Why have an animation made?

The process of having an animation created usually begins with an idea. With our knowledge and experience, we help clients transform their ideas into beautiful animations. We always do this in close consultation with the client, ensuring that the idea is well understood and executed correctly.

Before we start designing the animation, we work on the script. We make sure the script is clear and conveys the right message. Only when we are satisfied with the script do we begin 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 created and always work closely with the client to ensure that the final product meets all expectations.

Having an animation created can also be an excellent tool for attracting your target audience's attention. In a world where we are increasingly confronted with an abundance of information, it can be challenging to hold your target audience's attention. With the help of an animation, you can grab your target audience's attention and inform them about your company and what you have to offer in a fun and distinctive way. By having an animation created, you can both inform your target audience and keep their attention.

How much does an animation cost?

It's a question we often hear. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. It depends on several factors.

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

Another essential factor that affects the price of having an animation created is the length of the animation. A short pre-roll, for example, is cheaper than an extensive animation lasting several minutes. If you are curious about the costs of having an animation created, don't hesitate to contact us. We are happy to provide a non-binding quote.

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.rice.

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 created can be a significant investment, but we can assure you that it is worth the effort. A well-made animation can be a powerful tool for conveying your message and strengthening your brand.

How long does it take to have an animation made?

When we create an animation, quality is our top priority. Each animation is unique, so it may take some time to complete. We usually deliver an animation within 2 to 4 weeks. During the production process, we maintain regular contact with the client to keep them informed of the progress and involve them in the process.

We are based 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 created is an investment in the future of your business. With a well-made animation, you can clearly convey your message to your target audience and distinguish yourself from other companies. Moreover, you can use an animation in various ways, such as in marketing campaigns or on your website. By investing in an animation, you invest in the growth of your business.

Before we can begin creating illustrations and animations, it is essential that the concept is fully developed. This means that the script must be well-written, and the information must be understandable for the target audience.

During the creation process, we test, experiment, and design extensively. A good design often requires multiple versions to achieve the best result. This way, we ensure that we always deliver the best designs to our clients. Afterward, we start creating illustrations and move on to animating. We also pay attention to aspects such as voice-over, music, sound design, and editing during the production process.

Below is an overview of our steps in the creation process.

Briefing

STEP 1: briefing

When having an animation created, it is essential to listen carefully to the client's wishes and ideas to deliver the best results. In the first step of the creation process, the briefing, we discuss all the project's wishes. This is the moment when the client can share all their ideas and inspiration with us.

During the briefing, we look at what is needed to bring the idea to life and discuss the animation's goals and target audience. We examine the style and atmosphere that best fits 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 clarified the project's purpose and shared our ideas, we move on to the concept phase. We create a concept and script based on the client's wishes and discuss it to ensure 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 the scenes of the animation and shows exactly what happens in each scene. This is an important step in the creation process, as it helps ensure everyone is on the same page and knows what is expected of the animation. Based on the storyboard, we can also discuss any adjustments and changes before proceeding to the next steps.

Style frames and design

STEP 3: Style frames and design

The design and illustration step is an important stage in having an animation created. During this step, we create style frames that show precisely what the scenes will look like. This phase can vary per project. For example, some animations may require character designs, while others may require more attention to text formatting and other details.

Regardless of the animation style, we ensure everyone is satisfied with the design and illustrations before moving on to animating. We work closely with the client and make any changes and adjustments before starting the next step. This way, we can ensure that the final result meets all your wishes.

Animation

STEP 4: Animation

In the animation creation phase, the concept comes to life and the magic begins. This is the most time-consuming stage of the entire process, and the exact duration it takes to complete an animation depends on the length, complexity, and style of the project. Some animations can take several weeks, while others can be completed more quickly.

During this phase, we work with specialists who have experience in animating and ensure that each 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 final result meets all expectations and desires.

Sound design and music

STEP 5: Sound design and music

Music and sound design are important elements that can elevate an animation to a higher level. At the beginning of a project, we discuss where we will source the music. Perhaps there is already a piece of music available that can be used, but if that is not the case, we don't have to worry. We collaborate with fantastic sound designers and music producers who can provide the best music.

If you prefer to use an existing track, we can also choose what works best for the project. Whatever the choice, we help you select the best music for your animation project. This way, you can be confident that the animation looks and sounds professional.

Delivery

STEP 6: Delivery

Once the project is complete, the client receives the exported animation according to the technical requirements. This can be a video or animation file in a specific format, or another format needed to display the animation in a particular way.

Now the animation can be shown to the whole world, and we can celebrate the final result together. This is an important moment, as it is the culmination 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 client is satisfied with it.
