9 Tips To Consider When You Are Choosing An Animation Studio

 

1). Get clear about what you want

Before you start looking for animators for hire, or figuring out how to choose an animation studio that can deliver the work you are looking for, you need to get clear with yourself about what kind of video you want them to make so that you know what factors to prioritize when choosing an animation studio.

Are you making a 1-2 minute video, 5-10 second social media clips, or 22-60+ minute TV episodes? 2D animation or 3D animation? Motion graphics or frame by frame animation? Is your video supposed to educate people? Entertain them? Make them laugh? Close a sale? Animation studios and freelancers usually have a speciality and you should find someone that has a track record of producing the type of results you are looking for.

2). Check out their portfolio

When you’re looking around to hire animators online, take a look at their portfolio to see if they have the artistic and technical capabilities to create work similar to the kind of animation you want. If you find an animator you like, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask if they have any more portfolio examples they can share. Animators often have a private portfolio of examples that their client’s don’t allow them to publicly post online but will allow them to be privately shared with prospective clients.

3). Price

Price is often the driving factor when deciding which 2D animation studio to hire. While there’s a strong temptation to choose the cheapest animator, low cost animators have their drawbacks.  Often times, the work you get for the lowest price doesn’t look as good as the examples in their portfolio. It’s also possible they will charge you extra for revisions and edits that aren’t included in the original budget. Finally, before you hire a video animator or an animation studio, make sure that you understand if you are paying a flat rate for the project or if you are paying for the # of seconds of content being created.

4).  Script & Storyboard Creation

Are you creating the script and/or the storyboard for your animated video? The script and storyboard are essential things animators need to create your video. Unfortunately, not all animators have the storytelling skills to help you create your script and storyboard. Animator’s strengths are usually focused on creating beautiful visuals but they may not be as good when it comes to storytelling or creating unique ways to present your ideas that resonate with your target audience. So, before you hire an animation studio, review some of their existing videos to see if their storytelling keeps your attention. Do they use creative ideas and transitions to keep viewers engaged through the story? Or are they just good at making pretty pictures that move? Either way, make sure you’re clear on whose responsibility it is to turn your idea into a delightful visual story that holds viewers attention.

5). Past Clients & Testimonials

Look at testimonials and reviews before choosing an animation studio.

Look at testimonials and reviews before choosing an animation studio.

While you’re shopping around to hire an animation studio, see if they have experience creating animations in industries similar to yours. That’s usually a good litmus test to see if they have a track record of creating compelling stories for your particular industry. Also, be sure to check to see if they have customer testimonials or reviews you can reference.

6). Production Timeline

How much time do you have for your animators to make your animated video? Animations should never be rushed but it’s also important to balance quality work with impending deadlines. When you’re looking for animators to hire, ask how long it typically takes them to create a 1-2 minute animation. Freelancers are great for short animations with fast turnarounds. Larger more intricate videos need a fully staffed animation studio in order to produce content in a reasonable amount of time.

FYI – Video Igniter offers rush delivery animation to help speed up production for your deadline.

7). Audio

Often overlooked when finding an animator to hire: don’t forget to give a good listen to the audio quality of their videos. How does the voice recording sound – is it clear and does it draw you in? Does it sound like it was recorded with a low quality microphone? Additionally, how does the voiceover blend with the background music? Do the two support each other for a cohesive feeling in the video? Or is one (or both of them) sounding off and distracting from the video’s message?

8). Responsiveness, Communication & Collaboration

If you hire an animator to make a animation online, are you ok collaborating across different timezones? Before you hire an animation studio, make sure that your ability to communicate and collaborate isn’t hindered by timezones or language barriers. Nobody wants to have to get on a call in the middle of the night to talk about production details.

Furthermore, if your project needs to be completed within a short timeframe, are your animators prepared to work late nights and weekends to meet the deadline? You get what you pay for, and low cost production options usually won’t work on the weekends. If your video needs to be made within 2-4 weeks, check to see if the animator you are hiring charges extra for rush delivery.

Before you choose an animation studio, ask them how you will collaborate on the project.

9). Post Production

Post-production is a critical phase where elements like sound design, color correction, and final edits are completed. A studio that offers comprehensive post-production services can enhance the overall quality of your animation and ensure a polished final product.

What happens when your video is done? Does the animation studio just hand you the final draft of the animation and say, “good luck.” Or are they willing to stick around and provide additional support? Need help getting your video hosted online? Translated to other languages? What about making alternate intros and endings that could make more people want to watch your video or contact you when they’re done?

Bonus Tips To Consider When You Are Choosing An Animation Studio

It’s 2025 now and we have a few additional tips for you to look into when you decide which animation studio to hire for your project:

1. Technological Proficiency

If you’re working on a cutting edge animated video project, ensure the studio you hire is able to work with the latest and greatest tools and programs to get the job done. Whether it’s a traditional hand drawn animation, projection mapping animations or an AI generated animation, a studio’s expertise with advanced production technologies plays a crucial role in enhancing both the quality and efficiency of the production process.

technological proficiency

2. Customization and Flexibility

Look for a studio that offers tailored solutions rather than generic templated videos. The animation studio you hire should be able to custom design 100% of your animation so that it aligns with your branding and resonates with your target audience.

customization and flexibility

3. Industry Specialization

Many animation studios specialize in specific types of content – some focus just on 2D animation or 3D animation while others may focus on specific industry verticals. Selecting a studio with production experience that’s relevant for your industry and audience can lead to the creation of a custom animated video that performs better than a video created by a studio that doesn’t have industry-specific expertise.

industry specialization

4. Intellectual Property and Licensing

It’s important to clarify who holds the ownership rights of your animation. It’s often assumed that you own the content once you pay for it but this isn’t always the case with every animation studio.

Ensure you sign a production contract that states you are entitled to full ownership of the content you’re paying to create. It’s also important to ensure that you have proper usage rights for all elements of the video (including the voiceover and music) so that you can legally distribute your animation across all major digital platforms without any legal constraints.

How to make motion graphics and animation with Video Igniter

When you’re ready to start making motion graphics and animation, Video Igniter will guide you through these seven steps to bring your vision to life:

1). Get A Quote

motion graphics and animation quote

Before the production process begins, let’s connect to learn about the motion graphics and animation want us to create. Send us a message with details about your project or schedule a call with our production team.

To help us develop a plan and a budget for your project, we’d like to learn the following types of information:

  • What kind of motion graphics and animation do you want us to create?
  • How long is the project?
  • When do you need the final draft?

The answers to these questions enable us to develop a production plan and budget for your motion graphics and animation. Once we agree to the scope of the project, you will receive a production contract to sign and an invoice for 50% of the production budget.

2). Script

motion graphics and animation script

After we receive your signed contact and the production deposit, Video Igniter’s copywriters will connect with you virtually to ask some questions so they can write the script for your motion graphics and animation.

When the first draft is ready, you will receive a link to view a digital copy of your script. You can add your comments directly on the digital script. We also invite you to circulate the script among your internal team to get their feedback too.

Once all the feedback is in, our writers will revise your script and share the 2nd draft with you to review and approve. If additional edits are needed, we will continue to work with you to revise and polish your storyboard until you love it.

3). Storyboard

motion graphics and animation storyboard

Next, we turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard is the blueprint for your motion graphics and animation. It contains all the instructions the illustrators and animators need to create your motion graphics and animation.

Each page of the script includes:

  • A sentence from your script.
  • A rough sketch of the scene.
  • Bullet point instructions that explain how elements will move in the scene.

You will receive a digital copy of the storyboard that you and your team can add revision requests on. Then, our storyboard artists will revise your storyboard according to your feedback. If the 2nd draft of the storyboard needs more edits, we will continue to work with you to revise and polish your storyboard until it’s perfect.

4). VoiceOver

voiceover

After the storyboard is approved, you will receive a hand picked selection of voiceover auditions for your motion graphics and animation. Give them a listen and let us know which one is your favorite. We will hire that person to record the full voiceover and guide them through the pacing and energy they should use. You will get an opportunity to listen to the full recording and request edits (if needed) before we use it to make your motion graphics and animation.

5). Soundtrack

soundtrack

Video Igniter’s audio team will select a handful of soundtrack options for your project. Give them a listen and let us know which one is your favorite. We’ll take care of licensing the music so we can legally use it when we make your motion graphics and animation.

6). Illustrations

Video Igniter’s art director will review your brand guidelines and any style references you may have shared for your project. Then, they will design several pieces of concept art based on key scenes from your storyboard.

motion graphics and animation concept art

When you review the concept art, share your honest feedback with the art director. Let them know what you like and don’t like about each concept. This way, the art director knows what to focus on when they revise and polish your concept art.

After the concept art gets your sign off, the art director will oversee the creation of the rest of the illustrations for your motion graphics and animation. You will get an opportunity to review all of the art and request edits before we animate your content.

7). Animation

motion graphics and animation animator

Now that everything is approved, it’s time to create your motion graphics and animation.

The animators will sync up the illustrations with the timing of the voiceover. Then, they will add motion to each scene, according to the instructions in the storyboard.

When the first draft is ready, you will receive a link to download a watermarked copy of your motion graphics and animation. Share the video with your internal team and members of your target audience and collect their feedback. Once you’ve organized all of the revision notes, send them to us and our animators will revise your video accordingly.

After the animation and motion graphics get your sign off, our audio team will add subtle sound effects to your video. They will also balance and master the audio levels between the voiceover, soundtrack and sound effects so everything sounds loud and clear.

You will be able to download the final, unwatermarked version of your motion graphics and animation after you pay the final invoice for your project.

One of the animated explainer video services we offer is script writing. Video Igniter’s professional copywriters will meet with you to learn about what you want to explain in your video before they draft your video’s script. Our writers will ask questions like:

  • What do you want to communicate in your animated explainer video?
  • Who is the audience for your video?
  • What challenges does your audience experience?
  • What do you want people to do when they’re done watching your explainer video?

These types of questions help our writers develop a script that conveys your key messages to your audience in a way that resonates with them.

You will receive a digital copy of the script to review with your team. We invite you to add your feedback directly on the script. Then, our writers will revise and polish your script and share the 2nd draft with you to review and approve. If additional edits are needed, we will continue to work with you to revise and polish your script until you love it.

3). Storyboard

Video Igniter’s animated explainer video services also include storyboard creation. The storyboard is the blueprint for your animated explainer video. It provides instructions for the illustrators and animators so they know what to create for each part of your video.

After the script is approved for your video, our storyboard artists will turn your script into a storyboard. Each page of the storyboard includes:

  • A sentence from your script.
  • A mockup or rough sketch of each scene.
  • Bullet point instructions that explain how elements will move in each scene.

When the storyboard is ready, you will receive a digital copy to review with your team. You can add your feedback directly on each slide of the storyboard. Then, our storyboard artists will revise the storyboard and integrate your revisions.

You will receive the 2nd draft of the storyboard to review and approve with your team. If additional edits are needed, we will continue to work with you to polish and perfect your storyboard until you love it.

How To Make A 3D Animation With Video Igniter

Video Igniter will guide you through these 8 steps to turn your ideas into a custom designed 3D animation.

1). Get A Quote

3d animation quote

Before production begins, our team will work with you virtually to learn about the 3D animation you want to create. To get in touch with our team, send us a message or schedule a call. Our team will ask you questions like:

  • What kind of 3D animation do you want us to create?
  • How will the 3D animation be used?
  • What do you want us to show in your 3D animation?
  • When do you need the final draft completed by?

After we learn about the 3D animation you want us to create, our team will develop a production proposal and budget for your project. Once we agree to the scope and budget for the project, you will receive a production contract to sign and an invoice for the first 50% of your production budget.

2). Script

3d animation script

Now that production is underway, Video Igniter’s writers will develop the script for your 3D animation. Our writers will connect with you virtually to learn the following types of information:

  • Who is your target audience?
  • What problems do they experience?
  • What key messages do you want to include in your video?
  • What do you want people to do when they’re done watching your 3D animation?

These questions enable our writers to develop a script for your 3D animation that conveys your key talking points to your target audience in a way that resonates with them and inspires them to take action when they’re done watching your video.

When the first draft of your script is ready, you will receive a digital copy to review with your team. Have your team add their comments directly on the script document and let us know when all of the feedback has been submitted. Then, our writers will revise the script and share the 2nd draft with you to review and approve.

If additional edits are needed, our writers will continue to work with you to revise and polish your script until you love it.

3). Storyboard

3d animation storyboard

Next, we turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard functions like a blueprint for your 3D animation; it is a set of instructions that the animators and artists use so they know what to create for all of the scenes in your 3D animation. Each page of the storyboard includes:

  • A sentence from your script.
  • A sketch or mockup of the scene.
  • Bullet point instructions that describe the motion that will happen in the scene.

When you review the first draft of the storyboard, help us understand if we’ve included all of the important visual details that need to be shown in your 3D animation. If there is something we left out, let us know so we can add documentation; otherwise the animators and 3D modelers won’t know to add those specific details when they create your 3D animation.

After all of your feedback is sent to us, our storyboard artists will integrate your feedback and then share the 2nd draft of your storyboard for you to review and approve. If additional edits are needed, let us know and we’ll continue to work with you revise your storyboard until everything looks just right!

4). VoiceOver

voiceover

Video Igniter’s audio team will hand pick a selection of voiceover artists for your 3D animation. Give the auditions a listen and let us know which option is your favorite. We’ll hire the voiceover artist and coach them through the voiceover recording to ensure they use the proper tone & energy for the recording. When the full voiceover is ready, you will get an opportunity to listen to the recording and request edits before we use the audio to create your video.

5). Soundtrack

soundtrack

You will also receive a selection of soundtrack options for your 3D animation. Give them a listen and let us know which option is your favorite. We’ll acquire the appropriate license(s) so we can legally use the music when we create your 3D animation.

6). Concept Art

3d animation concept art

Before we create all of the 3D models for your 3D animation, our art director will create multiple pieces of concept art. Video Igniter’s art director will review your brand guidelines and any style references you may have shared. Then, the art director will design multiple pieces of concept art based off scenes from your storyboard.

When you review the concept art, share your honest feedback. Let us know what you like and dislike about each concept. This way, the art director can revise and polish your favorite concept until it’s perfect.

7). Create 3D Models

After the concept art is approved, Video Igniter’s 3D modelers will create 3D models for every object, character and piece of scenery that will be featured in your 3D animation. At first, all of the 3D models will look black and white, like this:

3d animation model

When you review the models the first time, the goal is to help us refine the shape and form of each object. If we left out physical details, let us know so we can add them now.

After the 3D models are approved, our art team will add color, lighting and shading to every 3D model. You will get an opportunity to review the colorized models and request edits before we animate your video.

8). Animation

3d animation animator

Now that everything is approved, we can create your 3D animation!

Video Igniter’s animators will organize all of the 3D models to create each scene. Then, they will line up the scenes with the timing of the voiceover so everything appears in sync with the narration. Then, the animators will apply animation to the moving elements so your animation comes to life.

When the first draft is ready, you will receive a link to download a watermarked copy of your 3D animation. Share the video with your internal team and members of your target audience to get a wide range of feedback for your 3D animation. After you consolidate the feedback, send it to us so we can revise your 3D animation. After the edits are integrated, you will receive the 2nd draft of your 3D animation to review and approve.

Once the 3D animation gets your approval, our audio team will spend an extra day or two adding subtle sound effects to your 3D animation. We will also master the audio levels between the voiceover, soundtrack and sound effects so everything sounds loud and clear.

You will be able to download the final, unwatermarked version of your 3D animation after you pay the final invoice for your project.

How much does it cost to make a 3D animation?

3d animation cost

Most 3D animation projects cost between $5,000-$25,000 to create each minute of video content. High end forms of 3D animation can easily cost $50,000 or more to create each minute of animation.

To put this into context, a 90 minute PIXAR animated film costs +$100,000,000 to make. This breaks down to a cost of over $1,000,000 to create each minute of video. Thankfully, independent animation companies like Video Igniter are much more affordable to work with ;)

3d animation production timeline

3D animation takes a lot more time to create compared to 2D animation. If you want us to create a 60-second 3D animation, we recommend starting production at least 8-12 weeks before your due date. Rush delivery is available if you need to speed up the production process but it will increase your production cost.

How much does it cost to make animated educational videos?

animated educational videos cost

2D animated educational videos typically cost between $1,750-$7,500 to create each minute of animation – depending on the complexity and style of animation we create. Typically, animated educational videos are on the lower end of this scale because companies generally don’t pay extra for high end design when their goal is to create content that is highly educational.

If you opt to use 3D animation for your videos, your budget might be 2x-4x larger, depending on the complexity of the animation you want us to create.

7). Animation

frame by frame animation

After everything gets your approval, it’s time to create your frame by frame animation.

Video Igniter’s animators will line up all of the illustrations so they are synced up with the timing of the voiceover. Then, they will individually draw all of the animation frames that happen in between the key frames. This is what makes your animation come to life!

This process can take several weeks, depending on the complexity of your animation.

When the first draft is ready, you will receive a link to download a watermarked copy of your frame by frame animation. We invite you to share the animation with your team and members of your target audience so that you get a wide range of feedback. After you’ve organized all the feedback, send it our way, and we will integrate your revisions.

Once you approve the animation, our sound team will take an additional day or two to add subtle sound effects and to balance the audio levels between the voiceover soundtrack and sound effects so that everything sounds loud and clear.

You will be able to download the unwatermarked version of your frame by frame animation after you pay the final invoice for your project.

What makes frame by frame animation different from other forms of animation?

frame by frame animation example

Frame by frame animation is the original form of animation. Traditionally, frame by frame animation was created by individually drawing each frame of the animation (12-30 frames per second of video).

Animators still draw each frame individually to create ultra smooth looking movements – but now a days, animators do most of the drawing on computers and tablets instead of paper. This provides many technological and production advantages which help animators do a better job in less time (compared to drawing on paper).

Frame by frame animation is also referred to as:

Cel Animation

Traditional Animation

Hand Drawn Animation

How much does it cost to make a frame by frame animation?

frame by frame animation cost

Frame by frame projects tend to start at a rate of $6,000-$7,500/minute of content but they’re more likely to be north of $10,000 per minute.

To put this into context, the animation cost for an episode of The Simpsons ranges between $10,000-$25,000 for each minute of the show. This doesn’t factor in the costs associated with writing the show or paying the voice actors.

Here are 4 ways you can get a quote for your frame by frame animation:

2). Schedule a call with our production team.

3). Request access to our pricing page.

4). Fill out this digital questionnaire about your video.

How long does it take to create a frame by frame animation?

frame by frame animation production timeline

Frame by frame animation requires more time and attention to create compared to standard 2D computer animation. In general, we recommend you allocate 8-12 weeks to go through the full production process for a 60-second animation.

If you need to speed up the production process, send us a message and ask us about rush delivery.

1). Get A Quote

To get things started, send us a message or schedule a call with our team to get a quote for your 3D computer animation. Our team will meet with you virtually or send you questions so we can learn:

  • What type of animation you want us to create for you?
  • How long the animation will be.
  • When do you need the final animation?
  • What do you want to show in your 3D computer animation?

Armed with this information, our team will develop a production proposal to create your video. Once we agree to the scope of the project, you will receive an invoice for 50% of your production budget along with a production agreement to sign.

2). Script

3d computer animation script

After we receive your signed production agreement and the production deposit, we’ll begin work writing the script for your 3D computer animation. Our team will meet with you virtually or send you a list of questions via email so we can learn:

  • Who your target audience is.
  • What their problem(s) are.
  • Your key talking points.
  • What you want viewers to do when they’re done watching your animation.

With this information in hand, we’ll develop the first draft of the script for your 3D computer animation. When it’s ready, you will receive a link to review a digital copy of the script with your team. You can add your feedback directly on the script document.

Our writers will revise your script according to the feedback and then share the 2nd draft of the script with you to review and approve. If additional edits are needed, we’ll continue to work with you to revise and polish your script until you love it.

3). Storyboard

3d computer animation storyboard

Next, we turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard functions like the blueprint for your 3D computer animation. Each page includes:

  • A sentence from your script.
  • A rough sketch or mockup of the scene.
  • Instructions that explain how elements will move in the scene.

You will receive a digital copy of the storyboard to review with your team. While you review the storyboard, help us make sure we’ve included all of the important visual details that the illustrators need to include. If there are specific visual elements that are important to show, please let us know so we can include documentation for those details in the storyboard.

After we receive your feedback, we’ll integrate your revisions and then share the 2nd draft of the storyboard with you to review and approve. If additional edits are needed, we’ll continue to work with you to revise and polish your storyboard until it’s perfect.

4). VoiceOver

voiceover

You will receive a selection of voiceover auditions for your 3D computer animation. Give them a listen and let us know which one is your favorite. We’ll hire that person to record the full narration for your animation. We’ll also make sure we properly license the recording so we can legally use it when we make your 3D computer animation. When the full narration is ready, you will get an opportunity to listen to the recording and request edits before we use it to animate your video.

5). Soundtrack

soundtrack

You will also receive a selection of soundtrack options for your 3D computer animation. Give them a listen and let us know which one is your favorite. We’ll acquire the appropriate usage rights so we can legally use the music when we make your animation.

6). Concept Art

3d computer animation concept art

Video Igniter’s art director will review your brand guidelines and any style references you shared for your animation. Then, the art director will create multiple pieces of concept art for your 3D computer animation, based off key scenes from your storyboard.

When you review the concept art, share your honest feedback with the art director. Let them know what you like and dislike about each concept. This way, they can polish and perfect your favorite visual concept.

7). 3D Models

After the concept art is approved, our art and modeling teams will create 3D models for everything in your storyboard so it matches the style of the concept art.

At first, all of the models will look like this:

3d computer animation model

When you review the black and white models, provide feedback to help us refine the shape and form of the objects, characters and scenery we create for your 3D computer animation. After we lock in the shape of the models, we will add color, texture and lighting to each piece. You will get another opportunity at this point to request edits to the models before we use them to animate your video.

8). Animation

Now that everything is approved, it’s time to create your 3D computer animation!

3d computer animation

Video Igniter’s animators will assemble all of the 3D models to create each scene in your video. Then, the animators will line up the scenes with the voiceover so everything appears in sync with one another. Finally, the animators will apply motion design to bring everything to life. Depending on the complexity of your 3D computer animation, it can take between 1-4 weeks to create the first draft of your video.

When the first draft is ready, you will receive a link to download a watermarked copy of your 3D computer animation. Share the video with your team and members of your target audience.

Collect everyone’s feedback and send it our way. Then, we’ll integrate all of your revisions and render out the 2nd draft of your 3D computer animation.

After you approve the final draft of the animation, our audio team will add subtle sound effects and then balance the audio levels between the soundtrack, sound effects and voiceover so everything sounds loud and clear.

You will get to download the final unwatermarked version of your 3D computer animation after you pay the final invoice for your project.

How much does it cost to make a 3D computer animation?

3d computer animation cost

If you were to hire an independent animation studio like Video Igniter to create your 3D computer animation, your production budget will range between $5,000-$50,000+ to create each minute of video content.

To put this into perspective, a 90-minute PIXAR animated film costs $100,000,000 to produce – which means each minute of 3D computer animation costs them over $1,000,000 to create.

Here are 4 ways you can get a quote for your 3D computer animation:

1). Send us a message with details about your project.

2). Schedule a call to speak with our production team.

2). Script

With the contract signed and the production deposit paid, it’s time to start developing the script for your animated business video. Our writers will meet with you virtually to learn:

  • Who your target audience is.
  • The problems they experience.
  • What key messages you want to communicate to them.
  • And what you want them to do when they’re done watching your animated business video.

Our writers will use this information to develop the first draft of the script for your business video. When the first draft is ready, you will receive a digital copy of the script to review with your team.

We invite your team to add their comments directly on the script document. After all the feedback is in, we’ll integrate your revisions and develop the 2nd draft for your animation. If any further revisions are needed, our writers will continue to work with you to revise your script until you love it.

3). Storyboard

Next, we turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard functions like a blueprint for your animated business video. Each page of the storyboard includes:

  • A sentence from your script.
  • A rough sketch or mock up of the scene.
  • Instructions that explain how things will move in the scene.

After we create the first draft of your storyboard, we will send you a digital copy of the document to review with your team. Give it a thorough review with your team to ensure we captured all of the important details that need to be shown in your video. If we need to add more visual details, let us know so we can properly document them in the storyboard.

Once we get your feedback, our storyboard artists will revise the storyboard and share the 2nd draft with you to review and approve. If additional edits are needed, we’ll continue to work with you to revise and polish your storyboard until it’s perfect.

4). VoiceOver

You will also receive a selection of soundtrack options for your animated business video. Give them a listen and let us know which one has the right tone and feeling for your brand. We’ll take care of acquiring the appropriate license(s) so we can legally use the music in your animated business video.

6). Illustrations

Time to create the art for your video! This process happens in two phases. First, we’ll create concept art to develop the visual style and then we’ll create all of the illustrations so they match the style of the concept art.

animated business video concept art

Video Igniter’s art director will review your brand guidelines and any style references you may have shared. Then, they’ll select a few key scenes from your storyboard and use them to create multiple pieces of concept art for your animated business video.

When you review the visual concepts, be sure to share your honest feedback with the art director. Let the art director know what you like and dislike about each visual concept. This way, the art director can polish and perfect your favorite visual concept.

After the concept art is locked in, the art director will lead the team of illustrators to create all of the art for your animated business video so that it looks like the approved concept art. You will get an opportunity to review all of the art and request revisions before we animate your video.

7). Animation

Now that everything is approved, it’s time to animate your video!

The animator will line up all of the illustrations so they sync up with the voiceover narration. Then, they’ll apply animation to all of the art according to the instructions we documented in the storyboard. The process takes about 1 week for each minute of video we create for you.

When the first draft is ready, you will receive a link to download a copy of your animated business video. Share the video with your team and members of your target audience. After you collect everyone’s feedback, send it our way. We’ll integrate your revisions and render out the 2nd draft of your animation.

Once we get your approval on the animation, our sound team will take an extra day or two to add subtle sound effects to the video. They will also master and balance the audio levels between the sound effects, voiceover and soundtrack so that everything sounds loud and clear.

You will be able to download the final, unwatermarked version of your animated business video after you pay the final invoice for your project budget.

What does it cost to make an animated business video?

If you want us to use 2D animation to create your animated business video, your budget will likely end up costing between $1,750-$7,500 for each minute of video we create. 3D animation and high end forms of 2D animation can end up costing 2x-4x more than standard 2D animation.
