Understanding the Cost Factors of Animation
Smart planning, efficient workflows, and a focused creative team can deliver fantastic results, but you also have to consider things like duration, complexity, and quality that can raise the cost of your animation.
Duration, complexity, quality, and production
A complex, high-quality animation requires more time, increasing an animator’s workload with additional scenes to build and longer hours spent animating and editing, making it highly time-consuming. For example, a 30-second video can range from 3-4 weeks to several months to complete, mostly varying on quality, style, and team size.
Short, simple animations (10–30 seconds): Lower complexity, minimal effects, characters, and animation prices often range from $1,000 to $5,000. Usually would take 2-4 weeks.
Medium-length animations (1–2 minutes): Moderate complexity with custom art characters and animation: expect $5,000 to $15,000.
Long, high-complexity projects (3+ minutes): Full custom production with professional style frames, 3D elements, and detailed storytelling $15,000 free revisions.
