The cost of animation can vary depending on the complexity and scope of your project. For a minute of 2D or 3D animation production, expect to pay upwards of $7,000+GST for a relatively simple project. However, if your vision demands intricate character animations and breathtaking detail, the cost can soar to $50,000+GST or more.

Our experience has shown that the sweet spot for most clients lies within the $20-25,000+GST range. This price point strikes a harmonious balance between affordability and exceptional quality, ensuring that your animated video captivates your audience without straining your budget.

Budgetary constraints shouldn’t hinder your creative aspirations. We’re committed to working closely with you to craft a video that aligns with your financial limitations and project goals. We can tailor the video’s length or employ simpler animation styles to achieve cost-effectiveness without compromising the essence of your message.

 The most effective way to determine an accurate quote is to just reach out and contact us. We’re always eager to collaborate with you, bringing your vision to life through the transformative power of animation.

At Motionlab, our animation studio understands that creating an animated video for the first time can be daunting. That’s why we’ve developed a tried-and-tested process that’s risk-free, collaborative, and easy-going.

Here’s a quick overview of our process:

• Discovery: We’ll start by getting to know you and your project. We’ll talk about your organisation, your goals for the video, your budget, your target audience, and how you want to communicate your message. The better we understand your needs, the better we can produce a video that meets them while delivering the results you’re hoping for.
• Script Writing: Based on our initial consultation and your project brief, our writer will create a voiceover script that meets all of your requirements and achieves your desired results.
• Voice Over Recording: We’ll send you a selection of voiceover artists to choose from. Once you’ve chosen an artist, we’ll book them into a recording studio where a sound engineer will record their performance of the script. You’re welcome to direct the recording session in person or over the phone.
• Storyboard and Style Development: We’ll create a rough storyboard to pre-visualise the structure and flow of the entire animation. This is basically a sequence of roughly sketched frames with the voiceover script and director notes on how things might move. We’ll also develop a range of original style treatments so you can see some options for how the animation will look and feel before we start animating.
• Artwork: Once you’ve approved the storyboard and style, it’s time to develop each frame from the storyboard into finished artwork. This may also include additional assets, character poses, different angles, effects, and anything else our animators need before they can start animating.
• Animation: This is where the magic happens! We combine the storyboard, artwork, and voiceover to add movement to the project and bring our artwork to life with beautiful detail.
• Music and Sound Design: A quality animation production is rarely complete without the addition of music and sound design. In this final stage of production, we’ll source a range of music tracks for you to choose from that best suit the tone of the video. Our sound designer will then add custom sound effects to give the animation more depth, accentuate key visuals, and keep viewers engaged.
• Sign-Off: That’s it! Your video is complete! We’ll export it based on your technical requirements and deliver it to you. If you need help figuring out how to host it, where to place it, or how to market it, we’re happy to help.

We hope this gives you a better understanding of our process! If you’re looking for an animation partner to help you create a video that will wow your audience, then contact us today. We’re here to help you every step of the way.

Our animation studio produces most animation productions in roughly 6-8 weeks all up. This allows a comfortable amount of time for client feedback as well as time for us to make any required changes. Having said that, simple and straight forward projects can be executed by our studio in as little as 3-4 weeks and more complicated or longer productions can take months to produce.

If you have an important deadline that needs to be hit, tell us and we’ll let you know if it’s possible or not. In some instances, we can just ramp up our production team size to get more done in less time.
