Frequently asked questions
How much does animation cost per second?
Simple 2D motion graphics cost €20 to €60 per second of finished animation. Character animation with lip sync and performance costs €80 to €200 per second. At the high end, broadcast-quality animation with complex rigs runs €300 to €600 per second. Quote by deliverable, not just by second, so clients understand the full scope.
What format should an animation quote take?
Break the quote into phases: script and storyboard, character and background design, animation, sound and music, final delivery. Quote each phase separately. This makes it easy to pause a project between phases and gives the client a clear view of where their money is going.
Should I include music and voiceover in an animation quote?
Only include music and voiceover if you're producing them yourself. If the client is sourcing music separately, note that in the quote to avoid confusion. Stock music licences typically add €80 to €300 to a project. Voiceover from a professional actor adds €300 to €900 depending on length and usage.
