Quick answer
How does the 2D animation process work?
The 2D animation process runs from script and storyboard to character and background design, animation, sound and final delivery. You approve the script and storyboard first. A short explainer usually takes 3 to 5 weeks, and we export for every platform.

How we deliver 2D Animation.
Script & storyboard

Original characters and settings built for expressive movement.
Frame-by-frame & rigged animation
The right technique for the look and budget, from traditional to cut-out.
Edit, sound & delivery
Timing, music, voice-over and exports for every platform.

Common questions.
How much does 2D animation cost?
Cost depends on length, style and complexity. We provide a fixed quote after reviewing your script and references.
Can you animate my existing characters or logo?
Yes. We can animate characters, mascots and logos you already have, or design new ones.
Do you provide voice-over and music?
Yes. We can cast voice talent and source or compose original music for your animation.
Can I get the animation in different aspect ratios?
Yes. We deliver versions for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and your website.
What animation styles do you offer?
We produce 2D character and frame-by-frame animation, 3D animation, motion graphics, explainer videos and animated logos. We help you choose the style that suits your story, audience and budget.
How long does an animation project take?
A 60-second explainer usually takes 3 to 5 weeks. Character-driven 2D and 3D projects take longer, typically 6 to 12 weeks depending on length and complexity.
Do I need to supply a script?
No. We can write the script and storyboard for you, or work from yours. Either way you approve the script and storyboard before animation begins.
Which file formats will I receive?
You receive final video in MP4 and MOV at the resolutions you need, plus social cut-downs, captions files and, where requested, the project source files.
