MOTIF is the result of two lifelong dreams to create a production company built on three values; quality, creativity, and reliability. We've got 20 years of experience in producing films, creating animations, and making ideas a reality. We took all the love, care, and attention we have for what we do and created MOTIF.
MEET THE TEAM
-
James Craggs
MANAGING DIRECTOR. CO-FOUNDER
Just about holding sh*t together.
Generally obsolete.

Tautvydas Baranauskas
CREATIVE DIRECTOR. CO-FOUNDER
Makes stuff look nice with cameras or by editing things, colouring things or coming up with ideas for things. For example, this page and all the images on it, Tauts decided that we’d have this sort of ‘team’ page, which is why he’s standing on a busy street…in a dressing gown…in a cowboy hat…with a duck on his shoulder…that’s also wearing a cowboy hat.
Creative and meta.

Rosie Costello
DEVELOPMENT PRODUCER
So, you've got one of them thoughts. Could be like a script or something. Stuff could happen and then people could be happier or sadder or indifferenter at the end of it. Maybe, you've got a place you can get to or people you can speak to that only you can speak to or get to. These thoughts can be turned into ideas...developed if you will. Rosie does that and likes it.
She likes things that tell stories or take you on a journey or shed light on something that doesn't normally get light shed on it. Like mushrooms. She likes idea mushrooms. She doesn't like gluten or meat.
Idea Mushrooms.

Nat Knowles
JUNIOR EDITOR & LINE PRODUCER
Nat likes pushing buttons. It could be for the benefit of creating videos for clients or social media content, or it could be just to generally annoy her co-workers.
Known affectionately as our ‘attack hamster’ Nat plays a vital role in the MOTIF team according to her and all the other junior editors.
Always cold.

James Boughen
FREELANCE SCRIPTED PROJECT LEAD
James likes words. Specifically, words that when put together they make people laugh. He likes to take those words - written by him or others - and work on them until broadcasters and streaming platforms think that they’re a collection of ideas and sentences that they want to pay money for. Thankfully he does that for us. You can tell he’s good at comedy from the composition of this picture but he doesn’t endorse smoking - that’s just for the creative effect of this page.
