Animation production timelines vary based on the style of animation and overall scope, but generally speaking:
:15 sec = 2-4 weeks
:30 sec = 4-5 weeks
1:00 min = 5-7 weeks
2:00 min = 6-9 weeks

We work to tailor our proposals to fit a range of budgets.
Smaller budgets often allow for more creative freedom, letting us experiment with exciting ideas. Larger budgets, however, provide more deliverables—like hi-res assets, animated GIFs, and multiple edits for different platforms.
Our focus is on delivering high-quality work for organizations that are driving positive change, while also ensuring fair compensation for our team. We’re here to find the best solution that aligns with your goals and budget.

F.A.Q.
-
Not at all. If you have a script, that’s great — we can take it and run with it. If you just have a rough idea in your head, we can expand on it, draft a story around it and bring it to life.
-
Yes, we do this type of work all the time and have prepared just about every deliverable under the sun. Most common requests are for traditional 16:9 aspect ratio (like you see on HDTV or in movie theaters, 1:1 (square) or 9:16 vertical which you more commonly see on mobile devices. We also take longer videos and create additional shorter edits between :05-:15 seconds for bite-size content on social media.
-
It depends on your story and where it will live, but typically, :30 to :90 seconds is the sweet spot. If it’s 2 minutes +, most people will move on before the video ends. That’s just the short-attention-span world we live in these days…
-
A great question. There are many ways to make content “evergreen” and we’re skilled in advising on how to make a video last for years. That said, sometimes we need to share compelling facts or statistics in your story — in that case, we can create an video that can be easily updated year after year to adjust with the changing times.
-
YES! We aim to practice what we preach!
We operate a remote work model that allows team members to collaborate from various locations. This flexibility minimizes our office's carbon footprint and allows us to tap into a diverse talent pool.
All vendors we partner with are committed to sustainable practices, transparency, and ethical standards. We vet each vendor to ensure they align with our values, covering areas such as sourcing, production, and labor practices.
Beyond working with sustainable vendors, we integrate eco-friendly practices into our day-to-day operations. This includes minimizing paper usage, reducing energy consumption, and encouraging team members to participate in sustainability initiatives.
-
Yes, we come from years in the commercial advertising world which means we are well versed in all of the multi-pronged ways to reach your audience’s eyes and ears. Whether it’s video, print, social media, outdoor advertising, email marketing, radio, snail mail or flyers, we can help put together a plan and create the content strategy to meet your goals.
-
Illustration is art that tells a story. It is eye grabbing and conceptual and gives you all the feels.
Graphic design is where form meets function. It gets across information in the most visually appealing way and gives off a vibe in the process.
-
Animation offers unparalleled creative freedom, allowing you to bring any idea to life without limitations. It you full control over every detail, ensuring consistency in visuals, messaging and brand.
Additionally, animation is timeless, adaptable, and can simplify really complex ideas, making them easier to understand. It’s also more accessible, with the ability to be translated into multiple languages and tailored for different audiences around the world.
-
Before we get started on any project we carefully plan out a timeline that includes predetermined dates for client feedback. We use online review platforms that make it easy to give us your notes and call out specific details. We love to talk our clients through work in progress via video conferencing to make sure we answer any questions. We’ll plan to give you enough time to run it through any and all stakeholders to make sure everyone is aligned at each step of the project.
-
No problemo! That’s why we are here. We eat, drink and breathe this stuff every day and know how to clearly communicate the goals, process, the challenges along the way. Our dedicated project manager is happy to walk you through each step and answer any questions you may have to make this an incredibly smooth process.

Oh you better believe it. If you work with us, we’ll happily send sketches of your dog, cat or favorite house plant. That’s just one of the many perks of this job. 🐶
