Our animation production process

 

Concept Development & Script

The first step in our process is creating the general concept and script for your animation. Once you’ve chosen your preferred animation style, we schedule a ‘Magic Meeting’. During this collaborative session, you share everything about your product, service, or idea, and we bring your concept to life.

Together, we develop a clear and compelling script with tailored voice-over lines, perfectly aligned with your goals, preferences, and budget. By the end of the meeting, you’ll have a first glimpse of your animation through a visualized storyboard of the initial scenes.

Storyboard & Visual Design

In this step, we create the initial storyboard sketches and draft the accompanying voice-over lines. These elements are then developed into final designs, including characters, symbols, and icons. We present this work to you as a ‘Visual Design’.

This document showcases every shot, its corresponding lines, and a visual explanation, giving you a clear preview of the animation’s final look. You’ll have the opportunity to provide feedback, and once approved, we move forward to the actual production phase.

Bringing Your Animation to Life

Now it’s time for your animation to come alive! A few days after you approve the Visual Design, we’ll deliver the first version of the animation. This initial version includes the voice-over but excludes sound effects.

After reviewing your feedback, we’ll refine the animation and add dynamic sound effects to create the final version. Once you approve this polished version, we’ll move forward to complete the production process.

Perfecting the Sound Design

Great sound is what truly brings your animation to life. With over 15 years of experience, our sound designer ensures your video has the ultimate tone of voice, perfectly tailored to your organization.

  • Crystal-clear voice-over: Professional post-production for impeccable voice quality.
  • Custom music and sound: Choose from various styles, or let us create music that perfectly matches your animation.
  • Seamless integration: Every sound effect and music choice enhances the emotion and impact of your video.

Maximizing your animation’s impact

Once your animation is complete, there’s no need to repeatedly explain your product, idea, or service - it’s all done for you! But are you making the most of your animation? Are you only reaching your current network, or are you extending your message to potential clients?

In this final step of the production process, we help you elevate your animation to the next level. With our video marketing service, we ensure your animation is effectively distributed across the internet. By combining tried-and-true techniques with innovative strategies, we enhance your brand awareness and accelerate business growth.

Why have a 2D animation made?

Whether it’s a business presentation, a product video, an educational animation or anything else, 2D animation is a powerful tool to make your message stand out. Animation offers the freedom to create a world in which anything is possible. From abstract concepts to complicated processes, with 2D animation we bring your story to life with intricate detail.

Choosing 2D animation comes with numerous advantages. It simplifies complex ideas and concepts, allows for easy customization, and boosts viewer engagement. It’s an effective way to communicate your message to your target audience.

Frequently Asked Questions

In 2D animations, the images have no depth (unlike 3D) and often resemble traditional cartoons. A distinctive feature of 2D animation is that objects move only horizontally and vertically, creating a unique look and feel for your video. Need some inspiration? Check out our portfolio, to see what we’ve already created and spark ideas for your own video.

We stand for high quality at a competitive price. To ensure your animation meets your exact needs, you can create a custom package with us, which means you also get a custom price. Would you like to hear a concrete amount? You can!
 
Give us a call and receive a price based on your preferences within 5 minutes. Our experts are also happy to advise you about the possibilities within your budget. Or, fill out our contact form. Within an hour you’ll hear from us. 
The ideal length of your animation depends on how you want to distribute the video and for what purpose. For instance, YouTube ads are generally shorter than an explainer video with a complex message. In general, we advise clients to keep 2D explainer animations to a maximum of 75 seconds for optimal engagement and clarity.
Not necessarily. A high-quality 2D animation can be just as effective as a 3D animation. While 3D elements add depth and can create a unique atmosphere, the key is delivering your message to the right audience at the right time. Therefore, video marketing is crucial for the success of your animation. Even the best video won’t have an impact if it doesn’t reach your intended viewers. The combination of a great video and effective marketing is what truly makes the difference!

When creating an animation, we typically follow these production timelines from the initial meeting to completion:

  • Standard explainer animation: 4 working weeks
  • Customized explainer animation: 4-8 working weeks
The audience for your animation can vary widely, and it’s crucial to identify them! 2D animation is known for its lightness, informality, professionalism, forward-thinking nature, and ability to evoke emotions. If these characteristics align with your target audience, we have a match!
 
The style of your animation also depends on your target audience. Need advice on this? Feel free to contact our 2D animation studio for a no-obligation consultation.
Our specialties extend beyond creating animations and shooting high-quality film material.
