What is the production process like to make an animation business video?
Before you start production on an animated video for your business, it’s good idea to have an understanding of what happens during the production process. This brief overview will show you step by step how to turn the idea in your head into a custom animation for your business.
Step 1: Get A Quote
Send us a message, schedule a call or fill out this questionnaire to get a quote for your animation business video.
Step 2: Write The Script
Our team will develop a video script that conveys your business’ key talking points in a way that resonates with your target audience so they take action when they’re done watching your animation. You get an opportunity to review the script and request edits until the script is perfect.
Step 3: Create The Storyboard
Next, we’ll turn your script into a storyboard so we have a visual blueprint to help us create your animation business video. You get an opportunity to review the storyboard and request edits.
Step 4: Create The Art
Our art director will review your brand guidelines and create several pieces of concept art for your animation business video. Let the art director know which concept is your favorite. Then, our production team will create all of the illustrations for your business video. You get an opportunity to review all the art and request revisions.
Step 5: Record The VoiceOver
You will receive a selection of voiceover auditions to listen to. Let us know which one is your favorite and we’ll hire that person to record the full voiceover for your animation business video. You get an opportunity to listen to the full narration and request edits, if necessary.
Step 6: Select A Soundtrack
You will also receive several soundtracks to listen to. Let us know which is your favorite and we’ll acquire the appropriate license(s) to use the music in your animation business video.
Step 7: Animate
Now that everything is approved, we can animate your business video! As soon as the first draft is ready, you will receive a link to download and share the video with your team. Collect everyone’s edits and send them our way. We’ll integrate your revisions and render out the final draft of your animation business video.
How much does it cost to create an animation business video?
Most 2D animation business videos can be created for $1,500-$7,500 (for a 60-second video.) Fancier animation business videos created using traditional hand drawn animation can cost 2-4x more to create.
3D animation business videos can sometimes be created for $5,000-$10,000 but often times $10,000 is the baseline budget.

In the guide, you’ll learn:
- What to look for before hiring an animation studio

- Tips to negotiate a lower production
- Details to include in your production contract.

How long does it take to make an animation business video?

Animation Business Video Budget Saving Tips
Combine these tips to save $1,000 or more off the cost of hiring Video Igniter to create your animation business video.
Write The Script
Writing the script for your animation business video can save you $500 off the price of each minute of content we produce for you. Download our free script writing template to get started.
Record The VoiceOver
Hiring a voiceover artist can be cheap. However, the commercial and broadcast licenses we need to buy to legally use the recording in your animation business video can add hundreds of dollars to your production budget. You can avoid paying for expensive voiceover licenses if you record the voiceover for your video yourself. Watch 1:31 in this video to see how you can do it for free.
Create The Storyboard
Creating the storyboard for your animation business video can save you an additional $500 off the cost of each minute of content we create for you. Download our free storyboard template and review the included storyboard creation guide to see how easy it is to make.
Find Free Music
Stock music can be cheap – however, we’re creating an animated video to help your business – so we need to buy a commercial and or a broadcast license so we can legally use the music in your video. This can add hundreds or thousands of dollars to your production budget. On the other hand, if you want to spend time looking for royalty free music for your video, we can use it in your business video without having to bill for expensive licenses. Check out sites like Incompetech and Facebook’s sound collection for large libraries of free music.
Start Production ASAP
The easiest thing you can do to save 10%-50% or more off your production budget is to start production as soon as possible. Rush delivery is available if you need to speed up the production process – but it can increase your production budget by 10%-50% or more. To avoid or minimize paying extra for rush delivery, send us a message or schedule a call and we’ll work with you to develop a production plan and budget for your animation business video.
