General

What does Animio Studio do?

We plan, write, design and animate videos for brands: explainers, 2D and 3D animation, product and medical animation, motion graphics, characters and AI video. One producer runs your project from the first call to the final file.

Who do you work with?

Startups, growing businesses, agencies, schools, non-profits, public bodies and larger companies. The artworks on our work page are real projects for clients like these.

Can the animation match my brand?

Yes. We design characters, colours and type around your brand guidelines so the video looks like yours.

Do you work with clients outside the US?

Yes. Projects run online, by call and email, so we work with clients wherever they are. Prices are in US dollars.

Pricing & estimates

How much does an animated video cost?

It depends on style and length. Motion graphics starts at $299 for 15 seconds and $899 for 60 seconds. A 60-second explainer starts at $1,699 and 60 seconds of 3D starts at $3,199. Every service page lists its prices by length.

Why do you publish prices when other studios do not?

Because you should know whether a studio fits your budget before you book a call. The published price is where your project starts. Your written estimate confirms the final figure before any work.

Are there hidden costs?

No. Each price lists what is included. Extras such as rush delivery, extra languages or extra formats are quoted in writing before you commit.

How do I pay?

Your written estimate sets out the payment schedule before any work starts. You never pay for anything you have not agreed to.

Process & delivery

What is your process?

Six steps: brief and estimate, script, style and storyboard, voice and sound, animation, and final delivery. You approve the script, storyboard, audio and animation before we move on.

How long does it take?

It depends on length and style. You get a written timeline with your estimate, before any work starts, and rush delivery is available.

How many revisions do I get?

Unlimited revisions within the agreed scope at each stage. Our terms explain exactly what that covers.

Do you write the script and provide the voiceover?

Yes. Every animation package includes scriptwriting, a voiceover, sound effects and licensed music.

Who owns the final video?

Once the project is paid in full, you can use the final video anywhere for your business. Our terms set out the details.

By service

Service questions

Explainer Videos

How long should an explainer video be?

Most explainers land between 60 and 90 seconds: long enough for the problem, the solution and one call to action. For ads and social, a 15 or 30-second cut works better, and we can make both from one script.

Do you write the script?

Yes. Every explainer includes scriptwriting. You approve the script before any design starts, so the story is locked before the budget goes into animation.

Can you show our actual software?

Yes. We can animate simplified versions of your screens, or record and polish a screencast, like our eSleuth.ai and Title 360 CRM videos.

2D Animation

What is the difference between 2D animation and an explainer?

An explainer is built to explain one product in about a minute. 2D animation covers character-led work such as mascots, cartoons, trailers, music videos and series. It needs more character design and acting, which is why it starts at a higher price.

Can you create a mascot for us?

Yes. We design the character from your brief, you approve the sketches, and we build it for animation so it can return in future videos.

Can you animate a series?

Yes. A series reuses the same characters and settings, so each episode after the first costs less to make. The four G Vision Ent promos are one example.

Whiteboard Animation

Is whiteboard animation still effective?

It works best when people need to follow a process step by step: training, finance, insurance, healthcare and education. The drawing hand guides attention to one idea at a time.

Can whiteboard videos use colour?

Yes. Classic black on white, spot colour on key items, or full colour fills. You see a style frame before production starts.

Can we provide our own voiceover?

Yes. Send a recording and we time the drawing to it, or we cast a professional voice artist for you.

Motion Graphics

What is motion graphics used for?

Product teasers, app and feature launches, kinetic type, data and UI animation, and event openers. If the story has no characters, motion graphics is usually the fastest and most affordable route.

Can you work from our brand guidelines?

Yes. Fonts, colours, icon style and logo rules come from your guidelines, so the video sits naturally next to the rest of your marketing.

Can you make vertical versions?

Yes. 9:16 and 1:1 versions are included at 90 and 120 seconds and are available as an add-on for shorter videos.

Cel Animation

What is cel animation?

Traditional frame-by-frame animation, where every frame is drawn. It gives the most fluid, hand-made movement and is used for trailers, short films and music videos.

Why does cel animation cost more?

Every frame is drawn by hand. One second of cel animation can need up to 24 drawings, where rigged 2D animation moves a handful of key poses.

Can you match a classic cartoon look?

We design an original look inspired by the era or mood you like. We do not copy existing characters or another studio's style.

Logo Animation

What do you need from us?

Your logo as a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF). If you only have a PNG, we can rebuild it as a vector first, quoted in writing before we start.

What formats do I get?

An MP4 for video, a transparent version for editing, and short intro and outro versions.

Do you make hand-drawn logo animations?

Yes. Frame-by-frame logo animation, like our Shay and Frag Zuggy pieces, is quoted on the Logo Story tier or above.

Corporate Video Animation

What counts as corporate video animation?

Brand and culture videos, anniversaries, public awareness campaigns, training and internal announcements.

Can the video go through legal or compliance review?

Yes. We plan review rounds at script and storyboard, when changes are easy, and keep a record of every approved version.

Can you make a series?

Yes. The Midwest Energy safety series is three videos built from one visual system, so they look and sound like a set.

Animated Presentations

What do you need from us?

Your deck, report or outline. We rewrite slide text so it works when heard, design each scene and animate it.

Do you keep our slide template?

We can keep your template's fonts and colours or redesign it. Either way, the video plays on its own without a presenter.

Why is it priced per 30 seconds?

The work grows with the number of scenes, and every 30 seconds is about six animated scenes.

Infographic Videos

What data can you work from?

Reports, surveys, research results and financials. We check every figure against your source file, and you approve the numbers before animation.

Can the charts be updated later?

Yes. Add the source files to your order and your team, or ours, can update the numbers for next year's report.

How is it different from motion graphics?

Infographic videos are built around data and comparisons. Motion graphics is broader and covers type, interface and brand animation.

3D Animation

What can 3D animation show that 2D cannot?

Real depth, materials and camera moves: worlds the camera can travel through, characters with weight, and events recreated from any angle.

Do you do 3D products and medical procedures too?

Yes, each has its own page: 3D Product Animation and 3D Medical Animation, with their own examples.

Can you recreate a real event?

Yes. We rebuild scenes from your photos, plans and reports, as in our Accident Recreated video. You approve the layout before animation.

3D Product Animation

What files do you need?

CAD or STEP files are best. Photos, dimensions and a sample product also work.

Can you show the inside of a product?

Yes. Cutaways, exploded views and x-ray views show mechanisms and parts you cannot film.

Can I use stills from the animation?

Yes. Product stills for your website, packaging or listings can be rendered from the same scenes as an add-on.

3D Medical Animation

Who checks medical accuracy?

Your clinical team does. We build from your references and procedure notes, and you approve the script, storyboard and draft for accuracy before the final render.

Who are medical animations for?

Patients, sales teams, clinicians in training, investors and conference audiences. We set the level of detail for the audience.

Can you show a procedure without graphic detail?

Yes. Stylised tissue, clean colours and cutaways let patients follow every step comfortably, as in our dental procedure videos.

3D Character Modeling

What is a turntable?

A 360-degree render of the finished character, used to review the model from every side before it is rigged or animated. Every artwork on this page is one.

What file formats do you deliver?

FBX, OBJ or the native Blender or Maya file, with textures. Game-ready and 3D-print exports on request.

Can you design from a sketch?

Yes. Send a sketch, a description or reference images and we take it from there.

AI Animation

Is AI video real animation?

AI tools generate the raw shots. Our animators direct them, fix consistency, edit, add sound and grade the video, so it looks intentional rather than generated.

Can we run AI video in ads?

Yes, within each platform's advertising rules. Some platforms ask for AI-generated content to be labelled, and we can add a disclosure on request.

When is AI the right choice?

When you need many variations quickly, like the five Baja Limo ads. For strict brand consistency over a long video, 2D or 3D animation is still the better choice.

Video Editing

What footage can you edit?

Camera and phone footage, screen recordings, webinars, podcasts and stock. Send it by link.

Do you add graphics?

Yes. Titles, lower thirds, captions and motion graphics are included in the Promo and Long-form tiers.

Can you cut ad versions?

Yes. We cut 6, 15 and 30-second versions in vertical, square and wide formats.
