Types of Animation We Love to Create

2D Character Animation

We offer rapid 2D animation and fully custom illustrated 2D animation, bringing characters to life with precision and creativity. Our animation team ensures visually striking and effective 2D animation to help translate your message

3D Character Animation

3D animation allows for detailed visual communication, offering immersive, lifelike media or unique playful settings. It makes complex subjects engaging, easy to understand, and adds a wow factor to your content!

Whiteboard Animation

Whiteboard animation is a great tool to explain difficult, uncomfortable topics and or systems in a way that is easily digestible. Whiteboard animation leads to more effective storytelling, persuading or education making your message clear and illustrative.

Infographic Animation

Infographic animation turns often complex data into compelling visuals. By combining graphics and motion, it makes complex information easier to grasp, engaging your audience and highlighting key insights effectively.

Motion Graphic Animation

Motion graphics animation uses animated graphic design elements to create engaging visuals. It makes your message easier to understand and communication more effective by turning complex ideas into engaging, easy-to-understand visuals with smooth animations.

Does Your Company need 2D or 3D Animation?

Both 2D animation and 3D animation are viable options for communicating your company’s message. When considering whether to use 3D animation or 2D animation it is important to take into account how complex the topic that you are trying to communicate is. 2D animation works well for communicating complex systems, procedures and topics that require a visual component meant to bolster the topic. Whereas 3D animation takes a more realistic approach and works very well for simulating compromising situations such as health and safety training.

The Benefits of Using Animation

Animated video production opens up a lot of doors without even leaving the office. As opposed to traditional video production, animation requires no filming. This allows our animators to produce content more efficiently and cost-effectively. Animated video can be produced for almost any topic, this enables you to develop content for topics that may prove difficult to film. Animated video production is also modular because of your ability to repurpose the content or add to it as the need arises.
This allows you to produce more content from one animation project.

Motion Graphic & Infographic Animation

By using motion graphics we are able to bring static visual content to life turning things like graphs, logos and infographics into visually appealing content that has the ability to better capture its intended consumer’s attention and assure that they better retain the information presented. Humans are visual creatures and it’s been proven that visual learning is up to 400% more effective than non-visual learning.

Interactive Virtual Environments

Virtual reality seemed like a thing of the future for so long, but it has become so commercially and privately available that it is accessible even from our own homes, VR has so many capabilities and could in theory be applied to almost any industry in one way or another. By creating immersive and fully interactive VR environments we are able to effectively train employees in a wide variety of fields from understanding and working with large scale machinery and electrical systems to dynamic eLearning and systems training. It’s also a very effective tool used to showcase the size and scale of your companies/worksites and/or factories by means of Virtual Tours and Virtual Rooms, the possibilities are endless. VR has truly become Reality.
