FAQ

What is 2D animation?

2D animation is the art of creating movable characters, objects, and backgrounds in the two-dimensional space with the help of special tools like Spine, Toon Boom, After Effects, etc.

The illusion of movement is created with a quick sequence of drawings over time. 1 second of animation usually contains 24 shots with a few changes to display the movement of characters or other objects on the scene. 2D animation is mainly observed in television shows, video games, feature films, advertisements, mobile apps or websites. For example, with high-quality 2D animation, game characters don’t look stiff and frozen – their movements become so fast and real that a player spends more and more time in eye-catching games.

What are the stages of 2D animation?

Like any other process, animation takes particular stages to come up with great final results. So, what are they?

  1. Planning. This is the stage where all great projects start – concepts, visual effects, characters, and other supporting details are planned and developed in crude terms. It is vital to develop a roadmap on which the further stages of production will be based. Success is in thorough planning.
  2. Pre-production. This is the stage of further development of ideas to communicate them clearly. Animators visualize movements, as well as the overall pace of animation through sketching, rigging, and other animation techniques.
  3. Animation creation. This is often the longest and busiest stage of animation when all points are taken into consideration – layouts, backgrounds, actions, music, frames, view perspectives and others to assemble the animation project.
  4. Post-production. After creating a rough animation, you need to clean and polish it. This is the stage where the whole development process is completed. As a result of this stage, the animation is enhanced with additional processes such as compositing, lighting, color correction.

How to hire 2D animators?

Today, you can hire a 2D animator very quickly – you just type a request in a web browser, and many results appear on your screen. You can apply to freelancing, recruitment or outsourcing services. So, you can cooperate with animators on a full-time basis, fixed price, or hourly rates. These specialists can be remotely available or be part of your in-house teams – it’s totally up to you.

No matter what engagement model you choose, there are several aspects you should pay attention to when hiring a 2D animator – a solid skillset and a rich portfolio. However, it isn’t always the key important factor. Additionally, conduct an interview to check candidates’ expertise in practice, or, better still give them a test job with specific requirements. If you haven’t worked on creating animation, it can be difficult to find out what to look for in each potential candidate. For that reason, it is highly recommended to apply to specialized agencies that can provide a wide range of specialists for your projects based on the latest standards. Our 2D animation agency has been in the industry for a long time. That’s why many clients come back to outsource 2D animation services again and again.

It is crucial to make sure about the level of experience, especially when you’re planning to work with freelancers who you aren’t able to control – no signed and dated agreement between you and a freelance 2D animator as contrasted with outsourcing teams.

Why outsource 2D animation services?

In addition to hiring full-time 2D animators at the office, you are lucky today. Due to active globalization, you get unlimited access to talent pools around the world – in the USA, Europe, Asia, etc. More and more companies outsource 2D animation services for many reasons. Firstly, operating costs are reduced – no need to rent an office, pay for office equipment and cover many other expenses. It is extremely noticeable when outsourcing to Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and other countries of Eastern Europe. These destinations feature low rates because of different economic dimensions and legal regulations, but they do not affect the quality of work.

Outsourcing also leads many business companies to increased efficiency on the market as you trust specific functions to experts with considerable expertise in the required area. So, if the animation isn’t your specialization, outsource services to a reliable 2D animation production company and focus on your core functions – business development, sales promotion, etc.

If you have familiarized yourself with the key benefits of outsourcing and realized that this can be a good option for your business, it is time to draw up an action plan. Decide which projects will be best outsourced to a third party, and address our experts who will meet all the requirements.

How Much Does 2D Animation Cost?

Typically, the final cost of 2D animation depends on many factors – complexity, duration, number of characters to be animated, design specifications, and others. The team you choose for 2D animation will also affect the cost – where it comes from, who is on that team, what qualifications they have and other characteristics.

The cost of 2D animation depends on the project for which it is created – be it a game or explainer video in 2D. Different calculations are made to estimate the cost of 2D game animation and 2D animated video. For example, animation of a cartoon is measured in seconds, but for games this estimate is not used, these are different directions.

In general, depending on the scope of work, different 2D animations costs can be estimated. The more complex 2D animation is, the more hours it will take, and, as a result, the more money you’ll pay for it. To find out the final cost, consider the hourly rates of 2D animators in different markets, such as the US, Europe and India.

Most American animation companies charge $100 – $149 or $150 – $199 per hour, most European companies offer 2D animation services at the hourly rates between $25 and $100. In Asia, you can hire a 2D animator for $25 – $49 per hour. Now, you can calculate the 2D animation cost on your own if you know that it takes about 10 hours to create a simple 2D animation. So, in the USA, it will cost you about $1,000, in Europe – $600, and in Asia – $400.

It’s up to you what to choose and why, but keep in mind that among all the options available today, Eastern European companies remain the most popular outsourcing destinations.
