what gets delivered to you. Art direction, the final edit and every approval stay human.

13What do your AI agents do?

Each holds one role with a written specification: what it receives, what it returns, what it does not do. The spec sheets are on the studio page. On-screen voices and faces are human or synthetic, stated in the quote.

14Are your AI agents off-the-shelf tools?

No. They are skills I developed myself over months of experiments: writing a script, breaking down a storyboard, editing the picture, mixing the sound. Each was tested and redone on hundreds of shots before being handed to an agent. The underlying AI models are the ones on the market; the way they are made to work is the studio’s own.

15Do you use templates?

Every film is written, directed and edited for its client. Atelier 8 has its own working tools; no film is a template filled with a new logo.

Choosing well
16What is a motion design film?

A short film where text, shapes, interfaces and images are animated to get an idea across in seconds. It’s the format behind launch videos, explainer films and social ads. At Atelier 8, a film runs 15 to 90 seconds and is written for one brand only.

17Studio, agency or freelancer: what’s the difference?

An agency often brings in several people, and its prices show it. A freelancer usually covers one role, often animation, and leaves the script and sound to you. Atelier 8 sits in between: one person answers for the whole film, from script to sound, with published prices and delivery in one to six weeks.

18Why is it faster than an agency?

Because the long work was done before your project: the skills behind each role are already in place. There is no kick-off meeting, no workshops, no chain of people to coordinate: you talk to the person who writes and edits your film. Allow 10 to 20 working days for a 45 to 90 second Portrait, where an agency usually quotes 6 to 10 weeks for an animated film of that length.

19Cheaper than an agency: does that mean worse?

An agency’s price also pays for coordination: project manager, meetings, back-and-forth between teams. Here, you pay for the film. I review every shot before you see it, and price, timing and revisions are written down before work starts.

20How long should a company video be?

Under 30 seconds for an announcement, an ad or a post: people keep one idea. 45 to 90 seconds to present your company or product, on your site, in a meeting or at a trade show. Beyond that, attention drops fast: several short films beat one long one.
