Our Clients
Animation Video Production Melbourne
We create animation videos for Melbourne businesses that need to communicate ideas that are difficult to film. This includes software platforms, technical processes, product functionality, and internal systems.
Our work ranges from 2D animation and motion graphics through to whiteboard animation, product visualisations, and light 3D animation.
Animation That’s Built Around Your Message
Every animation project starts with understanding what you need your audience to take away. From there, we develop:
- A clear script that simplifies the message
- A visual approach that supports understanding
- A style that matches your brand and audience
Whether you need an explainer video, internal communications video, product animation, or training content, the goal is always the same: make complex information easier to understand.
Industry Specific Examples
Here are some animations we’ve created across different sectors:
Healthcare & Training – Simplifying complex compliance processes for a national provider.
Financial Services – Visualising funds or investment flows for large institutions.
Construction & Industrial – Demonstrating plant operations, equipment or logistics using 3D and animation.
Technology & SaaS – Showing how software or platforms integrate across devices and teams.
Choose the Right Animation Style
We’ll recommend the right visual approach depending on your objective:
2D animation – Ideal for brand stories or explainers to present ideas or guide viewers through a message.
Whiteboard – Great for training or internal comms when you need to break something down step-by-step.
3D – Best for high-end product demos, industrial processes or immersive environments.
Character animation – Adds personality and retains attention for marketing campaigns.

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.
