25 Best Mixed Media Animation Videos & Examples (2026)

Customer testimonials are a great way to show off your brand and product. Your audience sooner trusts their peers than a billboard or slick ad campaign. That is why testimonials are so popular.

But there is a way to supercharge those glowing reviews: with the power of animation.

Oddfellows crafted this delightful and fun mixed media animated video to really add that zing to their customers' enthusiastic endorsements.

It is another example of a religious tenet here at Broadcast2World: facts and figures speak to the mind; art touches the heart; but only storytelling can combine the two and create a powerful sense of trust with your audience.

Gender norms, toxic masculinity, and patriarchy are hot topics today, as especially young people are calling out these traditional societal "norms" and questioning them.

But it is a dense, complex topic, spreading across centuries and disciplines from politics, history, sociology and psychology. How can the truth be broken down into a simple one-minute explanation, cover all the key points, and also hold the casual viewer's attention?

This is not an impossible task, and this brilliant mixed media animated video is proof. Using the power of animation, paired with a clever script and just a dash of humor, MTV broke down centuries of human history and geopolitics into just 47 seconds.

The graphics and visuals are typical of mixed media animation, combining text, photo clippings, and jazzing it up with color and style to keep the viewer engaged.

Imaging departments do not buy a service, they buy uptime. The Hologic SureCare pitch is about system availability, staff productivity and patient throughput, none of which can be filmed.

The video keeps the imaging hardware real and photographic while the service wraps around it as graphics: coverage, response, predictive analytics, training. You see the machine you already own and the invisible support layer at the same time.

Ready to dive into a treasure trove of unique finds? Welcome to The Grommet, where inventors, entrepreneurs, and small businesses shine.

Their motto? "We sell lots of things, but boring isn't one of them." And trust us, they mean it.

Mixed media videos like these work best for social media platforms. This animated masterpiece isn't just about explaining what they do; it's a glimpse into Grommet's colorful world.

Carbon permits are an accounting abstraction. Vanderbilt is buying permits out of regulated compliance markets so that nobody else can use them to pollute, which is a real action with nothing to photograph.

The video gives the abstraction a physical form. The vault is not decoration, it is the explanation: you watch permits leave circulation and get locked away, and the mechanism becomes obvious without a single line of policy jargon. Read more about our success story here.

Fourteen speakers, one argument, two minutes. Films like this usually collapse into a showreel of talking heads with nothing holding them together.

What keeps it upright is the graphic layer running underneath the interview fragments, carrying the through-line about inequality, reskilling and the energy transition while the faces supply the authority. Neither element would survive on its own at this length.

Sales enablement video has a tone problem. Go too corporate and nobody watches; go too casual and the numbers stop landing.

This one solves it by splitting the job. A sales rep tells a first-person story about winning a Hispanic-segment account, and the graphic layer handles the market data, the pricing logic and the product mix. The anecdote stays human while the figures stay legible.

Environmental concerns are no longer some niche interest, but a major issue facing the world today. And companies are doing their part, responding to the public's calls to be more sustainable and pollute less.

So to that end, this 30-second mixed media video uses delightful paper-like typographic animation to communicate the message of the ongoing sustainability journey of Coca-Cola as a brand. It is visually engaging, even entertaining, and explains its message easily and simply without overwhelming the viewer with too much information.

Edge computing is a word for where processing happens. That is a spatial idea, and most videos about it resort to a network diagram with glowing lines.

This one draws the network as a place instead. Devices, roads, displays and the processing layer share one continuous illustrated world, so moving compute closer to the user is something you watch happen rather than something you are told.

CooperVision had the harder half of a healthcare problem: a genuine material advantage in silicone hydrogel that only an eye care professional could appreciate, and a consumer audience who would never read the spec.

The answer was to lead with the life rather than the polymer. The emotional case for contact lenses arrives first, carried by character work, and the technical claim about oxygen permeability lands afterwards, once the viewer has a reason to care. The same structure runs through the Confidence Claims film, where survey findings are delivered through characters rather than charts.

Supply chain arguments are hard to film, because the damage happens in places the brand does not control and would rather you did not see. Landfills, rivers, factory floors on the other side of the world.

This one splits the job cleanly. Documentary footage carries the places, and graphic animation carries the accounting, so a claim as large as ten per cent of global pollution arrives as a figure you can watch accumulate rather than one you have to take on faith. A single T-shirt stays the one constant object across every switch of technique.

Hospitals had a hygiene and safety problem that no dashboard could explain, because the thing being measured was physical space. Who came in, who left, which surfaces were touched, which patient needed help and nobody noticed.

For Lenovo and meldCX we built a mixed media piece that keeps the ward real and the AI layer visible at the same time. Photographic and live environments carry the hospital; animated overlays carry what the vision system is actually detecting on top of it. The technique matches the product, because edge AI is literally a layer sitting over a real room.

Screen recordings are the default for software demos and they are flat. You see the interface and nothing around it, so the product feels small.

The watsonx film sets real product UI inside an illustrated frame, so the prompt lab and the tuning studio arrive with a sense of scale around them. The UI stays literal, which it has to for a developer audience, while the surrounding world does the work of ambition.

Advanced Financial Systems needed to walk clients through what happens when they miss a debt repayment. The subject is shame-adjacent, and most financial comms either moralise or go cold.

Our mixed media treatment is what keeps it warm. The three options, make-up payment, partial payment, skip a payment, are handled graphically so they stay precise, while the surrounding visual world stays soft and human rather than clinical.

Surveying equipment is hard to sell on film because the pain is procedural rather than dramatic. Setup takes too long, receivers get configured wrong, and you find out about it on the drive home.

The WingtraGround film compresses that with mixed media: real field footage carries the job site, motion graphics carry the workflow connecting drone, receiver and cloud. The claim is about setup time and accuracy, so the video we made shows the setup rather than the drone, which is the harder and more useful choice.

Just because mixed media combines all sorts of styles and types of animation together, doesn't mean it has to be a cluttered mess.

BUCK is an industry-leading mixed media animation firm. And as you would expect, their mixed media motion graphics video for IBM Design Language is quite fittingly neat and clean, with a distinct and deliberate look and feel, because of what they are talking about: design.

You might not even notice that it is mixed media because its elements blend seamlessly, like an orchestra. But take a second look and you will realize you have got 2D, 3D, text, live video and infographics all smoothly working together to tell a story.

The comprehensive digital twin is a hard sell on film because the product is a relationship between two things: a real factory and its exact digital model.

Mixed media is the only format that can hold both at once. The physical plant and the vehicles stay grounded and real; the digital twin sits over them as a second layer you can see through. A video that showed only one of the two would be describing half the product.

Public health campaigns have to make an abstract threat feel immediate without frightening people into switching off. For the Union for International Cancer Control the subject was antimicrobial resistance, which has no visual of its own.

So we used mixed media to give it one. Photographic and illustrated elements carry the human world, where people take antibiotics and have surgery and recover. Graphic animation carries what is happening at a scale nobody can see. The film closes on something the viewer can act on rather than a statistic they can only absorb.

The Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health needed a video about birth control. Since they already had live-action videos of interviews of various people, we added an animation overlay over them to create this mixed media video that smoothly blended multiple styles, and stood out as fun, unique and memorable.

This is what we meant by fusing together multiple styles of animation. Here, BUCK fused traditional animation with 3D stop motion in this video for Emirates.

BUCK seamlessly blended traditional animation with 3D stop-motion models, bringing us a playful take on an annoying issue in airline travel: rambunctious noisy kids who don't like flying. We have all been there.

By going for a light-hearted and jovial tone, this delightful video is careful not to offend anyone by being sympathetic to all parties, while revealing their solution: more entertainment options to keep kids happy.

Network infrastructure is the least visual subject in B2B. For Fujitsu the story was digital transformation starting at the network layer, which means the product is a set of relationships rather than a thing you can put on screen.

Our mixed media approach for this video gives each of the three pillars, evolve, automate and innovate, its own visual treatment while keeping one continuous world. The structure of the argument becomes visible before the voiceover explains it, which is what lets a film about carrier networks hold a non-specialist.

We mentioned that mixed media videos are great at dispensing a lot of information easily. They are also great for mixed media commercials.

But that is not a hard and fast rule: sometimes a great animated video can say a lot without saying anything at all. Take this video by Yeti for KEAN Fruits.

It is just a kaleidoscope of fun visuals set to high-energy music with no script or voiceover. But notice how it tells you everything you need to know: the brand's energy, liveliness, and unique personality are on full display.

Here is the video we created for Comviva’s Tokenization system. Since it was aimed at banking and IT professionals who are already familiar with cybersecurity applications, you will notice that it gets somewhat technical and in-depth to match.

We are speaking the audience’s language here, so there is no need to water it down much. We used bright, dynamic imagery for a mixed-media style to really grab and hold the viewer's attention.

Refineries and chemical plants lose their margin in the gaps between people. Planners, schedulers, engineers and operators each work from their own isolated models, and tens of millions of dollars of margin go uncaptured every year simply because nobody can see the whole operation at once.

That is a mixed media problem by definition. The plant itself stays physical and real, while the digital twin, the minute-by-minute data and the optimisation layer sit over it as graphics. You watch the silos come down rather than listen to a voiceover claim that they have.

Fitness and wellness are your true passions. And when you create something special that helps you achieve even better health and quality of life, you know that you must share it with the world.

But how do you get people to understand and trust your offering, in a crowded and busy space already dominated by established giants?

That is why NewAge came to us to help them spread the word about their new wellness shot, Tahitian Noni, powered by a blend of traditional superfruits and many scientifically proven ingredients.

We worked closely with them to explain their product through this suitably lush, colorful mixed media animated video. Although the video goes into a lot of detail explaining Tahitian Noni, it is easy to understand, and the visuals and graphics subtly reinforce the viewer's perception of health and wellness.
