About this service

Summary

I'll create and deliver a clear, engaging 2D explainer animation that turns complex ideas into concise, visually appealing stories. I handle scripting, visual development, animation, and final delivery, making the process simple and structured. Brands work with me when they need a clean, modern explainer executed end-to-end with minimal oversight.

FAQs

  • Can you write the script?

    Yes. I can craft a concise, client-approved script for the explainer, or work from a script you already have.

  • What do you need from me to get started?

    A brief discovery call and any existing brand assets, references, VO, or music preferences. From there, I handle the full process.

  • How many revisions are included?

    Each project includes a focused revision stage. Additional changes beyond the agreed scope can be added at standard rates.

  • How much does a video cost?

    Pricing varies based on complexity, level of polish, and runtime. I provide a clear, detailed estimate after our discovery meeting so you know exactly what’s included.

  • How long does a typical project take?

    Most 2D Explainers take 2–4 weeks, depending on scope and feedback cycles. Larger or more complex builds may require additional time.

  • Do you handle the full production process?

    Yes. I manage scripting (if needed), visual development, animation, and final delivery — ensuring a consistent result with minimal oversight.

  • Do you work with existing brand guidelines?

    Yes. I can follow your established brand system to ensure the final animation fits seamlessly into your identity.

  • Can you match a specific visual style?

    Absolutely. I can match or adapt to references, brand work, or defined aesthetics.

  • Do you provide source files?

    Source files can be included as an optional add-on. Preparing them requires extra time, so they’re priced separately from the final deliverables.
