Frequently asked questions

A freelance animator can be a good choice for straightforward briefs with flexible timelines. For anything client-facing, time-sensitive, or with multiple deliverables, a studio offers more reliability. Studios also typically include script writing and project management, which a freelancer often does not.
UK freelance rates typically range from £300 to £700 per day depending on experience. A 60-second explainer video might take three to five days of production time, plus time for script and storyboard, so expect £1,200 to £3,500 for a competent freelancer. Our studio rates are competitive with experienced freelancers and include a full managed process.
A typical 60 to 90-second explainer starts at £1,500 and includes everything: script development, storyboarding, style frames, animation, voiceover, and multi-format delivery. More complex or longer projects are quoted individually. We provide a clear itemised quote before any work begins.
Most projects are delivered within two to three weeks from brief to final files. Longer or more complex animations may take four to six weeks. We agree a timeline at the start and keep you updated throughout.
No. Script development is included in every project. We shape the message together from a briefing call. If you already have a script we will review and refine it before animation begins.
