Our services
Owing to our ten years of experience, we’re able to prepare the most optimal offer based solely on a given topic, provided we understand the requirements and possibilities. Often, that is all a client can provide, yet we can still deliver an informative cost estimate of the expected budget. The scriptwriting only represents a fraction of the total cost, so in case of serious interest, we strongly recommend having it written – a task we are happy to undertake. Once the script is finalized, we can allocate work hours to each scene and production phase, allowing an accurate calculation of the final budget based on the applicable hourly rates.
2d animation
Factors determining the cost of a 2D animation
- duration of the animation
- number and level of detail of graphic elements
- quantity and complexity of animation movements
- special or non-standard requirements (e.g., 270-degree projection, custom dimensions or shapes)
- human work hours required for narration/synchronization
- music licensing fees or cost of original music
A guide to estimating the production time of a 2D animated film
Average time required for a 5-minute animated film:
Pre-production
- synopsis creation by the curator with assistance: 1 week
- scriptwriting, in consultation with the curator: 1–2 weeks
- storyboard creation, in consultation with the curator: 1–2 weeks
