Bringing Brands to Life Through Character Animation
- Original character design
- Full rigs for 2D and 3D
- Lip-sync & facial animation
- Reusable across campaigns
A good character does more than appear on screen. It reacts, hesitates, celebrates and empathises — and those small acting choices are what make audiences care about the story it's telling. That's the craft we focus on.
Our character pipeline covers design, turnarounds, expression sheets, rigging, lip-sync and performance animation in both 2D and 3D. Once built, your characters can return in campaign after campaign, becoming recognisable brand assets in their own right.

What Makes Our Character Animation Value-Driven?
A well-designed character is a long-term brand asset. Once audiences know and like your character, every new video starts with built-in recognition and goodwill — something stock footage can never provide.
We build characters for longevity: production-ready rigs, style guides and expression libraries mean each new appearance is faster and more affordable than the last.

Character Animation FAQs
How much does character animation cost?
Simple character animation starts in our C$1,120 Professional package, up to 60 seconds. Advanced character and scene animation falls in our C$2,810 Premium package, up to 120 seconds. Longer series are quoted on scope.
Do we own the character you design?
Once the project is paid in full, the character's design rights transfer to you as set out in your contract, so you can use it across all your marketing.
Can you animate our existing mascot?
Yes. We can rig and animate an existing mascot from your artwork, rebuilding it as an animation-ready model if needed.
2D or 3D characters — which should I choose?
2D characters are faster and more illustrative; 3D characters offer depth, realism and flexible camera angles. We'll recommend based on your style, budget and future plans.
How long does it take to create a character?
Design and rigging take 1–3 weeks. A video featuring the character then follows a normal 3–8 week production schedule.
Can the character speak multiple languages?
Yes. Our rigs support lip-sync in any language, so you can localise content without re-animating from scratch.
