Trickery
Trickery is an animation studio that transforms what you see into what you feel. Founded by Werner Burger and Louis Minnaar, who met in college through their shared passion for illustration, 3D animation and film, they’ve been working as a directing duo since 2015.
Specialising in breakthrough 2D and 3D motion graphics and animation, Trickery thrives on turning the ordinary into the unexpected. The studio delivers clear, impactful work that engages audiences and drives measurable results for agencies, brands, corporations, and internal teams worldwide. By combining movement, color, and rhythm, Trickery transforms ideas into engaging visual stories that capture attention, evoke emotion, and communicate complex messages through strong storytelling.
They work with a highly versatile and hands-on approach—fast, flexible, and adept at finding the right visual style for every project. Their expertise spans concept, art direction, graphic design, illustration, animation, and motion design. At the heart of their practice lies a strong conceptual foundation that brings clarity, consistency, and depth to every visual outcome. Their guiding principle remains clear: motion breaks the static, and the ordinary twists into the unexpected. This is where Trickery thrives, bending what you see into something you feel.
