What Our Clients Say:

Money Empire – x Google
Can not recommend Onepost enough! The team got back to my initial query straight away and took the time to understand what I was after. The first concepts were through to me in days and they were bang on brief with consent communication on where the project was at! The effort to get the final version exactly how I wanted was so greatly appreciated. I love the final version and can’t wait to share it. THANK YOU!
Our Process is Unique and Simple
Kick Off
First up, we chat about what you want and if we can do it (spoiler alert: we can). Next, we partner you with an awesome copywriter who’ll get started on your script and an account manager who’ll make sure everything runs smoothly.
Scripting
Depending on the scale of your project, scripting usually takes 3-5 days. Your copywriter will develop a script that ticks all your boxes and liaise with you directly until you’re happy with the story they’ve created.
Concept Design
Before we get cracking on illustration, we give you a ‘sneak peek’ so you can tell us what you like and what you don’t. Concept design usually takes 1-2 days and we use this time to make sure we nail the look and feel you’re going for before we get started on the real thing.
Illustration
A storyboard is an animated video from beginning to end, just on paper. It usually takes about a week to pull your storyboard together. When you’ve approved it, there’s no surprises when we get to animation.
Voice Production
Most animated videos need a professional voiceover, and some need music to be produced specially. Sound a bit scary? Don’t worry: we handle it all.
Animation
Now’s the fun part! Our animators work their magic to turn your paper storyboard into a walking and talking animated video. You’ll receive regular updates along the way plus low-res MP4 video files that you can watch to provide feedback and approve the video. In most cases this takes about a week to complete.
FAQ
Commonly asked questions on our animated video service
How much does an animated video cost?
This all depends on what you want to achieve out of your project, what sort of budget you have and the style of the video. Once we have a few questions answered, we can then put a proposal together that will have a few pricing options. This way you will be able to see the difference between a cost-effective project and one with all the bells and whistles.
Our Animated videos start at $1500 and can go to $15,000 depending on what is needed.
What’s included in your animation studio pricing?
Every project is different, but our quotes typically include strategy consultation, script writing, professional voiceover, animation, sound design, revisions (usually 2-3 rounds), and multi-platform file optimization. No hidden costs or surprise fees.
Can you work with our existing brand guidelines?
Absolutely. We work within your established brand guidelines and can even help strengthen your visual brand consistency across video content. If you don’t have formal guidelines, we can help develop them as part of the video production process.
Do you use A.I?
We use A.I for Scripting Assistance:
When it comes to A.I we do use to help form scripts for animated videos. This brings our costs way down. For example, it’s common that we get handed a 50-page council framework to scan through and develop a 3-minute explainer video. A.I help can us do this within minutes not weeks. This of course is optional.
We are starting to use AI more and more with certain shots we need and if you are wanting something totally out of this world – then yes We are all in with AI.
What we Don’t use it for:
We don’t use A.I for design outputs. It’s quite frankly… not great. We have a real-life artist who is amazing.
Is it more cost-effective to get more than one video produced at the same time?
Yes! It absolutely is. Often, once we have created all the assets for one video, it’s then easy to reuse them for others and think of it this way – It’s easier for a voice over artist to record all the videos in one session than being pulled back to a studio for each one.
If you have a project that requires multiple animated videos, we will produce a quote showing you the difference of what one video costs and what, say, five videos will cost. The difference can save you thousands.
What’s the process with animated explainers?
Please see above the questions for a detailed answer on this. We would also be happy to talk through everything on the phone with you and can send you a process specific to your project, including timings.
Why should I use Onepost Media?
