2D & 3D
Animation

Animated commercials, explainers, and product stories — designed and produced for ideas that live action can't reach.

Animation for ideas that can't be shot

Some concepts are too abstract, too impossible, or too expensive to put in front of a camera. That's animation's job: making software visible, shrinking a supply chain into thirty seconds, giving a brand a world of its own. We produce 2D and 3D for commercials, launches, explainers, and social — for brands and for agencies.

What we animate

  • Animated commercials — broadcast-ready spots with original design and character work
  • Explainer videos — products and services made clear without the stock-template look
  • 3D product animation — hardware, packaging, and process visualization
  • Mixed media — animation composited into live action through our VFX pipeline
  • Social-first animation — looping, vertical, and platform-native formats

A filmmaker's process, applied to frames

Animation runs like a production here: script, boards, animatic, then animation — with sign-off where changes are cheap instead of where they're painful. Writing comes from our creative team, so animated work gets real storytelling, not just movement.

For type, logos, and brand systems in motion, see motion graphics — the two practices frequently work the same job.

Common questions

What styles of animation do you produce?
2D character and design-driven animation, 3D product and environment work, mixed-media combining live action with animation, and stylized explainer formats. Style follows the idea — we design a look per project rather than forcing work into a house style.
How much does animation cost?
Animation is priced by complexity and runtime more than by shoot days. Simple 2D explainers typically start around $8,000 to $15,000 per minute; premium character animation and 3D work runs higher. We'll give you a fixed quote from a script or brief.
How long does an animated project take?
Plan on four to ten weeks depending on runtime and complexity: design and storyboards first, then animatic, animation, and sound. The animatic stage is where revisions are cheap — our process front-loads decisions there to keep timelines honest.
Can you mix animation with live action?
Yes. Because animation, VFX, and live-action production share one pipeline here, hybrid work — animated characters in shot footage, motion design over live action, animated product sequences inside a commercial — is a natural fit.
