Why Animation Works
Animation gives you full control of brand tone, visual consistency and narrative clarity. For anything from product demos to corporate training, social media hooks to explainer pieces, animation simplifies complexity and makes ideas memorable. We create animation videos for Melbourne-based organisations that need clear, on-brand communication.
Our Animation Process
We’ve refined a structured workflow that makes production straightforward, even for complex messages.
Our Melbourne team handles everything, including writing, storyboarding, style development, animation, voiceover, and versioning for different platforms. You’ll review and approve each step along the way, ensuring the final animation is accurate, on-brand, and easy to understand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of animation do you produce?
We produce 2D motion graphics, character animation, whiteboard and icon-based explainers, product visualisations, and light 3D where it adds value. We will recommend a style that fits your brief, audience, and budget.
How much does a 60-second animation cost?
As a guide, a 60-second whiteboard or icon-style explainer usually starts from around $3,000 to $6,000 + GST. More detailed 2D or 3D animation with custom characters and complex scenes can range from $8,000 to $15,000+ + GST, depending on length, style, and revisions.
What affects the cost of an animation?
Key factors include video length, illustration and character complexity, number of scenes, 2D versus 3D elements, voice-over talent, music and sound design, number of revision rounds, and how many versions or cutdowns you need for social or internal use.
How long does an animation project take?
Most projects take around three to six weeks from briefing to final delivery. This covers scripting, storyboarding, style frames, animation, sound design, revisions, and preparation of your final files and social versions.
Can you match our brand style and guidelines?
Yes. We work with your brand guidelines for colour, typography, logo usage, and tone. We create style frames early in the process so you can see and approve the look and feel before we move into full production.
Do you help with scripting and storyboarding?
Yes. We can start from a rough outline or key points and develop a clear script and storyboard. This makes sure the message is right before we invest time in illustration and animation.
Can you create social media versions of our animation?
Yes. We regularly supply different aspect ratios and lengths for platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. We can plan these versions from the start so you get the most value from the project.
What deliverables will we receive at the end of the project?
You will receive high-resolution master files, social media versions if included, and caption or subtitle files where required. If needed, we can also supply stills or individual elements for use in presentations and other marketing materials.
