FAQs

How much does it cost?

Cost varies based on the length and complexity of the project so please get in touch for a more accurate quote. However, an average explainer animation costs ~£3000 and an average social animation costs ~£1000.

Can we make the project cheaper?

Sure, we can simplify the animation or remove certain elements to keep the cost within your budget. If you want to work with us, we want to work with you. This means we can be flexible and change the scope of the project to fit your budget.

How long does it take?

Again, time scales vary based on the length and complexity of the project so please get in touch for a more accurate quote. However, an average explainer animation takes ~6 weeks and an average social animation takes ~3 weeks.

Can we get it done faster?

Sometimes. There will be an accelerated fee and we can’t guarantee that this will be available so please plan ahead!

We already have a script / storyboard / artwork. Can you just do the animation?

Sure! We are happy to fill in any gaps you have in your workflow in order to complete your project. We may still require a discovery stage in order to get up to speed with your assets and plan.

Our Solution/Business is very complex, can you still help?

Definitely! We love learning new things and picking them up fairly quickly. We can work together to make sure all the messaging is correct and aimed at your target audience.

Can you build on my existing brand?

Of course! Whether you are a start-up with a new brand, going through a re-branding process or have a well-established brand, we can create animations and guidelines to fit around your business.

Can you do a fast turnaround for trending topics?

We sure can! Whilst this might not always be possible we try our best to offer reactive content if and when required.

Can you do 3D?

Currently, no. It’s something we are constantly experimenting with and we do add some basic 3D elements to our projects when necessary. If you’re after a complex and detailed 3D animation then I'm afraid we aren’t your studio.

Do we get the project files along with the video?

Nope. However, you can purchase the project files and all the assets after the project is complete. Extra software licences may need to be purchased for the project file to work.

Can we skip a stage in the process?

I prefer to look at it as actively choosing to not action a stage. This could be for many reasons, a common one is not skipping the voiceover stage as the video does not require one. Every project is different and will require a slightly different process.

Why hire anico over an agency?

We are more agile, flexible and probably cheaper whilst still providing great work.

Do you outsource any of the work?

Yes. And for good reason, I can tell you now you do not want me to do the voiceover for your explainer video. Whilst I do hire outside help now and again (hence the studio name) most of the work is carried out by yours truly. Either way, all work is checked by myself to make sure it meets our standards.

Our Solution/Business is very complex, can you still help?

Do you work with agencies?

Yup! We work well with marketing or design agencies that need a helping hand on an animation project.

Do you offer a retainer service?

We do! We can talk about a retainer offering and create a quote based on the required work. Please get in touch to discuss this further.

Is animation right for our business?

Animation can work for every business. It’s about how you apply it to solve your current problem. In some cases, animation isn’t needed and won’t add much value. If you want to discuss how animation can help your specific business then please book a call.
