How to make a corporate animation with Video Igniter

Video Igniter will guide you through these steps to turn your idea into a custom designed corporate animation:

1). Get In Touch

To get the production process started, we want to learn about the corporate animation you want to create. We’ll ask you about who your target audience is, what you want to communicate in your animation and what you want to show in your animation.

Then, we’ll develop a budget and a production plan to make your corporate animation.

When you’re ready to move forward, you will receive a production contract to sign and an invoice for 50% of your production budget.

Send us a message or schedule a call to discuss your animation with our team.

2). Script

Now that production is underway, it’s time to develop the script for your corporate animation. If our writers need to learn more about your talking points and the overall communication goals for your corporate animation, we may schedule a brief call.

When the first draft of the script is ready, you will receive a link to a digital copy of your script which you can review and share with your team. Everyone can add their comments directly to the digital document.

When all the revision notes are in, our writers will revise your script and share the 2nd draft with you to review and approve. If further revisions are needed, our writers will continue to work with you to polish your script.

3). Storyboard

Next, we turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard functions like a blueprint for our illustrators and animators. It tells our team exactly what to create for every scene in your corporate animation.

You will receive a digital copy of the storyboard to share and review with your team. Each page contains a sentence from your script, a rough sketch of the scene and instructions that explain how things will move on screen. If there are any parts you want to change, you can leave comments directly on each slide.

Video Igniter’s storyboard artists will integrate your revisions and share the 2nd draft of the storyboard with you to review and approve.

4). VoiceOver

After the storyboard is approved, we’ll send you voiceover auditions to listen to. Let us know which person is your favorite and we’ll hire them to record the full narration for your corporate animation. You will get a chance to listen to the full recording and request edits, if needed.

5). Music

You will also receive a handful of soundtrack selections to listen to. Let us know which one is your favorite and we’ll acquire the appropriate license(s) to use the music in your corporate animation.

6). Art

Next, it’s time to create the art. Video Igniter’s art director will start by creating a few pieces of concept art for your animation, based of your corporate brand guidelines. When you review the concept art, share your honest feedback with the art director so they understand what you like and dislike about each concept.

After the concept art is perfected, we’ll create all of the art for your corporate animation. You will get an opportunity to review all of the illustrations and request edits, if needed.

7). Animation

Now that everything is approved, we can animate your video!

You will receive a digital copy of the animation to download and share with your team for feedback. We also recommend circulating the animation among members of your target audience to get their feedback as well. After everyone has had a chance to share their thoughts, send everyone’s feedback to us. We’ll integrate your revisions and render out the final draft of your corporate animation.

What does it cost to make a corporate animation with Video Igniter?

corporate animation production cost

For 2D animation, most corporate animations cost between $1,500-$7,500 for a 60-second video. If you want to make a fancier looking 2D animation that’s created using hand drawn animation techniques, your budget will more likely be in the $7,500-$15,000/min range.

3D corporate animations tend to cost between $5,000-$25,000 for each 60-seconds of video we create.

For detailed pricing information, you can request access to Video Igniter’s pricing page.

Alternately, you can send us a message to get a quote or schedule a call to speak with our production team about your corporate animation.

How long does it take to make a corporate animation?

corporate animation production timeline

The normal production timeline for a 60-second 2D corporate animation is about 4-5 weeks. If your company likes to do multiple rounds of revisions or needs to circulate content internally with legal and brand teams, you may want to pad your production timeline by a week or two.

3D animation and hand drawn animation usually take about 6-10 weeks to create 60-seconds worth of animation.

If your animation is longer than a minute, add a week or two for each additional minute of content we create for you.

To start making your animation, send us a message or schedule a call with our team. We’ll ask you about the animation you want to make and help you figure out the budget and timeline to make your video.

Once we agree to the scope of the project, you will receive a production agreement to sign and an invoice for 50% of your production budget.

2). Script

Now that the production process is underway, it’s time to write the script for your animation.

The script is like the skeleton for your animation. It’s the framework for everything we will communicate in your video and later will become the basis for creating the storyboard.

Our team will spend more time learning what you want to communicate and convey in your animation. Then we’ll develop the first draft of the script. You will receive a digital copy of the script that you can share with your team so everyone can add their feedback about the script.

Our writers will revise your script according to your feedback and then share the 2nd draft for you to review and sign off. If needed, we’ll continue to work with you to revise your script until it’s perfect.

3). Storyboard

Next, we turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard acts like the blueprint for your animation. It explains to the illustrators and animators what they should create for every sentence in your video’s script.

You will receive a digital copy of the storyboard to review with your team so everyone can add their comments. If there are scenes you want us to change, let us know! Now’s the time for us to figure out exactly what you want us to create for every scene.

Our storyboard team will revise your storyboard and continue to collaborate with you to polish it until every scene is perfect.

4). VoiceOver Narration

After the storyboard is approved, you will receive a selection of voiceover auditions to listen to. Let us know which one is your favorite and we’ll hire that person to record the full narration for your video. You will get an opportunity to listen to the recording and request edits (if needed).

5). Music

You will also receive a selection of music options to listen to. Let us know which one is your favorite and we’ll acquire the appropriate licenses so that we can legally use the music when we make your animation.

6). Art

Making the art for a animation happens in two phases:

  • First, we create concept art.
  • Then we make all of the art for your animation.

Video Igniter’s art director will start the process by reviewing your brand guidelines and any style references you shared. Then, the art director will select several scenes from your storyboard and develop multiple pieces of custom concept art.

When you review the concept art, share your honest feedback about what you like and dislike about each visual concept. The art director will work with you polish your favorite concept until it’s perfect.

After the concept art is approved, the art director will oversee a team of illustrators who will make all of the illustrations for your animation. The director will ensure all the art matches the visual style of the concept art. When all of the art is ready, you will get a chance to review all of the images and request edits before we make your animation.

7). Animation

What does it cost to make a animation with Video Igniter?

cost to make a animation

For detailed pricing information, request access to Video Igniter’s pricing page.

The cost to make a animation varies based on a few factors like:

  • How long is the animation you want us to make?
  • What style of animation are we using to make your video?
  • How quickly do you need the final draft of your video?
  • Who is creating the script and storyboard (you or Video Igniter)?

Let’s break this down to give you a better idea of how to estimate the budget for your animation.

What does it cost to make a 2D animation?

Most forms of 2D animation cost between $1,500-$7,500 to make a 60-second animated video. If you want to make a fancier form of animation that’s drawn by hand (aka “cel animation“), your budget will need to be at least 2-3x larger.

What does it cost to make a 3D animation?

Most forms of 3D animation cost between $5,000-$25,000 to make 60-seconds worth of video.

How Can I Make A 3D Video Animation With Video Igniter?

Follow these 8 steps to get your idea turned into a 3D video animation.

1). Contact Us For A Production Quote

3d video animation quote

To get production started, send us a message to get a quote or schedule a call with our production team. We’ll spend some time learning what kind of 3D video animation you want to create.

Once we agree to the scope of the project, you will receive a production agreement to sign and an invoice for the first 50% of your production budget.

2). Script

3d video animation script

Now that production is underway, we will write the first draft of the script for your 3D video animation. You will receive a digital copy of the script to review with your team.

Add your comments directly on the script and let us know when everyone’s feedback is in. We’ll integrate your revisions and share the 2nd draft with you to review and approve.

3). Storyboard

3d video animation storyboard

Next, we turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard is the blueprint for your 3D video animation. It includes instructions for the illustrators and animators so they know what to create for every part of your video’s script.

You will receive a digital copy of the storyboard to review with your team. Add your feedback on the slides you want us to revise and let us know once all the feedback has been added to the storyboard.

Our storyboard artist will update your storyboard and send you the 2nd draft to review and approve.

4). VoiceOver

After the storyboard is approved, you will receive a selection of voiceover auditions to listen to. Let us know which one is your favorite and we’ll hire that person to record the full voiceover narration for your 3D video animation. You will get an opportunity to listen to the full recording and request edits, if needed.

5). Soundtrack

You will also receive a selection of soundtrack options to listen to. Let us know which one is your favorite and we’ll acquire the rights to use the music in your 3D video animation.

6). Concept Art

3d video animation concept art

Video Igniter’s art director will review your style references and brand guidelines. Then, they’ll use that information to create some custom concept art based on scenes from your storyboard.

Give the concepts a thoughtful review and let us know your honest opinion about what you like and dislike about each concept.

We’ll use this information to polish your favorite concept until it’s perfect.

7). 3D Model Design

After the concept is approved, our 3D modeling team will create 3D models for every scene, character and object featured in your 3D animation video.

At first, you will get to review black and white 3D models that look like this:

3d video animation model

We’ll work with you to revise and refine the shape and design of each model until it’s perfect. Then, we’ll add color, textures and shading to every 3D model and give you another opportunity to review them and share your feedback before we animate them.

8). Animation

3d video animation animator

Now that everything is approved, it’s time to make your 3D video animation. It takes about 2 weeks to animate 1 minute of 3D video.

As soon as the first draft is ready, you will receive a link to download a copy of your 3D animation. Share it with your internal team and members of your target audience. Collect everyone’s feedback and send it our way.

Our animators will integrate your revisions and render out the final draft of your 3D video animation.

How Long Does It Take To Make A 3D Video Animation?

how long to make 3d video animation

A 60-second 3D video animation takes about 8-12 weeks to create, depending on the complexity of the animation style.

What Does It Cost To Make A 3D Video Animation?

3d video animation cost

At Video Igniter, most forms of 3D animation cost between $5,000-$25,000 to create each minute of animation.

To put this into perspective, it costs over $100,000,000 to make an animated movie like PIXAR does – which translates to over $1,000,000 to make each minute of the movie..

2). Record The VoiceOver

If you record the voiceover for your 3D video animation, we’ll deduct voiceover recording and licensing costs from your budget. Watch 1:31 in this video to see how you can record professional quality voiceovers at home for free.

3). Use Stock Assets

In some cases, it may be possible to slightly lower your production budget by buying pre-made stock assets, like 3D models of common objects , in lieu of having our 3D modelers create everything from scratch.

5). Start Production ASAP

The easiest thing you can do to save 10% or more off your production budget is to start production on your 3D video animation as soon as possible. Rush delivery is available if you need to speed up the production process to meet your deadline – however, rush delivery can add 10%-25% or more to your production budget. To minimize or avoid paying extra for rush delivery, schedule a call with our production team or request a production quote for your video as soon as possible.

How long does it take to create a 10 second video?

10 second video production timeline

The entire animation production process for a 60-second video takes about 4-6 weeks. Shorter 10 second videos still take a few weeks to make because each deliverable takes at least a day or two to create and review with your team before we can move on to the next stage of production.

In general, a 10 second animated video can be made in about 2-3 weeks.

Need to make your video faster? Video Igniter has a rush delivery production option available.  Schedule a call to discuss rush delivery options for your video.

How much does it cost to create a 10 second video?

10 second video production cost

The answer to this question requires a bit of explanation so bare with us while we go over a few points.

  • 60 seconds of 2D animation costs between $1,500-$7,500 (most folks go with this option).
  • 60 seconds of high end hand drawn animation costs between $7,500-$15,000.
  • 60 seconds of 3D animation costs between $5,000-$20,000.

To get to the price for a 10 second animation, one would assume you could simply divide the 60-second price by 6 to get the rate for a 10 second video.

In reality, the math generally doesn’t work like this for videos below 30 seconds because short videos still require a full production team to get create the video and the budget for a 10 second video usually isn’t enough to cover all of the production costs at the rates detailed above.

10 second video costs

So how do you know what it’ll cost to create a 10 second video? Here are a few options:

  1. If you create 3 videos that are 10 seconds long, the rate will be about the same as creating a 30 second video.
  2. If you want to just create one video that’s 10 seconds long, send us a message to get a quote or schedule a call and we’ll help you calculate the rate for your 10 second video.

Video Igniter’s illustration team creates the art for your animated music videos in two phases.

First, we create concept art. Then, we create all of the illustrations for your animated music videos.

To create the concept art, Video Igniter’s art director will review your visual style references. Then, they will create multiple piece of concept art for your music videos.

After you review the concepts, share your honest feedback with the art director. Let them know what you like and dislike about each visual concept. We’ll use this information to revise and refine your favorite concept until it’s perfect.

Then, the art director will oversee a team of illustrators who will create all of the custom illustrations for your animated music videos.

You will receive a notification when it’s time to review all of the art online. Add your feedback directly on the images you want us to revise and let us know when you’ve finished adding all of your feedback.

Our illustrators will update your art accordingly and notify you when it’s time to review and sign off on the updated illustrations.

5). Animation

Now that everything is approved, it’s time to animate your music videos! Our animators will start by lining up the illustrations so they appear in sync with your music and lyrics. Then, we’ll spend time animating all the motion design that happens in between each illustration.

As soon as the first drafts are ready, you will be notified that it’s time to review your animated music videos.

Give them a detailed review and share your feedback with us. Our animators will integrate your revisions and render out the final drafts of your animated music videos. You will receive a link to download copies of your music videos.

How quickly can I make animated music videos with Video Igniter?

The answer to this question depends on a few factors like:

  • How long are your animated music videos?
  • How complex is the animation style we are using to create your music videos?

It takes about 4-6 weeks to create a 1 minute animated video. A 2D animated video that’s 2-3 minutes long can be produced in 5-10 weeks. 3D animation takes at least 2x as much time to get through the production process.
