Animation services
for every kind of story.
2D, 2.5D and 3D animation: explainer videos, product animation and exploded views, children's book animation and lifelike characters.
Our team created an animated series that airs on PBS stations in the Southeast, and we animate for businesses, authors and creative teams across the country. Whatever the style, we start with what your viewer needs to understand, then pick the look that shows it best.
Based in Spartanburg–Greenville, SC. Working nationwide.
EVERY STYLE.
ONE TEAM.
- Explainer videos
- 3D product animation & exploded views
- Children's book animation
- Lifelike 3D characters
WHY ANIMATION
Show what a camera
never could.
Animation can explain an idea in seconds, show the inside of a product, or build a whole world from a picture book.
It's also flexible. Update a step, change a line or add a language without a reshoot. And the characters, products and worlds we build can be reused in video after video.
- 01 Make complex products and processes easy to understand.
- 02 Show what can't be filmed: inside a machine, the human body, a product that isn't built yet.
- 03 Stay on brand with characters and worlds that belong to your story.

ANIMATION + LIVE ACTION
Mix it with live action.

Because we also film live action in our own studio, we can put a 3D product into an interview, layer 2D graphics over a brand film, or place real people in an animated world on our LED wall. One team plans the whole piece.

GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you ask.
What animation services do you offer?
2D animation, 2.5D animation and 3D animation, including animated explainer videos, motion graphics, 3D product animation and exploded views, mechanical and technical animation, children's book animation, brand mascots and advanced lifelike 3D characters.
What is the difference between 2D, 2.5D and 3D animation?
2D animation is flat artwork that moves. 2.5D places layered 2D artwork in 3D space, so a camera can move through it with depth. 3D animation builds models that can be lit and seen from any angle. Our guide, 2D vs 2.5D vs 3D animation, explains which to choose.
How much does animation cost?
Every project is quoted to fit. 2D animation is usually the most affordable, 3D costs more up front, and 2.5D falls in between. Length, the number of scenes and characters, the level of detail, voiceover and deadlines all affect the price.
Can you animate my children's book?
Yes. We bring picture books to life in 2D, in 2.5D using the original illustrations, or in 3D, with narration and music. We also create animated book trailers.
Can you work from our product's CAD files?
Yes. If you have CAD or 3D files, we build the animation from them. If not, we can model your product from photos, drawings and measurements.
