Animation Company

An animation studio produces moving image content from scratch: 2D and 3D animation, motion graphics, character work, explainer films and title sequences. The studios here are ranked by reel quality, client mix and award track record. Most blend disciplines; specialist studios exist for stop motion, traditional 2D, and real-time / game-engine work.

How to choose

Watch the reel before the pitch.

Animation is reel-led: watch 5-10 pieces in your target style before shortlisting. Check whether the studio uses in-house animators or freelance network (affects consistency), what stage they own (storyboard through to final or full pre-production through delivery), and whether they have AI/automation in the pipeline for revisions.

Frequently asked questions

01What does an animation studio do?

Animation studios create moving image content - 2D and 3D character animation, motion graphics, explainer films, title sequences, broadcast idents, mobile and app animations, and short-form social content. Most handle the full pipeline from storyboard and animatic through to final compositing and delivery.

02How much does an animation video cost?

A 60-second 2D explainer typically costs $8,000-$25,000. A 30-second motion graphics piece $15,000-$50,000. A 60-90 second character animation short $40,000-$200,000+. Live-action hybrid and broadcast-quality work scales further.

03How long does animation take?

A 60-second motion graphics piece runs 4-6 weeks. A 90-second character animation short 8-16 weeks. Episodic and longform animation scales to months or years. Real-time / game-engine pipelines can compress significantly.
