How To Make A 2D Product Animation
Let’s take a look at the production process for creating a 2D product animation so that you know what to expect while we make your video.
1). Contact Us
Send us a message or schedule a call with our production team.
We’ll work with you to develop a production budget and timeline for your dream video.
Our team will schedule a kick off call to learn the unique benefits of your product, your target audience and the key messages you want to convey in your product animation.
2). Script
Video Igniter’s writing team will use the information we learned in the kick off call to develop the first draft of the script for your 2D product animation.
We’ll review the script with you to ensure we address all of your key talking points in a way that resonates with your target audience and make edits as necessary until you approve the script.
3). Storyboard
Video Igniter’s storyboard artists will turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard acts as a blueprint for your animated product video and tells the illustrators and animators what to create for every sentence of your script.
We’ll review your storyboard with you to make sure all of the visuals accurately represent your product and highlight its key features.
4). VoiceOver
You will receive several voiceover auditions from Video Igniter. After you select your favorite artist, Video Igniter will oversee the recording of the voiceover for your 2D product animation.
You will be given an opportunity to review the recording and request revisions before approving the voiceover for production.
5). Soundtrack
You will receive several soundtracks that can be used to enhance the presentation of key moments in your 2D product animation.
Select your favorite soundtrack and Video Igniter will secure the broadcast license so that we can legally use the music in your animated product video.
6). Illustrations
Video Igniter’s art director will develop multiple pieces of concept art for your video. You get to select your preferred visual concept and collaborate with our art director to fine tune the visual details until your product is represented perfectly!
Then, Video Igniter’s art team will create the rest of the illustrations for your 2D product animation. You get an opportunity to review all of the illustrations and request edits before approving the art for production.
7). Animation
Now that everything has been created and approved, it’s time for us to make your 2D product animation.
As soon as the first draft is ready, we will schedule a review to make sure all details of your animation turned out as expected. If any fine tuning or adjustments are needed, our team will make it happen!
Once all of the final revisions are addressed, we will render out the final draft of your 2D product animation for you to use.

What Does It Cost To Make A 2D Animated Product Video?
2D animated videos cost between $1,000 and $100,000 (or more) to create each 60 seconds of video. Most 2D animated product videos can be created for less than $10,000. Fancier animations that use cel animation tend to cost over $10,000 per minute of content we create.

How Long Does It Take To Make A 2D Product Animation?
