Frequently Asked Questions

What types of animation services do you offer?

We provide explainer videos, motion graphics, 2D and 3D animation, interactive web animations, as well as storyboard and concept development to support your creative vision.

What is the difference between 2D and 3D animation?

2D animation uses flat graphics that are ideal for simple storytelling and educational content, while 3D animation delivers more realistic and immersive visuals, perfect for high-impact brand experiences.

When should I use an explainer video?

Explainer videos are best for simplifying complex products, services, or ideas into short, engaging stories. They work especially well on landing pages, social media, and presentations.

How long does it take to produce an animation project?

Timelines depend on project complexity. A short motion graphic can be completed in 2–3 weeks, while more advanced productions like 3D animations may take 6–8 weeks or longer.

Can the animations be customized to match my brand?

Absolutely. Every animation is tailored to your brand’s style, tone, and objectives — from colors and typography to overall visual storytelling.
