Why cartoons work

A cartoon video that
people actually watch.

Cartoon video production gives you a story people want to finish. A character with a problem is easier to follow than a list of features, and easier to share.

We write, design and animate every frame at our studio in Braintree, Essex. Start with one short video and build a cast over time.

Easy to followA character with a problem explains your offer faster than a feature list.
Easy to rememberViewers recall a character long after they forget a slide.
Easy to shareShort, funny and clear, so it gets passed on.

Questions

Before you book.

The things people ask us first.

What is cartoon video production?

It's making animated videos with drawn characters and a story. We write the script, design the characters, animate them and add voice, music and sound. It suits software, services and any business with a story to tell, whatever the sector.

How much does a cartoon video cost?

Projects start from £750. You get a fixed quote before we start, based on length, characters and how much animation the story needs. Our animation page shows the wider range.

How long should a cartoon video be?

Usually 30 to 90 seconds, which suits the way most people watch. Cut downs of 8 to 20 seconds work best on social, and we make those from the same animation. We recommend a length after reading your brief.

What's the difference between cartoon and 2D animation?

Cartoon videos are character led and story driven. 2D animation is the wider craft, including motion graphics and animated diagrams.

Can you make a mascot for my business?

Yes. We design the character, write its voice and animate it, so it looks the same in every video. Start with one short cartoon and add new stories later. See our character animation page.

Do you make cartoon videos outside Essex?

Yes. We're based in Braintree, Essex, and work with clients across the UK. Everything runs on review links, so you comment on the video itself and nothing gets lost in email.
