Gradient is a video, motion graphics & Animation studio working with clients of all sizes.
Founded in 2016 by Laura Beth Ezzell and Nick Smith, we offer high-quality video, animation, motion graphics, voice over and more. Were located in North Alabama and we’ve worked with clients large and small, from mom and pop shops all the way up to some of the largest international companies in the world.
With backgrounds in journalism and corporate video production, we have the skills and experience to execute most projects in-house, or to bring on other artists and creatives to realize your vision. We’d love to chat about how we can help with your next project.

Laura Beth is our early riser and energizer bunny who never stops. She coordinates and manages the entire video production process, from developing ideas and writing scripts to providing voice-over and editing. Laura Beth began her career as a television reporter telling people's stories, a passion she continues today through video and her voice over skills.
Laura Beth is married with three kids. When she isn't joyfully cleaning up their many messes, she's digging into the dark chocolate and spending every spare minute outdoors.
