How it works

From brief to final file

  1. 1

    Discovery call

    We learn your goal, audience, message and deadline, then recommend a style and length.

  2. 2

    Script

    Our writers draft a script built around one clear message and call to action. You review and approve it.

  3. 3

    Storyboard and style

    We sketch the key scenes and design the look, from characters to colours and type, before animation starts.

  4. 4

    Voiceover and music

    We cast the voice, record the narration and choose or compose music that fits your brand.

  5. 5

    Animation

    Our animators bring every scene to life, with a review round so you can request changes.

  6. 6

    Delivery

    Final sound mix and polish, then delivery in every format and size you need.
