Animation and explainer video production in London creates scripted, storyboarded, fully animated content (2D animation, motion graphics, whiteboard, and kinetic typography) to explain abstract products and services. Airframe Media produces explainer content for SaaS, fintech, property, and healthcare organisations, priced by length and animation complexity. Quotes are itemised after the brief is reviewed.
Corporate animated video production serves organisations that need to explain complex products, train distributed workforces, or communicate strategy without the logistics of live-action shoots. Airframe Media produces corporate animation for training and onboarding programmes, product demo animations that replace dated UI screenshots with visual explanations, internal communications animations for leadership announcements and change-management rollouts, and investor and pitch-deck animations that bring financial narratives to life for stakeholders and funding rounds. Learning-platform packaging and other technical delivery requirements are confirmed in the quote.
Corporate clients typically require animation that stays on-brand across multiple departments and campaigns. We build on your existing brand system, including colour palettes, typography and illustration style, so every animated asset feels native to your organisation rather than generic. For clients without an established visual language, developing an animation style is scoped in the quote as part of pre-production, and documenting it for future productions can be included in that scope.
The schedule is agreed from the brief and confirmed in the quote. 2D motion graphics and explainer videos generally move faster than character-driven or 3D animation, and any expedited schedule for time-sensitive internal communications or event-openers is only offered when it is confirmed in the quote. Scriptwriting, storyboarding, voiceover and the number of review rounds are named as stages in the quote.
Airframe Media is a London-based animation and explainer video production company. We produce scripted, storyboarded, and fully animated explainer content for SaaS products, financial services, property developers, and healthcare organisations across the UK.
Animation formats selected by the brief, in the style that serves your message and audience

Data-driven animated infographics that bring statistics, reports, and research to life for social, presentations, and press.
Animated logo reveals, brand idents, and motion language extensions that establish a consistent moving identity across all touchpoints.
Platform-native animated clips for Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube: motion-first content designed for feed performance.
Text-driven animation that turns quotes, statistics, and key messages into visually compelling video: minimal production, maximum impact.
Review points agreed in the quote so each stage is signed off before the next begins
When scriptwriting is in scope we develop the script from your brief: one clear message, one call to action, written to the word count for your agreed runtime. Script is approved before any visuals begin.
Where storyboarding and style frames are included in the quote, the storyboard covers the scenes named in it and style frames set the visual language (colours, typography, illustration style). The quote defines the approval point and the handoff into animation.
Where an animatic and voiceover are included in the quote, the animatic (a timed, rough-cut storyboard with the approved voiceover) confirms pacing and timing at the approval point the quote defines, before the handoff into full animation. Changes requested after this agreed approval stage may require a separate quote.
Full animation production to the approved animatic, with the review rounds set in the quote after first-cut delivery. Final files are delivered in the formats named in the quote.

Your quote is itemised: script, illustration, animation, voiceover and source files are priced for the agreed scope.
Cost depends on the animation style, runtime, number of custom assets, voiceover talent, review rounds and whether you supply existing brand assets or need them created from the brief. 2D motion graphics generally costs less than character animation or 3D, and a multi-episode series is priced differently from a single explainer. Airframe Media provides an itemised quote for the agreed scope, naming the stages selected for your production: script, illustration, animation, voiceover and sound design.
We produce 2D explainer videos for product and service overviews, 3D product demos and visualisations, motion graphics for data and analytics storytelling, character animation for training and onboarding, whiteboard animation for educational and thought-leadership content, kinetic typography for key-message and social media content, logo and brand animation for consistent motion identity, and animated infographics for reports and presentations. Many corporate briefs combine a main explainer with short social cutdowns and internal training modules under one consistent brand animation, and the mix is agreed in the quote. Where you have an existing brand system we build on it; where you do not, developing an animation style is scoped in the quote as part of pre-production.
The schedule is agreed from the brief and confirmed in the quote. It depends on the animation style, runtime, the number of custom assets, voiceover recording, review rounds and how quickly each stage is approved. Script, storyboard, style frames, voiceover, animation and revisions run in sequence, so the biggest timeline lever is script lock: approving the script before animation begins avoids the most expensive category of late change. Any expedited schedule is only offered when it is confirmed in the quote. Review points at script, storyboard and animatic stages are recorded in the quote so each stage is signed off before the next begins.
Animation is priced by runtime, style complexity, custom character or illustration work, voiceover, sound design, number of review rounds and whether you supply brand assets or need them built from the brief. A short motion graphics explainer, a fully branded 2D film and a multi-episode series each sit at different points of that range. Airframe Media provides an itemised quote for the agreed scope after reviewing the brief.
Animation and live-action schedules are structured differently. The schedule is agreed from the brief and confirmed in the quote, and it depends on runtime, animation style, voiceover and review rounds. Motion graphics projects are generally faster than full 2D character animation. Review points at script, storyboard and animatic stages are recorded in the quote so each stage is signed off before the next begins.
Yes, when scriptwriting is included in the quote we write the script from your brief. A good explainer script is not a sales pitch read aloud: it is a structured argument that addresses the viewer's problem, presents your solution, and ends with a clear action, written to the word count that fits the agreed runtime with a single focused message per video. If you already have a script we work from it, and the quote reflects that. Changes requested after the agreed script stage may require a separate quote.
We produce 2D character animation, flat motion graphics, whiteboard animation, kinetic typography, mixed-media animation, and animated infographics. We can also animate within your existing brand system, taking your design language, colour palette, and typography and building animation that feels native to your brand rather than generic. For clients with no existing visual system, developing an animation style is scoped in the quote as part of pre-production.
The number of review rounds is set in your quote and applied after the first animation cut is delivered. A revision round covers all consolidated feedback submitted in a single pass. We strongly recommend a script lock and storyboard approval before animation begins, as this limits late revision requests. Changes to approved animation (adding new scenes, changing characters, restructuring the narrative) are treated as scope changes and quoted separately.
Source files (project files, illustration assets and scene files) are available as an optional add-on, priced separately in the quote. The finished video is delivered in the formats named in the quote. If you anticipate needing to update the animation in-house (for example to swap out pricing, product names, or regional variations), we recommend requesting source files at the outset. Source-file requests outside the agreed delivery scope may require a separate quote.
Professional voiceover is available as an add-on. Voice artists are sourced to the accent, tone and languages your brief needs, and the selected talent is named in the quote. Voiceover is recorded after script approval and before animation begins, as the timing of the animation is built to match the recorded audio. We recommend against animating to a placeholder voice and replacing it later.
Yes. If you have an established brand system with logo files, illustration assets, iconography, and a defined colour palette, send it with the brief. When adapting supplied brand assets is included in the quote, we review what can be used directly, what needs adaptation and what must be created. The quote names that work before production begins.
Tell us what you need to explain, and to whom. We'll provide a detailed, itemised quote after reviewing the brief.
