5 Questions to Ask Before You Hire a 2d or 3d Animation Service Provider

2d and 3d Animation Service

Today the practice of making explainer videos for the company is in fashion. Explainer videos have a capacity of attention-grabbing more than any other medium. A combination of visuals, music, text and voice-over makes it more appealing and easily understandable for the viewers. It really doesn’t matter if you are making the explainer videos in 2D or 3D. Market is full of potential 3d animation services and 2d animation services to complete your requirement.  

However, both the platforms have advantages and disadvantages of its own. It mainly depends on the purpose of your video production and nature of your business as well. A 3d animation video offers a better depth and perspective for the product narrated in the video. Whereas 2d animation provides quick, lively and a candid view about the company and its products.

It’s very important to choose the right company to get the explainer video done properly. There is no major difference in short listing and selecting the animation service providers in any of the platforms. Questions for selecting 3d animation services are similar to queries for 2d animation services as well. Let us have a look at the exact questioner for selecting an animation service provider.

·         How old is the Company?
It is very important to check the total experience of the company. We prefer to always work with a highly experienced 3d animation services and if going for 2d animation even a company with moderate experience is good enough.   

·         Do they have a Website?
It is quite easy to have a website in today’s market. The concern is not the availability of the website but the quality of it. If the animation company you are planning to work with does not have an attractive website for themselves, it stands a very rare chance for them to perform well for you either. Remember no professional 3d or 2d animation services would ever use templates for their own website.  

·         Who are the team members working on your project?    
Now after confirming about the company is there a real need to inquire about the team members? We definitely say yes to this as many 2d and 3d animation services do not have a team of their own. They mostly outsource their projects to freelance animators. The company acts only as a mediator in the whole process. This is certainly not something you are paying for. Companies like Animation 299 have a dedicated in-house team for all their projects, better rely on such companies.  

·         Does the company have work samples available online?
They can show you tons of animation projects that are done by them. However, it is very necessary to know if the clients have used them or not. Companies tend to show even the work rejected by the clients. If this is the case, you have landed up at the wrong place. If the company shows samples of work available online, it means that clients approve their work. It is always better to work with companies having recognition in the market.

·         What are their charges for animation services?
Now this question matters the most entrepreneurs while finalizing an animation service provider. What would be the charges for their 3d or 2d animation services? What we suggest is never opt for the lowest quote ever. An excellent piece of animation is the stuff that’s going to pay you in the long run. Making a fantastic animation requires artists to brainstorm, conceptualize, research and plan the whole project. These efforts’ need to be rewarded appropriately, that’s why it is better to spend few extra bucks on animation services.
