What are the different types of animation?

We specialise in several key types of animation, each suited to different purposes. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences between 2D animation, 3D animation, motion graphics, and character animation:

2D Animation

This style involves creating flat, two-dimensional characters and environments. It’s often used in explainer videos, cartoons, and corporate presentations. 2D animation is ideal for storytelling with a more illustrative or stylised look and is generally more cost-effective and quicker to produce than 3D animation. Here’s an example.

3D Animation

In 3D animation, characters and objects have depth and can move in a realistic, three-dimensional space. This type of animation is often used for product demonstrations, commercials, and films where a lifelike representation is required. 3D animations are more complex to create and require longer production times but offer a high level of visual impact. Here’s an example.

Motion Graphics

Motion graphics focus on animating text, icons, shapes, and other graphical elements, making them perfect for explaining abstract concepts, data visualisation, or branding videos. Unlike 2D and 3D animation, motion graphics are typically more focused on conveying information rather than storytelling through characters.

Character Animation

Character animation can be either 2D or 3D, but its key focus is on bringing characters to life. This type of animation is used to add personality and emotional depth to a narrative, whether it’s for an explainer video, a cartoon, or a branded story. The movements, expressions, and gestures of the character are essential to engaging the audience and making the story more relatable.

What is the animation production process?

As a full-service animation studio, our animation process is broken down into several key stages:

Concept & Ideation

The first step is understanding important details such as content, audience and the objectives of the animation. From there, we develop a creative concept or decide on a particular style.

Scriptwriting

We take your key information and craft an engaging and informative script for your video.

Style Frames

To help you visualise the design of the animation, we create full style frames. These style frames are still images, often taken from a scripted scene that demonstrate the fully-finished animation style.

Storyboarding

To bring the script and style to life, we draw each scene as a storyboard. This helps you to visualise key sequences, movements and actions before animation begins.

Animation

This is where the magic happens! Our team animates the designed assets, bringing them to life through fluid motion and expression.

Sound Design

Finally, we add music, sound effects and voiceover to enhance the animation.

Review & Revisions

And don’t worry… we provide you with regular drafts throughout the process. Here you can feedback on the development of your animation and we will implement revisions as necessary.

Delivery

The final animation is delivered in your required format, ready for distribution.

Can animation be customised to fit my brand?

Absolutely. We ensure that every animation we create is fully tailored to your brand’s identity. From colour schemes and typography to tone of voice and style, we work closely with you to incorporate your brand guidelines and values. Our goal is to create an animation that not only looks visually appealing but also aligns perfectly with your brand.

How long does it take to create an animation?

The timeline for an animation project depends on the complexity and scope of the project. A simple 2D animation might take 4-6 weeks, while an intricate 3D animation or explainer videos could take several weeks or months. Factors like script finalisation, feedback cycles, and the complexity of the animation style will influence the delivery time.

However, we work closely with you to set realistic timelines and keep you informed throughout the process.

How much does it cost to produce an animation?

The cost of an animation project varies based on factors such as length, complexity, animation style, and specific requirements. For example, a short, straightforward motion graphics animation will cost less than a detailed, fully-rendered 3D video. We provide custom quotes for every project to ensure you get the best value for your budget but you should consider an animation project to start around £10k.

How can my business use animation?

Corporate animation is a powerful tool for businesses to communicate ideas in a visually engaging and effective way. Whether you’re explaining a complex product or service, enhancing brand identity, or simplifying data, animated video production can bring your message to life in ways that traditional media might struggle to achieve.

In fact, according to Insivia, approximately 90% of marketers report a good ROI from video marketing, indicating that animated videos contribute effectively to revenue growth.

With that in mind, below are some common uses for business animation.

 

Explainer Animations

Simplify complicated concepts and products with engaging visuals, helping your audience quickly understand your offerings.

 

Product Demos

Show how a product works in detail, highlighting key features and benefits without the limitations of physical filming.

 

Brand Storytelling

Build an emotional connection with your audience through animated brand stories that reflect your corporate values and vision.

 

Training and E-learning

Use animation to make training more interactive and engaging for employees or customers, simplifying instructions and processes.

 

Social Media Content

Catch attention on social platforms with dynamic, short animations that boost engagement and shareability.

 

Data Visualisation

Transform complex data into clear, animated charts or infographics, making it easier to digest and more memorable.

 

With animation, your business can communicate clearly and creatively, standing out in competitive markets while connecting more deeply with your audience. To delve deeper in to the different animation styles, take a look at our comprehensive guide.

How do you ensure high-quality animation?

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality animations by adhering to industry best practices at every stage of production. Our experienced team uses the latest software and tools, and we follow a rigorous quality assurance process.

Each animation undergoes multiple rounds of review, both internally & externally, to ensure it meets both our standards and your expectations. We focus on attention to detail, clear communication, and client feedback to achieve the best possible result.
