FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our 2D animation process.
How much does 2D animation cost?
The cost of a short 2D animation video can vary widely depending on factors such as the complexity of the animation, the length of the video, and the level of detail required. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars for a professional-quality 2D animation video.
How long does 2D animation take?
The time it takes to produce a short 2D animation video for promoting your company can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the animation, the length of the video, the level of detail required, and the availability of the animation team. On average, a simple 1–2 minute 2D animation video can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to produce. However, more complex or longer videos may require additional time.
What are the best dimensions, lengths, and formats for 2D animated video?
The best dimensions and length for a short 2D animation video can vary depending on the platform where you plan to showcase it. For most online platforms, a common aspect ratio for 2D animation videos is 16:9, which is the standard widescreen format. As for length, a short 2D animation video typically ranges from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. However, the ideal dimensions and length may also depend on your specific promotional goals and the preferences of your target audience.
How can I get the most mileage out of 2D animated video?
To get the most mileage out of 2D animated video: 1) Share videos on your company website, social media, YouTube, and email newsletters. 2) Use the video in paid advertising on Facebook, Instagram, or Google, to reach specific demographics most likely to buy. 3) Embed the video in relevant articles, landing pages, and your email signatures. 4) Use the video in presentations, at trade shows, conferences, and networking events. 5) Incorporate the video into email marketing campaigns. 6) Collaborate with industry influencers, partners, or affiliates.
Are there limitations to what 2D animation can be used for?
You may want to consider a different video format (live-action or 3D) if realism is important to your product or service, such as demonstrating how a machine or device works IRL. Or, if you want to showcase actual customers, users, or employees to help form a more personal human connection with viewers. Testimonials and interviews are also typically better done in live-action, since you'll see real people talking emotively. If budget is a concern, live-action film might also be better than 2D animation — depending on distance to site, number of participants, and other factors. Lastly, if photo-realistic or hyper-realistic visuals are needed, we'll pick a medium that matches your product, your intended video use, and your goals for the project.
