Any Questions?

  • We scope animation timelines based on project goals and deliverables.

    For example, a 2-minute animated explainer film typically takes around 4-6 weeks from kickoff to final delivery, factoring in review time.

    If you have a fixed deadline, we’d be happy to align our schedule accordingly.

  • We build tailored proposals based on the strategic goals and scope of each project, from single films to multi-deliverable campaigns.

    This ensures you get the right solution for your needs.

  • Yes - we’re happy to operate under NDAs and confidentiality agreements.

    We understand projects involve sensitive information, so we can put an NDA in place before we begin.

  • We manage the entire animation lifecycle: Strategy, script development, concept & design, animation, sound design and final delivery.

    Our structured process keeps all stakeholders aligned.

  • Yes - we can develop scripts from brief or collaborate on drafts you already have.

    Wherever you are in the process, we can shape the narrative so the final animation meets your strategic goals.

  • Absolutely. We partner with internal stakeholders as part of a wider comms strategy, ensuring animations fit into broader campaigns, learning programmes or enterprise rollouts.

  • Yes - we regularly partner with agencies as their animation production specialists.

    We can operate white-label or co-branded depending on your preference, and integrate smoothly into your client workflows.

  • We don’t produce live action in-house, but we maintain trusted production partners.

    If your project requires hybrid execution (live-action + animation) we can coordinate the end-to-end delivery through our partner network.
