How we work
Engage your audience with captivating animations
Animations are a great way to simplify complex messages, avoid ‘death by PowerPoint’ and make your brand stand out in a busy social feed. So what’s the process?
The briefing
The first step in the process is to define the key messages that you’re looking to share as well as the context in which the animation will be used.
Building a storyboard
Before we create your animation we’ll present a brief visual storyboard to explain the steps/scenes that we’ll be looking to include for you to review.
Creating & exporting your animation
Our animations are created using Adobe After Effects. Once completed we can export your animation in a variety of formats including MP4 and animated GIF.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a custom animation cost?
The fees for an animation project vary depending on your chosen style, the complexity of the storyboard and the intended final usage. Please get in touch for an estimate and we’ll be happy to discuss ballparks.
How many revisions are included?
Up to three rounds of revisions as standard within our design contracts. Additional changes after this point are evaluated and estimated based on their complexity (we will never charge you extra without permission).
How long does the design process take?
Timeframes can vary from project to project but as a rough guide the process typically takes between 2-4 weeks from brief to completion depending on the complexity of the animation.
I am outside of the UK, how would this work?
No problem, we have many overseas clients and meet regularly via video call. All estimates and bills are provided in GBP and can be paid via bank transfer or credit card.
How do you bill for a project?
After a design contract has been agreed we will send over a deposit invoice for between 25-50% of the project fee (subject to requirements). The remaining balance will be billed upon completion with our standard 30 day payment terms.
