Our typical production process requires 3-4 weeks from start to finish, plus however long it takes to integrate your feedback and changes into the video. Here's an overview of the average timeline for each type of video project:

• 2D Animated Video: 6-8 weeks on average
• 3D Animated Video: 8-10 weeks on average
• Animated Promo Video: 6-8 weeks on average
• Animated Explainer Video: 5-7 weeks on average
• Animated Corporate Video: 4-6 weeks on average

It's important to note that these are estimated timelines and every project is different in terms of how many review rounds are needed, length of the concept development phase, complexity of the edit, and so on – which all have an impact on the overall length of the animation process. Please reach out to us on our Contact Page if you have a specific deadline and we'll get back to you with a custom timeline for your project.

Yes, we've developed an ultra fast 14-21 day animation process for rapid turnaround projects that have an immediate deadline. It's not possible for certain types of projects, such as 3D animation, but if we can use existing animation style guides or animated video templates then we can make it happen.

Keep in mind that super faster delivery times means a lot of overtime and/or weekend hours for our team, which will increase the cost of our services to accommodate the production effort necessary to meet a tight deadline.

We provide everything from customer testimonial videos and TV commercials to explainer videos and training videos and everything in between. Here's a full list of the additional services we provide:

• TV Commercials
• Explainer Videos
• Corporate Videos
• Real Estate Videos
• Product Videos
• Testimonial Videos

Feel free to reach out to us on our Contact Page if your content creation needs are different from what's listed and we'll be happy to get back to you with more options on how we can create videos together.

Our animations are typically managed in the cloud via our Google Workspace Enterprise account, where we store all of your files in neatly organized project folders in Google Drive. However, many of our clients have their own file storage services such as Box, Dropbox, SharePoint, etc. which we can also use to store your files. Let us know if your company has a dedicated file storage service you’d like us to use and we’ll setup our project folders on your platform.

During the project, you can be as hands-on or hands-off as you’d like throughout the video creation process. Many of our clients like us to take as much work off of their plate as possible, and we’re happy to do so. From concepts to scripts to planning and logistics to final deliverables, we can handle everything internally without direction. However, we do encourage your input and operate in a very collaborative way which allows you to provide feedback during each step of the process if you’d like. Or, simply give us instructions at the beginning of the project and sit back and wait until your animated videos are ready for your feedback and approval.

Go to our Quote Page and fill out the details about your animated video. You can also send us an email or give us a call, although the quote form is a great way to provide us with some background information about your needs ahead of time which can help jumpstart the process.

Once we have your info, one of our Executive Producers will reach out to you typically within one hour or less to set up a call to talk about the specific details of your project – the call takes approximately 30 minutes.

This initial call allows us to understand the ideas you have in mind for your project, such as the number of deliverables, intended length(s), and the style you're after. We'll also go through our production process with you and discuss the ballpark costs and turnaround times.

Next, we'll send you a proposal with the full breakdown of your project, the cost of each line item, and a target timeline so you know exactly what to expect. If everything looks good, we'll send you a Statement of Work to sign electronically, at which point we can schedule our kickoff call together to get the project started.

Yes, every digital marketing strategy can benefit significantly from adding multiple videos to the mix, such as short social media cutdowns or alternative cuts.

We offer bulk discounts on projects that have 2 or more videos, so it's a more budget friendly approach. Animations are compelling pieces of content and will help you improve, enhance, and direct the effectiveness of your marketing campaign, and we want to make them as cost effective as possible.

There are 3 stages to creating an animated video: pre-production, production, and post-production. We provide support for all three stages to ensure a successful production process for every one of your promo videos. Here's a quick breakdown of each phase:

1. Pre-Production: This stage involves planning and preparing all the necessary details before filming begins. This includes concept ideation, script writing, storyboarding, casting, location scouting, and scheduling.
2. Production: The second stage is the execution phase where our team starts to animate keyframes and the project starts to come alive. This is when the actual movement of your animated video takes place.
3. Post-Production: The last phase is where all the elements of the video are assembled by the video editor and refined to produce the final version of the project. This includes video editing, sound mixing, adding music, voice-overs, and on-screen text.
