What are the benefits of having a video on my homepage?

A properly designed animated marketing video can drive huge business results when you add it to your homepage. Here are some of the benefits you can get from adding a high performing custom animated video to your company’s homepage:

Generate More Leads ✅

Adding an animated video on your homepage is a direct and concise way to communicate what your business does and generate more leads for your business. The video can provide the full pitch for your product or service and show the benefits in 30-90 seconds. At the end of your video, you can display a text box for people to input their email address to learn more or you can present them with an image to click on to take them to buy your product/learn more/download an app, etc.

All homepage videos should include a call to action at the end of them – something that you want the viewer to do when they’re done watching your captivating video. This is how you direct people to the next step towards doing business with you. That could mean scheduling a call with a sales person, downloading your app, creating an account, etc.

When your video is designed with a compelling narrative that speaks to the problem your target audience experiences, the call to action at the end of your video should be an easy, logical way to tell them how to take the next step towards becoming a customer.

Increase Sales ✅

Time and time again, (quality) videos have been shown to increase sales when used they’re added to a landing page or a sales page.

Go search for a product on Amazon right now. You’ll be hard pressed to find one of their ‘best seller’ products that doesn’t include a video along with images and a writeup about the product. That’s because videos are able to show and explain how the product/service works better than text and images alone. When customers get a strong sense of trust and understanding about what your product or service does, they’re much more likely to have the confidence to buy from you.

Increase Time On Site = SEO Boost ✅

Adding a video to your homepage gives visitors an easy way to learn about what your business does. A wall of text is intimidating. An animated explainer video encourages people to click play and stick around for a while. The benefit here is that Google can tell people are staying on your site longer – which they see as a sign that your website is useful. The more useful Google thinks your website is, the better they will rank your website in their search results. Adding an animated video to your homepage is one of the easiest things you can do to encourage your website visitors to stick around longer.

Well Educated Customers ✅

Making an educational animated video for your homepage makes it easier for your leads and prospects to understand how your business can help them.

This helps you separate qualified leads from unqualified leads.

People who watch your video(s) and understand how they will benefit from your product or service won’t waste your time. People who are less qualified potential clients will be less likely to reach out and waste your time if it isn’t going to be a good fit for them.

How do I create a video for my homepage?

1). Pick a producer for your animated homepage video

Choosing the producer for your homepage video is one of the most important parts of the animated video production process. Here are some resources to help you pick the right animated video production company to make your homepage video:

• How to outsource an animated video project?
• 9 Things to Look For When Hiring An Animator.
• How to hire an animator?
• Pros and Cons of Different Animation Styles
• What goes into the production cost of an animated video?
• Learn about the types of online animated video makers.
• What’s the difference between hiring an animation studio, a freelance animator and Video Igniter?
• What is Video Igniter Animation?

2). Kick Off Call / Questionnaire

Now that you’ve picked out a producer for your animated homepage video, it’s time to do a deep dive on your goals and expectations for the project.

Your animation producer will either send you a questionnaire or set up a kick off call to learn more (or both!) The types of information your animation producer wants to know include:

What is your goal for the video?

When people are done watching your video, what do you want them to do?

What do you want to say in the video?

Who is your target audience?

What problem(s) do your customers experience?

What kind of visual style do you want to use for your video?

3). Write the script for your homepage video

After the kick off call/questionnaire, we’ll process the information we received and use it to develop your script. Our team will create the first draft and send it to you to review. Our goal is to develop a narrative that speaks to the unique problem(s) your target audience experiences and then highlight how your product or service can solve this problem for them. At the end of the script, they should be so excited for your solution that they’ll be waiting for your call to action to learn how they can become a customer.

Give the script a detailed review at your company. In an ideal world you should share it with members of your target audience and get their feedback as well (or we can help with that). Collect everyone’s notes and send them to us so that we can revise your script. You will get an opportunity to review the script and approve it for production or request another round of revisions.

4). Create the storyboard

Once your script is approved for production, it’s time to create your storyboard.

What is a storyboard you ask? A storyboard is a set of instructions that tell the illustrators and animators what to create.

It includes a mockup of the visuals and a set of directions that explain what illustrations need to be made and how they should move.

When you review the storyboard, focus on the visual storytelling aspects. Does the story and visual presentation of ideas speak to your target audience?

Collect all your revision notes and send them to us to revise. We’ll incorporate your edits and send you an updated draft to review and approve for production.

5). Design the illustrations

Now that your storyboard is approved, we can develop the illustrations for your homepage video. Our art director will start by creating some concept art. This helps us establish the visual style for your homepage video before we spend time creating all of the illustrations. The art director will review your branding guidelines and select a key scene from your storyboard. Then, they’ll illustrate that scene using one or more custom visual styles.

Share your honest feedback with the art director. The art director will work with you to refine your preferred piece of concept art until you love it. Then, the art director will oversee the creation of all of the illustrations for your homepage video.

You get an opportunity to review all of the illustrations and request revisions before approving the art for production.

6). Record the voiceover

We’re also going to need a voiceover narration to accompany your homepage video. Our team will audition several voiceover artists and send you the recordings to review. Let us know which artist you prefer and then hire them to record the full voiceover.

We’ll help guide the VO talent so that they use the proper pronunciation, intonation and pacing when they record your voiceover. You will get to review the full voiceover and request edits before approving the voiceover for production.

7). Pick out some music

We’ll also select a few soundtracks that we feel will enhance the presentation of your animation. You get to have the final say and pick which option you like best. After that, we’ll procure the license so that you can legally use the soundtrack in your homepage video.

8). Animate your homepage video

It’s finally time to animate! The voiceover and illustrations are approved and we can work our magic.

When the first draft is ready, give your homepage video a detailed review. Ideally, share it with some of your leads and clients to get their feedback. Collect everyone’s notes and send it to us so that we can incorporate your revisions and render out the final draft of your homepage video.

What do I do after my homepage video is complete?

Add the video to your homepage

There are many great video hosting services out there with a variety of different features and benefits for your homepage video. If you’re just looking for something simple and free, YouTube, Vimeo and Wistia are all great options. They even have analytics built in so you can see how long people watch your video.

Upload the final draft of your video to one of these services, copy the embed code and send it to your developer to add to your homepage.

If you use a hosting service like Wistia, you can customize the look and feel of how the video appears on your website. It even gives you the option for people to give you their email address at the end of the video if they want to hear from you. You can also add an image or a link at the end of your video for people to click on to direct them to create an account, download your app or buy your product.

Add a compelling thumbnail!

The thumbnail for your video is the first impression for your video. Without a compelling thumbnail, you won’t get a lot of people clicking play to watch your video. We recommend designing several different thumbnails and testing which one gets people to click play the most often.

After you have several months of data and can see which one people click on most often, make that the official default thumbnail and remove the other version that people don’t click on as often.

For a deep dive on how to do this, check out our guide called “How To Improve The Conversion Rate Of Your Video.”

Optimize for Video SEO

Optimizing your video for SEO means that when people search for terms similar to what your company does, your video might appear in search engine results on YouTube, Google, Bing, Instagram, TikTok, etc. While it isn’t possible to guarantee a video will appear in search results, there are some standard practices you can do to increase the odds of this happening. Check out our guide on Video SEO to learn more.

As a bonus, adding a video to your website keeps people on your site longer because they’re busy watching your video content. Keeping people on your site longer makes your website seem “useful” in the eyes of Google. This is a good thing. Google wants to recommend useful websites to people – so the longer you can keep people on your site, the better your search rankings will be.

Promote your homepage video!

Once your video goes live, don’t forget to promote it! Send a message to your email lists to invite people to come watch it. Upload copies to your social media channels as well.

Watch your stats and analytics to see how people engage with your video

Video hosting services usually include statistics and analytics to help you see how many people have watched your video & how long they watch your video.

Check out this article for a deep dive on how to review and interpret stats for your video.

Optimize and update over time.

One of the great things about animated videos is that you can update and improve them over time.

If you notice a certain % of people stop watching at a specific part of your video, it’s possible to update and improve that section of your video so that in the future, more people keep watching your video until the end.

Live action (non-animated) videos are much more difficult and expensive to retroactively make changes to. You need to get the film crew, actors and set back together to reshoot part of the video. If you want to make revisions to an animation, in most cases, as long as you have all the project files, you don’t need to work with the original animators and illustrators to modify sections of your animated homepage video.

Create more videos to answer your client’s questions.

Your homepage video typically serves one purpose: explaining to your target customer who you are, what you do and most importantly, how you can help your clients with their problems.

But then what?

People who are interested having your company solve their problems are going to want to learn more!

How does this work?
What does it cost?
How long is it going to take?

Each of these questions could (and should) be answered with their own videos.

You should have a video answer for all of the most popular questions you frequently receive from leads and clients. When you launch a new product, service or upgrade, create a video to illustrate what is new and better about your latest offering. Creating a video for your homepage is just the beginning.

How long does it take to make a homepage video?

Most videos can be created in 4-6 weeks (or less!) If you need to guarantee delivery of your homepage video in less than 3-4 weeks, we offer rush delivery animation to speed up production.

What does it cost to make a homepage video?

The cost of your homepage video largely depends on two things: the length of your video and the visual style used to illustrate and animate your homepage video.  Most homepage videos can be created for $1,000-$15,000.

Advanced Homepage Video Strategies to Maximize Conversions

Once you understand the fundamentals of creating a homepage video, the next step is learning how to optimize that video so it becomes one of the highest-performing assets on your website. Many companies stop after creating a single video, but the businesses that generate the highest ROI treat their homepage video like a strategic, evolving piece of content—not a one-and-done deliverable.

Below are advanced strategies, insights, and best practices to take your homepage video to the next level.

Use Behavioral Psychology to Improve Engagement

High-performing homepage videos leverage basic principles of consumer psychology to hold attention and persuade viewers. Three tactics work especially well:

1. The Curiosity Loop
Lead with a statement or visual that introduces a question in the viewer’s mind. When people feel there’s an answer coming, they naturally keep watching.
Example: “Most teams waste 30–50% of their day without realizing it… but here’s why.”

2. Contrast and Movement
Animated homepage videos perform well because contrast and motion keep the brain engaged. Fast-paced, purposeful movement is more satisfying to watch than static talking-head videos.

3. Emotional Anchoring
People choose with emotions first, then justify with logic. If your homepage video can visually represent the frustration or pain points your audience experiences, they will immediately feel understood—and stay until the solution is revealed.

Create Different Versions of Your Homepage Video

You might assume you only need one homepage video, but the truth is:
the highest-converting brands create multiple variations.

Here are the versions you should consider:

– A short 10–15 second teaser
Perfect for hero sections where auto-play (muted) is supported.

– A 30–60 second explainer
This is the standard homepage video used to convert casual visitors into leads.

– A longer 90–120 second deep-dive
Great for brands with a complex offering or enterprise product.

– A social-optimized square or vertical cut
Use these to promote your homepage video on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn to drive traffic back to your site.

Creating multiple homepage video formats allows you to split-test thumbnail options, test different calls to action, and identify which narrative produces the strongest conversion rate.

Homepage Video Placement Matters More Than You Think

Most people embed their homepage video “somewhere near the top of the page” without much thought. But placement can dramatically impact conversion rates.

Here are three effective placement strategies:

1. Above the Fold (Hero Section)
This is ideal when your video quickly communicates what your company does. If your offer requires context, placing the video here may confuse visitors.

2. Mid-Page Education Section
Perfect for videos that require setup. A small amount of explanatory text can lead into the video, helping viewers understand what they’re about to watch.

3. Near a CTA (Call to Action) Section
Placing your homepage video next to a demo button, “Get Started” form, or pricing table increases conversions because people consume the video and immediately take action.

Add Interactive Elements to Your Homepage Video

Interactive homepage videos can increase viewer engagement by 35–80%. While not required, interactive options are powerful if you want to create a more customized buyer experience.

Examples include:

• Clickable hotspots that let viewers explore features
• Branching paths (“Choose your industry,” “Pick your use case”)
• Built-in lead forms
• Personalized CTAs based on viewing behavior
• Chapter markers for long homepage videos

These features turn your homepage video into a dynamic tool rather than a passive experience.

Use Your Homepage Video to Pre-Qualify Leads

If your company receives a high volume of leads or unqualified inquiries, your homepage video can significantly decrease time-wasting conversations.

Consider building orientation content into your video such as:

• Minimum budget requirements
• Who your product is designed for
• Common deal-breakers
• A clear breakdown of how your process works
• Expected timelines or commitments

When viewers see this information up front, only the best-fit leads will continue engaging.

How to Use Analytics to Improve Your Homepage Video

Once your homepage video is live, analytics become your best friend. Here’s what to track:

1. Play Rate
This tells you how enticing your thumbnail and placement are.
If fewer than 30–40% of visitors click play, you may need a more compelling thumbnail or headline.

2. Engagement Graph
This shows where viewers stop watching.
Common drop-offs happen when:

• The intro takes too long
• The video talks too much about the company instead of the customer
• The visuals become too repetitive

Use this data to update scenes or pacing.

3. CTA Click-Through Rate
If people watch your video but don’t convert, you may need to refine your call to action.

The Best Homepage Video Length for Different Industries

There is no perfect length for every business, but industry patterns do exist.

• DTC brands: 20–45 seconds
• Tech startups: 45–75 seconds
• SaaS companies: 60–120 seconds
• Professional services: 45–90 seconds
• Enterprise or B2B: 90–150 seconds
• Nonprofits: 60–120 seconds (story-driven works well)
• Apps: 20–60 seconds

Use these ranges to guide your content strategy based on how much explanation your offer requires.

Tips for Improving the Visual Style of Your Homepage Video

A strong visual style keeps viewers engaged and increases perceived brand value. Here are some best practices:

– Use branded color palettes consistently
Your homepage video should look like it belongs to your website—not a separate asset.

– Add motion transitions that reinforce your message
Well-timed transitions make information easier to digest.

– Showcase real UI/UX if you sell software
Mockups work, but real screens build trust.

– Use characters when your audience needs empathy or relatability
Character-driven homepage videos are extremely effective for service-based businesses.

Should You Use Auto-Play for Your Homepage Video?

Auto-play can boost view count, but whether it’s the right choice depends on your layout.

Use auto-play when:

• The video is silent or muted by default
• Your video functions as a dynamic background
• You’re using a short teaser version

Do NOT use auto-play when:

• Your audience needs narration to understand the message
• Your homepage relies on conversion clarity
• You use a long video (60+ seconds)

A well-placed play button with a strong thumbnail often outperforms auto-play in conversion-focused designs.

Creating a Homepage Video for Different Buyer Stages

A homepage video should not only speak to new visitors but also help advance prospects who are in later stages of the buying cycle.

You can design your homepage video to address multiple buyer stages by including:

• A quick explanation for brand-new visitors
• Credibility builders for decision-makers
• Feature highlights for evaluators
• A CTA for buyers who are ready to act immediately

This ensures your homepage video resonates with the widest possible audience.

Below is a breakdown of the main components that determine the rate for your explainer video. For the sake of simplicity, all rates assume your explainer video is 60 seconds long. You can get a custom quote for your explainer video here.

Explainer Video Scriptwriting Rates

The script is the skeleton for your explainer video. It’s possible to save money on your production budget and write the script yourself. If you are hiring an animation studio, freelancer or Video Igniter to write the script for you, expect them to spend at least 2-4 hours researching your company and target market, another 3-4+ hours writing the first draft of the script, and then another 1-2+ hours working with you to revise the script to your satisfaction. At a rate of $50/hr and a minimum of 6 hours of work, we tell people to budget at least $300-$500+ to create the script for a 60 second explainer video.

Explainer Video Storyboard Creation Rates

The storyboard is the blueprint for your explainer video. It is a set of instructions for the illustrators and animators so they know what they are supposed to create for each sentence of your script. You can save money on your production budget by creating the storyboard yourself. If you are hiring your animation service provider to create the storyboard for a 60 second explainer video, expect them to spend at least 6-8 hours on the first draft and another 1-2+ hours revising it. Storyboards for 3D animated videos require more detailed sketches and easily take 2-3x more time to create. At a rate of $50/hr, we recommend people budget $350-$500+ if they’re hiring someone to create a storyboard for a 60 second explainer video.

Explainer Video VoiceOver Rates

English-speaking voiceover artists charge between $10-$300 to record 60 seconds of audio. This rate usually includes 1-2 rounds of revisions. Be sure to check with your voiceover artist to see if they charge extra for you to have the ‘broadcast rights’ to use their voice in paid media campaigns. If you plan to use your video within a paid broadcast media campaign (TV or Online) you may need to pay extra for the voiceover recording’s broadcast rights.

Rates for non-English voiceover recordings range between $50-$500/60 seconds depending how common the language is.

Explainer Video Soundtrack Rates

Rates for stock music soundtrack licenses range between $9-$399. Be sure to check to see what is included and not included within the scope of the broadcast rights for the track. Audio Jungle, for example, has different rates for different licenses depending on how the size of the broadcast audience:

2D Explainer Video Rates (Design and Animation Cost)

Depending on the quality and visual style of your explainer video, it takes 1-3 weeks to create all the custom illustrations for an explainer video. At $30-$50/hour, that means the designer alone costs $1200-$2000 for each week they spend creating illustrations for your explainer video.

The same rates and timelines apply for the design phase of a 2D animated explainer video?. That means the entire design and animation cost for your explainer video can cost $2400-$4000+ for a 60 second animation.

To learn more about 2D animated videos and how to create them, check out our 2D Animated Video FAQ.

3D Explainer Video Rates (Design and Animation Cost)

3D explainer videos require 2-6+ weeks to create all the custom 3D models and scenes for an explainer video. At $30+/hour, the designer costs a minimum of $1200+ for each week they spend creating 3D objects for your explainer video.

3D animators need 3-5+ weeks of time to animate a single minute of video and they cost just as much, if not more than the 3D modelers do.

Depending on the style of animation being used, it may take extra few weeks of work from teams that specialize in lighting, physics, special effects and applying advanced color skins to 3D models.

It is very difficult to throw out a ballpark budget range and timeline for a 3D explainer video because there are many different levels of detail and production quality. It’s best to reach out to us to get a custom quote. If you have questions about 3D animation or want to learn more about the 3D animated video production process, check out our FAQ about 3D animated videos.

Overhead Costs

In addition to the direct costs related to creating an explainer video, there a few other factors that also contribute to your explainer video’s production rate. This includes things like the project manager’s salary, software tools to manage the project, and miscellaneous overhead costs.

Summary of Explainer Video Rates

In total, you’re looking at a minimum of $0-$500 (Script) + $0-$500 (Storyboard) + $10-$300 (VoiceOver) + $9-$299 (Soundtrack) +$1200-$2000 (Illustration) + $1200-$2000 (Animation) + ??? (Hidden Overhead Costs) = $2419 to produce a basic 60 second explainer video.

Yes, it is possible to find uber cheap explainer video producers online – but it’s unlikely you will be happy with the quality of your explainer video if you’re trying to get the whole thing produced for under $500. A poorly designed explainer video can leave a negative impression of your brand. If you can’t invest at least $750 to create a 30 second explainer video, consider allocating those funds another way because a cheap looking video can end up doing more damage than you anticipate.

How to get lower production rates for your explainer video?

Budget Saving Tip #4: Use free, legal music

Instead of buying a soundtrack license, you can download free, legal music from Incompetech and Facebook’s Sound Collection for your explainer video.

Budget Saving Tip #5: Consider using stock assets

Video Igniter specializes in making custom animated videos – but that doesn’t mean your animated video needs to be 100% custom illustrated. If you are open to us using some stock assets within your video (i.e. stock images, videos, text, icons, stock animations, 3d models, etc), let us know and we’ll see if it’s possible for us to use them to slightly decrease the rate for your explainer video.

Rush Delivery Explainer Video Rates?

Normally it takes 3-6 weeks to create a 60-second 2D explainer video. 3D animations take 2-3x more time. For more details on the timeline for an explainer video, check out this companion article.

But what if you need to guarantee delivery faster for a deadline or a launch date? Let us know and we will devise a custom tailored production schedule and production rate for your explainer video that will enable us to complete the job before your deadline. More information about rush delivery animation is available here.

Does my production cost go up if I ask for more revisions?

That depends on who you hire to create your explainer video. Most animation studios and freelancers limit you to 1-2 rounds of revisions. Any more than that and they may start adding extra charges to your final bill.

Video Igniter has an Unlimited Revisions Policy for Simple and Standard Animation projects. This means your explainer video won’t go over budget. We will revise your script, storyboard, voiceover, soundtrack selections, illustrations and animation an unlimited number of times – until you mark them as approved. As long as the edits remain within the scope of the script and storyboard you approved, we will continue to work with you to revise details of your explainer video until you are completely thrilled with every part of it.

Factors That Influence Explainer Video Rates

While many pricing guides provide general ranges for explainer video rates, it’s equally important to understand why prices vary so much between different studios, freelance animators, and production teams. Knowing the factors that impact pricing will help you make smarter investment decisions and avoid overpaying—or underpaying—for your explainer video.

1. The Complexity of Your Story and Script

One of the biggest drivers of production cost is the complexity of the story you’re telling. Simple, straightforward scripts that explain a single product feature or service can be animated quickly and affordably. But if your explainer video includes multiple product lines, technical demonstrations, or complex storytelling elements, the production rate will increase.

More complexity often means:

• More scenes or transitions
• More voiceover and sound design work
• Additional custom illustrations or character designs
• Extended animation timelines

When budgeting, think about whether you can simplify your narrative without losing clarity. A focused, well-written 60-second video often outperforms a lengthy, detail-heavy one—and costs significantly less.

2. Visual Style and Animation Technique

The artistic style you choose has a direct impact on your explainer video rate. For instance:

• Whiteboard animations are often the most affordable, ranging from $1,000–$3,000 per minute, depending on the level of customization.
• 2D animated explainer videos typically fall between $3,000–$7,000 per minute.
• Motion graphics and character-based animations cost more due to additional design time.
• 3D animated explainer videos are the most expensive, often exceeding $10,000 per minute, depending on the modeling, lighting, and rendering quality.

A helpful way to control cost is to discuss “style tiers” with your production partner. You may find a middle ground where you achieve a professional look while keeping your explainer video rates within budget.

3. Experience Level of the Production Team

Just like in any creative industry, experience affects pricing. A junior freelancer may quote $1,000 for an animated video, while a top-tier agency could charge $10,000 or more for the same runtime.

What’s the difference?

• A professional studio will have a refined production pipeline, ensuring consistent quality and smooth communication.
• Experienced producers include script consulting, brand strategy, and marketing insight within the quoted rate.
• Less experienced freelancers may underbid but require more direction or deliver inconsistent results.

If your explainer video is part of a large marketing campaign, investing in an experienced team is almost always worth the higher rate.

Hidden Costs to Watch Out For in Explainer Video Production

Even when you have a clear quote, some hidden costs can appear during production if you’re not careful. To avoid budget creep, make sure you ask about these potential fees before signing a contract:

1. Revisions beyond the included limit: Some producers charge for extra revisions after the first or second round.
2. Broadcast and licensing fees: Using stock footage, soundtracks, or voiceovers may require additional broadcast rights.
3. Rush delivery animation: Tight deadlines often mean overtime for the animation team, increasing the total rate.
4. Source file access: Some studios charge extra if you want the editable source files for future use.

When comparing explainer video rates, make sure you’re comparing all-inclusive quotes. A seemingly cheap option can end up costing more once these hidden expenses are added.

Regional Cost Comparison for Explainer Video Rates

Where your animation team is located can dramatically influence production rates. Here’s a general overview of what you can expect across different regions in 2026:

• United States & Canada: $3,000–$10,000 per minute (high-quality custom work)
• Western Europe (UK, Germany, France): $2,500–$8,000 per minute
• Eastern Europe (Poland, Ukraine, Serbia): $1,000–$4,000 per minute
• Asia (India, Philippines, Indonesia): $500–$3,000 per minute
• Australia & New Zealand: $2,000–$7,000 per minute

Many companies choose a hybrid model—hiring creative direction from a U.S. or European agency while outsourcing animation to a lower-cost region. This can help reduce overall explainer video rates while maintaining high quality.

Understanding the ROI of Explainer Videos

One of the best ways to evaluate whether your explainer video rate is “worth it” is to calculate your return on investment (ROI). Explainer videos are proven to boost engagement, conversion rates, and brand recall—but the real value depends on how effectively you use them.

Companies that integrate explainer videos into their sales pages or ad campaigns often see:

• Increased conversion rates (20–80% improvement in some studies)
• Higher dwell time on websites
• Lower bounce rates
• Better retention of complex information

If your video helps close just a few additional sales each month, it can pay for itself within weeks. Instead of viewing the rate as an expense, think of it as a marketing asset that delivers measurable long-term value.

How to Choose the Right Explainer Video Rate for Your Goals

When selecting a production partner, you don’t necessarily need the cheapest or most expensive option. You need the right fit for your business goals. Here’s a quick framework:

1. Define your objective. Are you trying to build brand awareness, explain a complex concept, or drive conversions?
2. Set your budget range early. This will help producers suggest realistic solutions.
3. Review portfolios carefully. Focus on animation quality, storytelling, and pacing.
4. Ask about included services. Make sure scriptwriting, revisions, and voiceover are clearly outlined.
5. Request a timeline estimate. Faster delivery usually means higher rates.

Choosing a provider who clearly explains how their pricing works—and backs it up with real examples—will save you time and money in the long run.

Trends Impacting Explainer Video Rates in 2026

The animation and marketing industries continue to evolve, which means the cost structure for explainer videos is changing too. Some key trends include:

• AI-assisted animation: Tools that automate lip-syncing, background generation, and scene transitions are helping studios reduce production time.
• Personalized explainer videos: Dynamic, data-driven animations that change per viewer are becoming more common but also increase production costs.
• Interactive explainers: Adding clickable or branching elements can make your video more engaging but requires additional coding and design time.
• Sustainable production: Studios using eco-friendly rendering methods or carbon-neutral workflows may charge a premium for environmentally conscious clients.

Keeping an eye on these developments can help you understand why explainer video rates fluctuate and how to plan for future projects.

Benefits of working with an animated video agency

 

Script writing + story telling skills

There’s a good chance you’re a great writer and story teller – or maybe there’s someone at your company who is. Creating your own script and storyboard can help you save money on your production budget. But when you’re looking to create an emotional or creative animated video, we recommend partnering up and collaborating with your animated video agency to help craft the narrative and visuals for your story.

Animated video agencies have worked on hundreds or thousands of animated video projects and they know what works and what doesn’t when using animation as a medium to tell a story. They are able to see the whole production process in their heads and know how to take a sentence from your script and turn it into a key moment in your animated video.

Illustrators that know how to create art for animation

It’s also possible you or someone you know is a talented illustrator. Sometimes it’s possible to work with outside animation artists to create a custom animated video. However, most artists don’t know how to make art that is designed to be animated. Trying to animate art that wasn’t properly created for animation can end up taking more time and money to finish the project. Hiring an animated video agency avoids this issue because their illustration teams know how to design art that is ready to be animated.

Efficient production process

Animated video agencies know how to plan and manage their projects so that your content gets produced on time. Some people try to save money on their animated video by producing it themselves. Usually this results in longer production timelines and rework because they don’t know how to properly manage an animated video project. Hiring an animated video agency will ensure your project is produced as efficiently as possible.

Promotion help

It’s not just about creating the video – it’s about how you plan to use it. Many people that create animated videos just post them on their homepage, include the video in an email blast, and call it a day.

If you really want your animated video to deliver on the business objectives it was designed to support, you’re going to need to do more to promote your video. This includes things like using your video for SEO to get search engine users to your site and paid media campaigns to get your animated video in front of your target audience. Animated video agencies regularly offer these services to their clients and can help you promote your animated video once production wraps up.

Video optimization

Did you just post your video and think you were done? Think again! Animated agencies know the playbook to optimize the performance of your video when it goes online. The agency you work with to create your video can help you get your animated video(s) to rank in search engines. They can also help you optimize your video so that more people click play, more people watch your video to the end and more people engage with your CTA (call to action) at the end of your video.

How to work with an animated video agency

Now that you know where to find an animated video agency for your project, here’s an overview of the production process so that you have an idea of what’s involved at every stage of production:

Questionnaire

Production kicks off with a questionnaire to better understand your project and goals. This is also the time you want to articulate what key talking points need to be included in your video. It’s also helpful to include information about your target audience. This way, your animation studio will know how to present the narrative in your animated video so that it speaks to your target audience in the way they’re used to communicating.

Script

Your animated video agency will review your answers to the questionnaire and use that information to create the first draft of your script. If you love the script as-is, mark it as approved so production can continue forward. Otherwise, share your revision notes with your animation studio and they will incorporate your edits and send you a 2nd draft for you to review.

Storyboard

The storyboard is like the blueprint for your animated video. Animation studios create storyboards for animated videos because they act as instructions for the illustrators and animators so they know what they are supposed to create. It’s also important for you to sign off and approve all the details that are included in the storyboard. If you love the storyboard as-is, approve it for production. Otherwise, share detailed feedback with your animated video agency. You want all the ideas in your storyboard to delight your target audience and now is the time to figure out what those visual ideas are going to be. Be sure to include include enough detailed information so that the illustrators and animators don’t need to halt production to ask any questions about what they are supposed to be making.

VoiceOver

Now that your script and storyboard are locked in, your animated video agency can help record the voiceover for your video. They’ll start by recording auditions from several voiceover artists. You will get a chance to review them and select your favorite narrator(s). Then, they’ll get the full voiceover recorded. You will get an opportunity to review it and request edits before approving the recording for production.

Soundtrack

Your animated video agency will also select some soundtracks that will enhance the presentation of your video. Let them know which soundtrack you like best so they can acquire the rights to use the music in your video. If you can’t decide which soundtrack you like best, let the animation studio know and they can help you preview the options when the first draft of your animated video is ready to review.

Illustrations

Creating the art for your animated video starts with making concept art. Concept art is developed so that the client can review and refine an example of the visual style for their animated video before the animated video agency creates all the illustrations for your video. The art director will review your branding and style references. Then they will take a key scene from your video and use it to develop one or more pieces of concept art.

Let the art team know which style you like best and if you want them to make any changes to your favorite visual style.

Once the concept art is approved, it’s time to create all the illustrations. You will get an opportunity to review the art and request edits before approving it for production.

Animation

Now that everything has been signed off (script, storyboard, voiceover, soundtrack & illustrations), it’s time to animate your video! Animation takes about one week for each 60 seconds of content your animation agency is making.

When the first draft of your animated video is ready, review it with your internal team and members of your target audience (if available). Collect everyone’s feedback and send it to your animated video agency so they can incorporate your edits and render the final draft of your video.

Production Deep Dive

For a deeper dive on the production process and to learn how long each stage of the production process takes, check out this companion article:

What does it cost to work with an animated video agency

Animated video agencies are more expensive to work with than freelancers. They’re usually set up with larger teams that can take on larger projects (+5 minutes long). As such, expect to spend a minimum of several thousand dollars to create a 60 second custom animated video.

You can request access Video Igniter’s newest price sheet here.

How long does it take an animated video agency to create a video?

Depends on the length and style of your animated video. A 1-2 minute 2D animated video can be produced in 3-8 weeks. 3D animated videos take 2-4x as much time to produce. If you’re making a video over 5 minutes long, get in touch with your animated video agency to figure out how to get your animated video produced on time.

Talk with your animated video agency to see how long it will take to produce your video.

Use stock assets

Your video doesn’t need to be 100% custom made. Sometimes stock assets can be used to slightly decrease your visual production budget. You could use:

• text
• stock images
• stock videos
• clip art
• pre-made 3D models
• icons

Cheap (or free) clip art, icons, fonts, stock images and videos are available on sites like: Mixkit, TheNounProject, Google Font Library and Envato Elements.

Understanding the Role of an Animated Video Agency in Modern Marketing

Animated video production has become one of the most powerful tools in modern digital marketing. A professional animated video agency doesn’t just create visuals—it helps brands translate complex ideas into engaging, easy-to-understand stories. Whether it’s an explainer video, a product demo, or a brand awareness campaign, agencies that specialize in animated video production know how to connect creativity with measurable business goals.

Unlike freelancers or generalist production companies, animated video agencies are built around a full-stack creative process. They bring together writers, designers, illustrators, animators, producers, and marketing strategists who collaborate to make your message clear, memorable, and visually distinct. This team-based approach ensures every element of the animation—from script to motion design—serves a strategic purpose.

By investing in professional animated video production, companies can boost audience engagement, improve online visibility, and generate more qualified leads. Search engines also favor video content, so optimized animated videos can help your website rank higher on Google and YouTube for relevant keywords.

Types of Animated Video Production Services Offered by Agencies

A top-tier animated video agency typically offers a variety of animated video production services tailored to different marketing goals. These may include:

• Explainer Videos: Perfect for startups and tech companies that need to simplify complex products or services.
• Product Videos: Highlight features, benefits, and use cases in a visually engaging way.
• Animated Commercials: Ideal for advertising campaigns on TV, YouTube, or social media.
• Corporate Videos: Communicate brand values, internal messages, or training content.
• Educational Videos: Used by eLearning platforms and nonprofits to teach or inform.
• Social Media Animations: Short-form animations designed to capture attention quickly on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
• Animated Video Series: Multi-episode campaigns that tell a larger brand story over time.

When choosing an agency, it’s essential to confirm that their animated video production capabilities align with your marketing goals. Some agencies specialize in one style—such as motion graphics or 3D animation—while others can execute multiple formats depending on your needs.

The Strategic Benefits of Animated Video Production

While animation is often seen as a creative art form, professional animated video production is highly strategic. Here’s how it can help your brand grow:

1. Better Brand Recall: Viewers retain up to 95% of a message when they watch it in a video, compared to only 10% when reading text. Animation helps ensure your brand story sticks.
2. Increased Conversion Rates: Studies show that adding an animated video to your landing page can boost conversions by 80% or more.
3. Scalability: Once created, an animated video can be repurposed for multiple platforms—social ads, email campaigns, trade shows, and more.
4. Global Appeal: Animation transcends language and culture, making it easier to communicate your message internationally.
5. Long-Term Value: Unlike live-action videos that can age quickly, animated videos stay relevant longer with simple updates to text or graphics.

By incorporating animated video production into your marketing strategy, your brand can achieve both creative impact and consistent ROI.

How Animated Video Agencies Manage Large-Scale Production

For companies producing multiple videos or a large campaign, an animated video agency provides essential project management structure. Agencies use specialized production pipelines that break down complex projects into manageable phases: concepting, scripting, storyboarding, design, animation, and quality control.

A dedicated animation project manager ensures that deadlines, revisions, and creative feedback are handled efficiently. This not only helps maintain quality control but also keeps costs predictable. Agencies often use collaborative software—like Frame.io, Trello, or Notion—to centralize feedback and streamline communication between clients and the production team.

When you’re comparing animated video production companies, ask about their project management process. A well-organized workflow is often what separates professional results from mediocre ones.

Choosing Between 2D and 3D Animated Video Production

One of the first creative decisions you’ll make with your animated video agency is whether to produce your video in 2D or 3D. Each has unique benefits:

• 2D Animation: Uses flat illustrations and motion graphics. It’s more cost-effective and ideal for explainer videos, social media ads, and educational content.
• 3D Animation: Offers realistic depth, movement, and lighting. It’s better suited for product demos, architectural visualizations, and cinematic brand stories.

A hybrid approach—combining 2D and 3D animation—is becoming increasingly popular in modern animated video production, giving brands the best of both worlds: affordability, creativity, and visual sophistication.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Working With An Animated Video Agency

Even with the best intentions, many businesses make simple mistakes that slow down production or weaken the final video. Here are a few to watch out for:

• Skipping the Strategy Stage: Jumping straight into animation without a clear purpose can lead to off-message videos.
• Changing the Script Mid-Production: Altering your script after the storyboard phase can add unnecessary delays and costs.
• Ignoring Brand Consistency: Make sure your animated video production aligns with your brand’s colors, tone, and messaging.
• Neglecting Call-to-Action Clarity: Every animated video should clearly direct viewers to the next step—subscribe, visit, buy, or learn more.

Working with a professional animated video agency helps prevent these pitfalls by guiding you through each stage of production with experience and precision.

Final Thoughts: Why Partnering With an Animated Video Agency Matters

In today’s digital-first world, animated video production is more than just a creative asset—it’s a competitive advantage. The best animated video agencies don’t just make things move; they make ideas resonate. They blend artistry, marketing strategy, and storytelling to help brands of all sizes stand out and succeed online.

Whether you need a 15-second social ad or a full-length animated explainer, a skilled animated video agency like Video Igniter can bring your vision to life—on time, on brand, and optimized for performance.

If you want to learn how to syndicate your animated video to get more eyeballs on it, this resource breaks down the different platforms you can use. We’ll explain which platforms are best for different use cases. We’ll talk about different tools that you can use to help automate the syndication of your animated videos.

Why syndicate your animated videos?

It’s not just about racking up the most views for your videos. It’s about getting the right views on your videos. If you run a waste management plant, Snapchat is not the right platform for you.

Syndicating your videos increases the odds that the right people will see your video and get intrigued enough to check out your website and your social media. If you just post your video on your website and your email list, you’re only reaching people who already know what you do.

When you syndicate your animated videos to video hosting sites like YouTube and Vimeo, you increase the odds of the platform recommending your videos to other people interested what you’re talking about.

When you syndicate your animated videos to social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, SnapChat, Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin, you increase the odds of people outside your network seeing your content and sharing it to dramatically increase the number of people exposed to your marketing content.

We recommend syndicating your animated videos to video hosting sites and social media platforms to maximize your total potential reach. But don’t use a shotgun approach and post on every service. Focus your efforts on the social media apps and video hosting sites that your target audience actually watches.

How to syndicate animated videos online

 

Manual Syndication

You can syndicate your animated videos by manually uploading them to the various video hosting and social media sites out there. But that takes up a lot of time. In addition to uploading the file, you also need to:

• Pick out or upload a thumbnail
• Add a description
• Research and add hash tags
• (optional) Add subtitles.

Automated Syndication

It takes a lot of time to manually add all that content when you’re individually uploading your animated videos to different sites and apps. In order to get around this, you can use software tools to upload your animated videos once and select which sites you want to post the videos to. You can schedule multiple videos to get posted at different days and times and you can fill in the description and hashtags once and have them applied to all your posts.

Partnership Syndication

One of the best forms of syndication is a partnership you have with another publication that caters to your target market. Publications are always looking for fresh visual content. If you produce educational content that isn’t overtly a sales pitch in disguise, sites are more likely to be interested in regularly posting your content. Reach out to digital publications, connect with their editors and let them know what unique perspectives and expertise you can share with their audience through syndicating your animated videos on their website.

Advanced Strategies to Syndicate Animated Video Content Effectively

When you syndicate animated video content, the goal isn’t just to upload your video everywhere—it’s to create a coordinated publishing strategy that amplifies reach, engagement, and conversions. Successful syndication requires consistency, analytics, and strategic repurposing. Here are some next-level strategies to help your business syndicate animated videos more effectively.

1. Develop a Cross-Platform Syndication Plan

Before you syndicate animated video content, define your distribution strategy across multiple channels. Every platform has a unique audience and algorithm, so tailor your message accordingly. For example, you might post the full version of your animated video on YouTube, a 30-second teaser on Instagram Reels, and a silent, captioned version on LinkedIn.

Cross-platform syndication helps build a consistent brand story while maximizing impressions across different viewer demographics. When planning your syndication strategy, consider these three things:

• Format: Resize your video for vertical or horizontal playback.
• Timing: Post during each platform’s peak engagement times.
• Tone: Adjust captions or titles to match the platform’s culture (e.g., professional for LinkedIn, conversational for TikTok).

2. Repurpose and Repackage Your Animated Videos

One of the smartest ways to syndicate animated videos is by repurposing your content. Instead of simply reposting the same video, break it into bite-sized clips, GIFs, or motion graphics to extend its reach.

Here are creative ways to repurpose your animated video content:

• Cut your 2-minute explainer video into five 20-second social clips.
• Create looped GIFs of key visuals for Twitter and email campaigns.
• Add subtitles and upload short clips as YouTube Shorts or TikTok videos.
• Turn a series of animated videos into a compilation or educational playlist.
• Extract still frames from your animation to use in blog headers, thumbnails, or social posts.

Repurposing ensures your animated content continues generating value across multiple marketing touchpoints without needing to start from scratch.

Syndicate Animated Video Content for SEO Benefits

Video syndication isn’t only about social media reach—it also strengthens your brand’s search visibility. When you syndicate animated videos to multiple sites with backlinks to your website, you increase your domain authority and improve SEO rankings.

Optimize Each Syndicated Post for Search Engines

When uploading your video, make sure to:

• Use keyword-rich titles and descriptions – include your main keywords in the title and description.
• Include transcripts or captions to help search engines index your video.
• Add UTM tracking links in your video description so you can monitor which syndication sources drive the most traffic.
• Create custom thumbnails that visually reinforce your brand.
• Add call-to-action overlays linking to your landing pages or demo requests.

Even though each platform hosts your video, those metadata details create SEO signals that point back to your brand.

Timing and Frequency: When to Syndicate Animated Videos

Another overlooked factor in syndication success is timing. Different platforms have different peak engagement hours and frequency thresholds. Posting too often can lead to diminishing returns, while posting too little reduces visibility.

As a general rule:

• YouTube: 1–2 uploads per week is optimal for consistent growth.
• LinkedIn: Post 2–3 times per week during weekday business hours.
• Instagram Reels & TikTok: Daily or every other day maintains high algorithmic momentum.
• Twitter: Syndicate short animated clips 3–5 times per week with varied captions or hashtags.

Use built-in analytics or tools like Buffer and Hootsuite to schedule and test different posting times. Then, analyze engagement patterns and refine your schedule accordingly.

Tracking the Results of Your Animated Video Syndication

If you syndicate animated video content but don’t track the outcomes, you’re missing out on valuable insights. Analytics help you identify which platforms perform best so you can prioritize your efforts.

Key metrics to track include:

• Impressions & views: Measure reach across platforms.
• Engagement rate: Track likes, comments, and shares.
• View duration: See how long people watch before dropping off.
• Referral traffic: Use UTM links to see how many visitors come to your site from each platform.
• Conversion rate: Determine how many viewers complete desired actions like signing up or requesting a quote.

Tools like YouTube Studio, Meta Business Suite, and LinkedIn Analytics provide detailed insights into audience behavior. Combine that with Google Analytics to connect viewership data to website conversions for a complete performance picture.

Collaborate With Partners to Syndicate Animated Video Content

Collaboration is a powerful way to syndicate animated videos beyond your own channels. Partner with businesses, influencers, or publishers that share your target audience.

For example, a financial software company might team up with an accounting education site to syndicate animated explainer videos about money management. In exchange, both parties gain exposure to new audiences.

Partnership syndication can include:

• Guest content exchanges: Publish your video on their platform and feature their video on yours.
• Influencer reposting: Work with creators who share your video with their followers.
• Joint campaigns: Produce a co-branded animated video that benefits both brands.

These partnerships expand your reach while establishing credibility through trusted associations.

How to Build a Sustainable Syndication Workflow

To consistently syndicate animated videos at scale, build a repeatable workflow that keeps your content pipeline moving.

1. Create a syndication checklist for every video release.
2. Set up scheduling templates in your automation tools for each platform.
3. Maintain a content library with various video formats (square, vertical, horizontal) for quick uploads.
4. Use AI-powered tagging tools to generate relevant hashtags and SEO descriptions automatically.
5. Regularly audit your syndicated channels to remove outdated or duplicate uploads.

A sustainable workflow ensures you don’t just syndicate animated video content once—you maintain a long-term presence across all relevant channels.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When You Syndicate Animated Videos

Even experienced marketers make mistakes when syndicating animated video content. Avoid these pitfalls to maximize your results:

• Posting without context: Always add captions or short descriptions to explain your video’s value.
• Ignoring platform-specific requirements: Each site has its own ideal dimensions, lengths, and compression settings.
• Failing to engage: Don’t just post and disappear—reply to comments and interact with your audience.
• Neglecting analytics: Without tracking, you won’t know which syndication efforts are worth repeating.
• Duplicate metadata: Avoid using the same exact title and description on every platform; minor variations help each post rank better.

By addressing these common issues, your syndicated animated videos will perform better and stay relevant longer.

Final Thoughts: Turning Syndicated Animated Videos Into Long-Term Assets

When you syndicate animated videos strategically, they become more than just marketing content—they become long-term digital assets that continue to attract, educate, and convert viewers over time.

A single animated video can generate thousands of views, backlinks, and leads if it’s properly optimized and syndicated across the right platforms. Whether you handle the process manually or use automation tools, consistent syndication helps your brand stay visible in a crowded digital landscape.

If you’re ready to expand your reach and need help producing high-quality animated videos for syndication, Video Igniter can help. Our team can script, design, and animate videos specifically tailored for cross-platform distribution—making it easier for your business to syndicate animated video content that gets results.

How To Make A 2D Animation With Video Igniter’s 2D Animator?

1). Questionnaire

Once you’ve selected a 2D animator for your project and paid to start production, the animator will send you a questionnaire. The questionnaire helps the animator collect information about the animated video you want them to create.

2). Script

The 2D animator will review your questionnaire and draft the script for your video. You will get an opportunity to review the script and request edits before approving it for production.

Deep Dive: Check out our animated video asset review guide for tips on how to review your script and other assets for your animated video.

3). Storyboard

Next, the animator will create the storyboard. The storyboard contains instructions for the illustration and animation team so they know what to create for each part of your script. You will get an opportunity to review the storyboard and request revisions before moving on to the next stage of production.

Insider Tip: Video Igniter’s simple and standard animation projects include unlimited revisions which means we will continue to work with you to revise your storyboard until you love it!

4). VoiceOver

After your storyboard is approved, the 2d animator will help you audition voiceover talent for your video. If you love one of the voiceover auditions, the animator will procure and license the full recording for your animated video. You will get an opportunity to review the full recording and request edits before approving the voiceover for production.

5). Soundtrack

Your 2D animator will also help identify soundtracks for your animated video that will enhance the presentation of your animation. The animator will help secure the broadcast license for the soundtrack you approve for your animated video.

6). Illustrations

Illustrations are a two phase production process. First, the artist will create custom concept art based on a scene from your storyboard, your branding and style references.

After you send your feedback to the art team, the illustrators will create all the custom art for your video. You will get an opportunity to review and approve all the art for your video before it moves into production.

7). Animation

Now that your storyboard, voiceover and illustrations are approved, it’s time for the 2D animator to really get to work. It will take them about a week to animate a 60 second video. When the first draft is ready, we recommend reviewing it with your internal team and members of your target audience (if available). Collect everyone’s feedback and send it back to the 2D animator to complete the final draft.

2D Animation Deep Dive

How Long Does It Take A Video Animator To Create A 2D Animation?

The 2D animated video production process takes about 3-6 weeks to produce a 1-2 minute animated video.

What Does A 2D Animator Actually Do?

When you hire a 2D animator, you’re not just hiring someone to make things move. A professional animator wears many creative hats throughout the production process. Their job is to bring ideas, characters, and stories to life through motion — whether for a commercial, explainer video, training content, or entertainment.

A 2D animator is often responsible for:

• Interpreting the script and storyboard into visual sequences
• Creating motion that feels natural and expressive
• Ensuring visual consistency across every scene
• Collaborating with voiceover artists, illustrators, and sound designers
• Meeting deadlines while maintaining a high level of quality

They also play a key role in maintaining the rhythm and emotional tone of a video. Good animation isn’t just about movement — it’s about timing, pacing, and storytelling.

Key Skills To Look For In A 2D Animator

When you’re evaluating a 2D animator for hire, it’s helpful to understand the core skills that separate a good animator from a great one:

1. Strong Drawing and Design Skills

Even if the project uses digital tools, strong drawing fundamentals help an animator create smoother, more expressive movement. Look for someone with a solid understanding of anatomy, perspective, and gesture.

2. Animation Principles Mastery

The best animators have a firm grasp of classic principles like squash and stretch, anticipation, and timing. These techniques help animations look polished, fluid, and believable.

3. Storytelling Ability

A 2D animator isn’t just a technician — they’re a storyteller. They should be able to translate complex ideas into engaging sequences that communicate clearly to your audience.

4. Software Proficiency

Most professional animators are proficient in industry-standard tools like Adobe After Effects, Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Animate, or TVPaint. Some projects may also involve vector illustration or motion graphics tools.

5. Communication & Collaboration

Since animation involves multiple creative contributors, it’s important to hire someone who can take feedback constructively and work well in a collaborative environment.

Tools Commonly Used By Professional 2D Animators

The tools a 2D animator uses can influence the style, workflow, and turnaround time of your project. Here are a few of the most popular software platforms used in professional production:

• Adobe After Effects: Ideal for motion graphics, compositing, and explainer videos.
• Toon Boom Harmony: A favorite for high-quality frame-by-frame character animation.
• Adobe Animate: Widely used for vector-based animation and web content.
• TVPaint: Known for its hand-drawn animation capabilities.
• Procreate + compositing tools: Great for concept art and hybrid workflows.

When hiring, it can be helpful to ask your animator what tools they use and why. This can give you insight into their technical approach and the visual quality you can expect.

How To Collaborate Effectively With A 2D Animator

Clear communication can make the difference between a smooth production and a stressful one. Here are some best practices for working effectively with your 2D animator:

1. Start With A Clear Creative Brief
   Define your goals, tone, target audience, and key messages. A strong brief ensures your animator understands your vision from the start.
2. Establish A Feedback Process
   Animation is iterative. Plan specific review checkpoints (e.g., script, storyboard, illustrations, animation draft) and provide consolidated feedback to avoid confusion or delays.
3. Use References Wisely
   Sharing reference videos or animation styles can help your animator visualize what you want — and avoid unnecessary revisions later.
4. Respect The Production Timeline
   Good animation takes time. Rush projects are possible, but giving your animator adequate time ensures better results and fewer errors.
5. Encourage Creative Input
   Your animator brings valuable expertise. Be open to their ideas — they may find creative ways to elevate your concept beyond what you initially imagined.

Different Types of 2D Animators You Can Hire

Not all 2D animators specialize in the same type of work. Knowing the distinctions can help you find the right fit for your project:

• Character Animators: Focus on bringing characters to life with personality, emotion, and movement.
• Motion Graphics Animators: Specialize in clean, professional transitions, typography, icons, and abstract visuals.
• Storyboard Artists / Pre-Production Animators: Help plan and visualize your scenes before production begins.
• Cel Animators: Create frame-by-frame hand-drawn animation for a more traditional look.
• Compositing Animators: Focus on assembling animated elements into a cohesive, polished final piece.

How To Find The Right 2D Animator For Your Project

There are many platforms where you can hire a 2D animator, but finding the right one depends on your timeline, budget, and creative goals.

• If you need high-end, polished work with a structured process, hiring through a professional animation studio can be a great fit.
• If you’re on a smaller budget, freelance platforms can connect you with talented individuals worldwide.
• If you want to save time vetting and managing multiple contractors, working with a platform like Video Igniter can simplify everything by handling the entire production process for you.

When reviewing potential animators, focus on:

• The quality and style of their portfolio
• Client testimonials and reliability
• Communication skills and professionalism
• Their ability to meet deadlines without sacrificing quality

How A 2D Animator Fits Into The Bigger Production Pipeline

Many people think of a 2D animator as someone who just “makes things move.” In reality, they’re part of a larger team that includes scriptwriters, illustrators, designers, editors, and producers.

Here’s how a 2D animator typically fits into the workflow:

1. Pre-Production: Script and storyboard are developed.
2. Illustration & Asset Creation: Visual elements are designed.
3. Animation: The animator brings the assets to life.
4. Compositing & Sound Design: Everything is layered together with voiceover, music, and sound effects.
5. Revisions & Delivery: The final video is polished and approved.

This collaborative pipeline is what turns a static idea into a compelling animated story.

Future Trends In 2D Animation

The role of the 2D animator is evolving quickly as new tools and technologies emerge. While the fundamentals of animation remain timeless, these trends are shaping the future of the industry:

• Hybrid Animation Styles: Mixing 2D and 3D elements for richer storytelling.
• AI-Assisted Workflows: Tools that speed up in-betweening, lip sync, and cleanup without replacing creative direction.
• Interactive Animation: Animations designed for immersive experiences, AR, and interactive media.
• Global Collaboration: More teams are working remotely, opening access to a global pool of animation talent.
• Short-Form Branded Content: Animators are increasingly creating fast-turnaround micro-videos for platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

Staying aware of these trends can help you make smarter decisions about your project and hire animators who are ahead of the curve.

Why Hiring A 2D Animator Is A Smart Investment

A skilled 2D animator can help you explain complex ideas, enhance your marketing strategy, and make your content more memorable. Unlike live-action videos, 2D animation gives you full creative control over every element — which makes it ideal for brands, startups, educators, and storytellers alike.

• It’s cost-effective compared to high-end live-action shoots.
• It’s easy to localize for different audiences.
• It has a longer shelf life since animated content doesn’t age as fast as filmed footage.
• It can be adapted and repurposed into multiple content formats.

If you want your message to stand out, working with the right animator can make a measurable difference in how your audience perceives and remembers your brand.
