Why have an animation made?

The process of creating an animation usually starts with an idea. With our knowledge and experience we help clients to convert their idea into a beautiful animation. We always do this in close consultation with the client, so that we are sure that the idea is well understood and implemented correctly.

Before we start designing the animation, we first work on the script. We make sure that the script is clear and conveys the right message. Only when we are satisfied with the script do we start designing the animation. We do all this from our centrally located studio in Utrecht.

We are very careful in the process of having an animation made and always work closely with the client to ensure that the end product meets all expectations.

Having an animation made can also be a good tool to attract the attention of your target group. In a world where we are increasingly confronted with information overload, it can be difficult to hold the attention of your target audience. With the help of an animation you can draw the attention of your target group and inform them about your company and what you have to offer in a fun and distinctive way. By having animations made, you can both inform your target group and hold their attention.

How much does an animation cost?

It's a question we often hear. Unfortunately, there is no unequivocal answer to this question. It depends on several factors.

First, the price per animation can vary based on the style, complexity, amount of characters and scenes. But rest assured, to give our customers a clear picture of the costs, we always set a fixed price in advance, so that there are no unpleasant surprises.

Another important factor that influences the price of an animation is the length of the animation. For example, a short Pre-roll is cheaper than an extensive animation of several minutes. If you are curious about the costs of having an animation made, do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to prepare a non-binding offer for you.

Furthermore, the price can also depend on the techniques and effects used in the animation. For example, if 3D animation is used or if there are complicated movements and transitions in the animation. The number of changes and adjustments requested during the production process can also affect the price.

When determining the price of an animation, it is also important to take into account the delivery of the animation. For example, the price may depend on the number of formats in which the animation must be delivered, whether sound is part of the animation and whether subtitles are required. All these factors should be considered when preparing the quote.

We understand that having an animation made can be an important investment, but we can assure you that it is worth it. After all, a well-crafted animation can be a powerful tool to get your message across and strengthen your brand.

How long does it take to have an animation made?

When we make an animation, quality is our top priority. Each animation is unique, so it may take us some time to finish. We usually deliver an animation within 2 to 4 weeks. During the production process we have regular contact moments with the customer, so that they stay informed of the progress and feel involved in the process.

We are located in Utrecht and are happy to help you create an animation. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or are interested in our services.

Having an animation made is an investment in the future of your company. With a well-made animation you can clearly convey your message to your target group and distinguish yourself from other companies. Moreover, you can use an animation in different ways, such as in marketing campaigns or on your website. By investing in an animation, you invest in the growth of your company.

Before we can start making illustrations and animations, it is important that the concept is fully worked out. This means that the script must be well written and the information must be understandable to the target audience.

During the creation process we test, experiment and design a lot. A good design often needs several versions to achieve the best result. This way we ensure that we can always deliver the best designs to our customers. Then we will start creating illustrations and move on to animating. We also pay attention to things like voice-over, music, sound design and editing during the production process.

Briefing

STEP 1: briefing

When having an animation made, it is important to listen carefully to the wishes and ideas of the client, so that we can deliver the best results. In the first step of the creation process, the briefing, we discuss all the wishes for the project. This is the moment when the client can share all his or her ideas and inspiration with us.

During the briefing, we look at what is needed to bring the idea to life and discuss the goals and target group of the animation. We look at the style and atmosphere that best suits the project and discuss the possibilities and limitations. Based on this, we can get a good idea of what is needed to make the project a success.

Concept, script and storyboard

STEP 2: Concept, script and storyboard

After we have clear the goal of the project and have shared our ideas, we will get started with the concept phase. We create a concept and script based on the wishes of the client and discuss this to make sure everyone is satisfied. Then we transform the words from the script into sketches and create a storyboard.

The storyboard gives a clear picture of what the animation will look like. It contains all scenes of the animation and shows exactly what happens in each scene. This is an important step in the creation process as it helps to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that we know exactly what is expected of the animation. Based on the storyboard, we can also discuss any adjustments and changes before moving on to the next steps.

Style frames and design

STEP 3: Style frames and design

The step of design and illustration is an important phase in having an animation made. During this step we create style frames, which show exactly how the scenes will look. This phase can differ per project. For example, some animations may require you to create character designs, while others may require more attention to text formatting and other details.

Regardless of the style of animation, we make sure everyone is happy with the design and artwork before moving forward with the animation. We work closely with the client and make any changes and adjustments before moving on to the next step. This way we can ensure that the end result meets all your wishes.

Animation

STEP 4: Animation

In the stage of having an animation made, the concept comes to life and the magic begins. This is the most time consuming phase of the entire process and the exact time it takes to complete an animation depends on the length, complexity and style of the project. With some animations this can take several weeks, while other projects can be completed more quickly.

During this phase we work with specialists who have experience in animating and who ensure that every scene comes to life. We pay attention to every detail to ensure that the animation runs smoothly and that the characters and environments look realistic. This is an important step to ensure that the end result meets all wishes and expectations.

Sound design and music

STEP 5: Sound design and music

Music and sound design are important elements that can take an animation to a higher level. At the start of a project we already discuss where we are going to get the music from. Perhaps there is already a piece of music available that can be used, but if not, then don't worry. We work together with fantastic sound designers and music producers who can provide the best music.

If you prefer to use an existing number, we can also choose what best suits the project. Whatever the choice, we help you choose the best music for an animation. This way you can be sure that the animation looks and sounds professional.

Delivery

STEP 6: Delivery

When the project is finished, the customer will receive the exported animation based on the technical requirements. This can be a video or animation file in a specific format, or any other format required to display the animation in a certain way.

Now the animation can be shown to the whole world and we can celebrate the end result together. This is an important moment as it is the result of a lot of work and effort from both the client and our team. We are proud of what we have created and hope that the animation will be a success and that the customer will be satisfied with it.
