Questions
What factors influence animation project costs?
Project length, complexity, and production requirements determine pricing. Short simple animations start at £10,000 while complex productions with full team involvement can reach six figures.
How long does an animation project take?
Simple 60-second animations require four weeks, while complex projects with detailed design elements typically take 8-10 weeks from concept to delivery.
What distinguishes 2D and 3D animation?
2D animation uses flat drawings while 3D creates dimensional models. 3D offers easier modifications during production, while 2D often provides faster initial production timelines.
What industries do you work with?
Primarily B2B brands needing clear explanations, creative agencies requiring animation partners, and tech scale-ups transforming complex ideas into visual content.
What is motion design?
Motion design involves animated graphics like logos and transitions, distinct from character animation. We often combine both approaches in comprehensive visual communication solutions.
