Give the product its moment
A well-chosen detail can carry an entire spot: the way a product works, the feeling of using it, or the small frustration it solves. In an animated commercial, the camera, design, and timing can all point toward that detail. We shape the spot around what you want people to notice and remember about your offer.
Where it runs changes how we tell that story. A television spot has different viewing conditions from a vertical social video ad playing without sound. We consider those versions while developing the idea, so the message still reads when the frame, running time, or audio changes.
What we make
Animated Commercials
Fully animated spots: 2D, 3D, or both, built from script to final render. No shoot, no weather, no location that closes at six. The spot you imagined, built one frame at a time.
An animated commercial is a fully built world: 2D, 3D, or mixed, created from script to final mix. The format gives you total control — of tone, physics, product truth, and weather — and a look that's yours alone. We've made them with agencies (BBH, McCann) and direct with brands.
Promo Videos
Shorter-fuse persuasion: launch promos, event spots, teasers, and hype pieces. They're built fast and designed to travel across paid and organic, with the same care as the thirty-second flagship.
A promo video is short-fuse persuasion: a launch promo, an event spot, a teaser - anything whose job is to make a date, a drop, or a debut feel unmissable. We animate them end-to-end, designed to travel across paid, organic, and everything in between.
CTV & OTT Ads
Nobody clicks a television. So we design the end card to earn the reach for a phone, and hold the code big enough and long enough to scan from the couch.
YouTube & Social Video Ads
Six seconds or sixty, sound-on or silent, 16:9 or 9:16. We design for the skip button: the first second earns the next five. We're a little obsessed with that first second.
Versioning & Cutdowns
One spot becomes a campaign: lengths, languages, aspect ratios, and offer variants. We deliver the whole set as one package, and we check every version frame by frame.
Animated commercial production
Animated commercial production begins with the message, the audience, and where the spot will run. We can develop the concept and script with you or work from an agency’s approved creative. Storyboards establish the sequence, while styleframes show the proposed look. Before animation begins, we agree on the visual direction, the review stages, and the versions needed for TV, streaming, YouTube, or social.
With those decisions in place, we build the spot through 2D and 3D animation, choosing the techniques that suit the idea. Character performance, camera movement, typography, and timing develop together. Where animation meets live-action footage, visual effects bring the elements into the same scene. You review the work at agreed stages as the commercial takes shape.
Finishing & Post brings together the edit, color, and sound mix. We then prepare the agreed masters, shorter cutdowns, and aspect-ratio versions, adjusting composition and pacing for each placement. Delivery follows the platform specifications established at the start.
FAQ
How much does a 30-second commercial cost?
The cost depends on what needs to be created: animating existing artwork is a different scope from photoreal 3D, character animation, or a spot combining animation and live action. Concept development, shot complexity, sound, review rounds, and alternate versions also affect the budget.
For commercials and promo videos, share your brief, available assets, references, and airdate. We’ll scope the work around them. See our 30-second commercial cost guide for pricing ranges and cost factors.
How long does a commercial take?
The schedule depends on the animation style, complexity, and starting assets. An approved script and design give us a head start; concept development, review rounds, and extra versions add time.
Tell us the airdate, launch, or event deadline. We’ll work backward from delivery, map out approvals, and tell you whether the schedule is realistic or the scope needs adjusting.
Can you work with our agency?
That’s half our work: Google with BBH, Annovera and NY Lottery with McCann. We plug into agency crews as the animation and craft department, working from your brief, creative direction, and client requirements.
Bring us in while the idea is taking shape or once the concept is approved. We can help work out how to execute it, develop the visual approach, and carry the animation through to finished delivery. Your team leads the client relationship, and your name stays on the work.
Can a commercial combine live action and animation?
Yes. We combine live-action footage with animation and visual effects, matching lighting, perspective, and movement so everything belongs in the shot. A spot can also move between filmed and fully animated sequences.
We handle compositing, cleanup, and CGI integration, then edit, color, and sound through finished delivery. Share the concept and any existing footage, and we’ll scope what still needs to be created.
What's the difference between an animated commercial and an explainer video?
A commercial sells; an explainer teaches. Commercials typically run as paid media, using emotion, story, and a focused message to make people want the product. Explainers spend more time showing what it does, how it works, and why that matters.
The two can overlap: a commercial might demonstrate a feature, and an explainer can help make the sale. If your audience needs a clearer understanding of the product, start with our Product & Technical Videos.
