Animated Video Production Services

Animated video production is the imaginative process of crafting engaging visual narratives through sequential art, motion, and sound. It employs various techniques, such as 2D or 3D animation, to bring stories to life, capturing audiences with its captivating style and limitless creative potential. Animated videos are some of the most popular types of videos companies create.

What's the difference between 2D video and 3D video?

The primary difference between 2D and 3D videos lies in their visual depth and the way they represent objects and scenes:

  • 2D video: In two-dimensional (2D) videos, objects and scenes are represented on a flat plane, using only height and width dimensions. This creates a flat and simplified appearance, often seen in traditional cartoons, motion graphics, and hand-drawn animations. The lack of depth in 2D videos results in a more stylized and artistic presentation.

  • 3D video: Three-dimensional (3D) videos incorporate height, width, and depth, creating a more realistic and immersive visual experience. 3D videos use computer-generated imagery (CGI) and advanced software to model, animate, and render objects and scenes with a lifelike appearance, texture, and lighting. This adds depth and perspective to the video, making it more engaging and visually striking.

In summary, 2D videos offer a flat, stylized representation of objects and scenes, while 3D videos provide a more realistic and immersive visual experience by incorporating depth and perspective.

336 Productions can create both 2D and 3D animated videos.

Steps in the Animated Video Process

Below are the typical steps in the creation of an animated video project:

  1. Concept development: Brainstorm and finalize the core idea, message, and goals of the video.
  2. Scriptwriting: Write a script that conveys the message and engages the target audience, focusing on storytelling and pacing.
  3. Storyboarding: Create a visual representation of the script through a series of sketches or illustrations that depict key scenes, camera angles, and transitions.
  4. Style and character design: Develop the visual style, including color schemes, backgrounds, and character designs that align with the brand identity and video objectives.
  5. Voiceover recording: Record the voiceover narration or dialogue, ensuring clarity, tone, and pacing match the video’s purpose and style.
  6. Animation: Bring the characters and scenes to life using various techniques such as 2D, 3D, stop-motion, or motion graphics, depending on the desired visual effect.
  7. Sound design and music: Enhance the video with sound effects, music, and audio mixing to create a rich and immersive soundscape that complements the visuals.
  8. Editing and refinement: Assemble the animated sequences, voiceovers, and sound elements to create a cohesive final video. Make adjustments to pacing, transitions, and visual effects as needed.
  9. Review and feedback: Share the video with stakeholders for feedback, and make revisions to address any concerns or suggestions.
  10. Finalization and delivery: Once approved, render the final video in the desired format and resolution, ready for distribution and promotion.

Benefits of Producing Animated Brand Videos

Producing an animated brand video can be an excellent long-term business decision. Animated videos offer companies a powerful and versatile medium to communicate their brand’s message. With the ability to simplify complex ideas, animation captivates audiences by making content both informative and enjoyable. The inherent flexibility in design and style allows brands to craft a distinct visual identity, which can forge a lasting connection with viewers.

By creating animated videos, companies can not only boost audience engagement but also strengthen brand recognition and enhance the overall marketing strategy.

Why Video Is So Effective

The secret to the marketing success of video is its engagement. It’s highly compelling and easy for everyone to understand. This is why video excels where other static mediums don’t. It can grab user attention and hold it for longer than a stack of infographics or reams of text. In fact, according to HubSpot, video offers you better ROI than any other form of content.

Search engines like Google have recognized this as well and tend to rank pages with videos higher than those with just text. A study by Forrester Research revealed that a web page with video is 50 times more likely to achieve an organic ranking than one with only plain text. The only limits on an animated brand video are the limits of your creativity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of videos can be created with animation?

Our animated video production services are pretty versatile. Business owners use them for explainer videos, product demonstrations, educational videos, corporate presentations, and so much more. With both 2D and 3D options available, you can choose the style that best fits your brand’s identity.

Looking for a fun, creative brand animation video or something more linear and straightforward for a corporate presentation? Whatever the case, animation allows you to step outside the boundaries of standard video production and create something unique.

How are animated videos different from live-action?

An animated brand video allows you to simplify complex or abstract ideas—perfect for visualizing how a product works, highlighting digital workflows, or creating stylized characters that represent your brand. Unlike live-action, animation isn’t limited by physical sets, props, or casting.

Animated video production services can be just as entertaining as live-action, but may be more cost-effective. As a video animation studio with more than 15 years of experience, our team at 336 Productions can help you determine if animation, live-action, or a mix of both is best for your next project.

How long does it take to produce an animated video?

Timelines for animated video production services vary based on the scope and complexity of the project. A simple 2D explainer with basic animation might take a few weeks, while a detailed 3D product visualization might require precise animation that could take several months.

Because we’re a full-service video production company, we can streamline the process from start to finish, providing you with updates every step of the way, from scripting and storyboarding to editing and exporting. With our uniquely collaborative approach, we make it our goal to ensure your final brand animation video exceeds your expectations in a timely manner.

How much do animated videos cost?

Pricing for animated video production services depends on a number of factors, including the length of the video, the level of detail, the type of animation, and whether or not any additional services are required, such as special effects or voiceovers.

Animation is an upfront investment that often pays off in the long run. Since elements of an animated video can be updated over time, your animated brand video can stay just as relevant as the day you first released it, all without the cost of reshoots.

Why work with a professional video animation studio?

A professional studio offers more than just technical animation skills. It brings creative direction, marketing expertise, and strategic storytelling to the table. At 336 Productions, we don’t just animate graphics—we produce cinematic, branded content designed to reflect your values, resonate with your audience, and achieve real business goals.

With over 15 years of experience in live-action corporate video and animated video production services, our team guides you through the full process, from concept to final export, ensuring consistency, quality, and creativity at every stage.

Can I create an animated video myself using AI tools?

DIY animated video tools and AI platforms have become more accessible, but creating an effective, on-brand video still requires time, strategy, and creative oversight. These tools can be great for quick mockups or simple animations, but often fall short when it comes to polish, specificity, message clarity, and storytelling.

At 336 Productions, we use best-in-class AI tools in tandem with professional design and production practices, ensuring your animated brand video isn’t just fast to create, but impactful and effective in the long term.
