Why you need animation
Animations bring your vision to life. We make explanatory processes and systems visible to your target group. Whether it's a complicated process or the inside of a machine, nothing is impossible.
Unsere 2D- und 3D-Animationen erklären komplexe Produkte und Prozesse, unter anderem für EWE, Doppelmayr, TOMRA, LYNX und die KÖ-KLINIK.
Von Erklärfilmen und Maschinenanimationen bis zu Architekturvisualisierungen und 3D-Renderings.
Make complex things simple.
Animations explain your products and services in a way that everyone can understand. This not only saves you valuable explanatory time, but also money.
Make the impossible possible.
With an animation, you can show your product in action and implement perspectives that would not be possible with a classic film.
Stay fit for the future.
Once your product is animated, we can easily update your movie should you change the design or logo. In traditional film production, this would require an entire film team every time.
Turning concepts into reality.
Animation allows you to present a new product in an appealing way before you've even finished building the first prototype.

Your suffering has come to an end from today: Our animated 2D explainers make explanatory processes and systems visible to your target group. Explanations have never been so easy to understand and beautiful.

After all, we want to work with you for years, or even decades, to come—and for over 10 years, we’ve achieved that primarily through our fair and transparent pricing.

Depending on the specific service, your project timeline will be approximately 2–6 weeks. This includes all the necessary tasks and components required to turn your initial idea into a finished product. Generally, photo or graphic design projects are completed faster than film or animation projects.
It is important to note that the timely completion of your project also depends heavily on you. Feedback turnaround, availability, and decision-making speed are just as critical as external factors like the weather. But don't worry—you’ve come to the right place. You’ll benefit from our 10+ years of experience in media production and thousands of successfully completed projects. We guarantee timely and reliable delivery from the start!

Your project costs are determined by a variety of factors. First, we’ll discuss your current challenges to develop a concept that uses creative media to solve them. In practical terms, this means we tailor the project budget to the creative output. The more resources—such as time and creative effort—we invest in a project, the higher the budget. More specifically, the budget is composed of the following phases: pre-production, production, post-production, and delivery. Individual components include equipment, team size, production days, and the scope of post-production work.
As you can see, many secondary tasks contribute to the final goal of the defined output. We would be happy to discuss your options and provide you with various budget recommendations.
Of course. Some projects don't require a major production or extensive conceptual work: imagine you want to showcase your stylish new location online and need high-quality architectural photos. We can handle projects like these starting at €1,500, or simple graphic design work from as little as €1,200. As you can see, your project requirements are the main factor in determining the budget. Just get in touch with us, and let’s work together to put together the perfect package for you.
Even with the best planning, projects can sometimes incur costs outside the agreed scope, such as additional production days, extra rounds of revisions, further export formats, or multiple language versions.
For us, acting transparently and proactively is key. We always communicate any potential additional costs that may arise during a project in advance, including the pros and cons, so you can make an informed decision before any expenses are incurred.
