Motion Giraffx is an exceptional animation and video production studio operating in the heart of Houston. I’ve partnered with them on the content side of numerous 2D and 3D animation videos, and their process, professionalism, and quality are top-notch. They are brimming with vision and pay strong attention to perspective and mood. I look forward to working with them again in the future and highly recommend their creative services to anyone looking for visual marketing tools.

MotionGiraffx is absolutely top notch. My company came to them with a long list of needs on a tight time frame and they delivered an outstanding product. Brad and Cara are a pleasure to work with, very communicative, and are truly willing to go the extra mile to meet their customer's needs. If you are looking for high quality service and an outstanding product look no further! We will be working with them again I hope very soon

My experience working as an intern at Motion Giraffx was very positive! I was able to expand my portfolio and learn a lot from the owners. Working at Motion Giraffx means having new and exciting projects to work on each week while enjoying a friendly work environment.

Here I go repeating myself. Motion Giraffx is literally bringing in depth understanding and communication to our client base. They have changed the game for companies time and time again. Check out their work with Exum Instruments.

Cara and her team have delivered amazing renders and animations for our team time and time again. The most impressive part is the little amount of back and forth iteration because of how much effort they put into understanding what you want from the beginning. I won’t go anywhere else

Motion Giraffx is a top-notch vendor to work with. They are quick to respond with creative ideas and really walk you through the creative process with help and resources available to make sure the final product is dynamic and as impressive as possible. We've used them for photoshoots, videos, and animations, and each time they have delivered on time and in budget. This team is always available to take my calls, and they truly understand my needs and how to accomplish our goals!

Cara & Sage went above and beyond with our Product Animation Video. Their 3D Animation has added an overall knowledge to our customers, And Increased traffic to our product. They understood exactly our vision and how to visually explain step by step. We will definitely recommend them for any 2D or 3D Animations in the Houston area.

It's hard to find great people for 3D animation in Houston, but our startup has used Cara & her team at Motion Giraffx for two series of videos over the last 3 years. We've got high standards for our brand, and we're no doubt tough customers for contract folks. However, Cara has consistently over delivered. The process is smooth, the team is super talented, they put our needs first, and the final result is always perfect. As her firm has grown, that hasn't changed. Can't recommend MG any higher. Here's a few shots of some of the animations she's done for us.

Our Team

Cara Lackey

Chief Executive Officer

Cara is the owner of Motion Giraffx and the brains behind the whole operation. Since 2014, she’s been realizing her dream of operating an animation powerhouse right here in Houston that tells visually stunning stories fast and affordably in a family-friendly agency environment. She’s French-Canadian (c’est vrai!), mom to two sweet boys, and has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, so step in line, son. When she’s not kicking ass running the business, Cara can be found consuming too much Diet Coke or watching murder shows on Netflix with a glass of wine. Red wine.
Brad Lackey Motion Giraffx

Brad Lackey

Motion Designer | Videographer

Brad is our head motion designer and videographer, and father to two young boys. Named after a 1970s Motocross champion, he lives up to the hype, enthusiasm, and grit—but he can’t get a domain name to save his life. Brad would like you to know that he’s lost a game against a professional bowler by a single pin, and he can clap with one hand. Are these accomplishments related? We may never know.
Sean Lane Motion Giraffx

Sean Lane

Motion Designer

An avid film, TV, and gaming buff, Sean claims to have “spent an unhealthy amount of time” playing the Metal Gear Solid Series. His favorite films include The Fisher King and Tekkon Kinkreet, and he loves the series Halt and Catch Fire. He’s our go-to for all things 2D animation, and he would like you all to know that he saw Drake in an airport before he was famous.

Lorena Adolores

Multimedia Designer

Lorena tells people that she's a Marvel fan to distract them from the fact that she's an actual super human. She's an editing-animating-filming-illustrating badass by day, and a stuffed animal crochet granny by night. Her dual Mexican-American identity gives her super strength to help compensate for her bum knee that killed her career in professional soccer. The world rejoices that "multimedia artist" was her plan B.
Corinne Chalmers VP of HR

Corinne Chalmers

VP of Human Resources Development

The ghostwriter behind the whole operation, Corinne makes sure we're compliant with the law, company policies, and personal development goals so that we can focus the rest of our attention on having fun and telling cool stories. She's a badass Canadian vegan grandma boss that keeps the show going behind the scenes.
