What can 2D animation studios produce?
Animation in reality can be applied cross platforms since there are a lot of different industries that utilize it, not only animated films.
Game design
Video games are basically just interactive animation, where the players are in control of animated characters in a virtual environment. In other words, you can say that video game players are just making their own personal animated films with pre-made animation. This is why animators are some of the most essential parts of a video game development.
Feature film production
Hybrid films that combine live action with 2D animation has been an unique entity throughout the history of both films and animation. More so when nowadays 2D animation is making a huge come back with a lot of nostalgic values as can be seen in movies like Space Jam 2 and Mary Poppins Returns. That' why 2D animation can also be included in the high budget blockbuster worlds of Hollywood live-action feature films.
Animated series
It can take from months to years to produce an animated series, depending on the animation style, the budget, the duration of each episode, or the complexity of the story.
And if it requires more complex movements and advanced techniques, it could even take up to several years for a studio to produce an animated series. Over the past five years, DeeDee Animation Studio has produced quite a few of well-received animated series like She-Kings, The Naught-Nice Business, Honda Fun With Traffic, etc.
Animated commercials
When it comes to advertising, the advantages of 2D animation studios are clear. Compared to the preferable choice of CGI, 2D animation is much more flexible, quicker to produce, and can achieve unique imageries that capture the viewer's imagination and entice them to purchase the promoted products.

Music videos
Animation and visual effects always brings a certain "wow" factor to a music video. And when 2D animation is involved, it stands out from the crowd and catches the audience's attention instantly for its artistic values. Especially nowadays, 2D animation is helping turn real life music artists into 2D animated characters and produce high quality music videos while still avoiding the risk of catching Covid-19 by shooting on a set.
Near the end of 2019, DeeDee Animation Studio was invited to participate in the production of 'Christmas Just Ain't Christmas' animated music video. This is a song by the worldwide famous singer/actress Idina Menzel (the voice actress of Elsa in Disney's 'Frozen'), in her 2019 Christmas album 'A Season Of Love'.
How to choose the best animation studio?
To find the best 2D animation studio for your company, you need to evaluate many criteria from budget to customer service. Here are the factors that you should keep in mind when choosing an animation studio.
Budget
When it comes to negotiating with an animation studio, the first and foremost question to discuss is the budget. So how much does a 2D animation studio cost exactly? According to Creative Humans’ statistics in 2021, a low-budget animated video would often cost between 3,000 and 7,000 dollars per minute while a 10,000 - 20,000 dollar contract is the minimum range for a professionally produced one.
The concept of "animation" can fall into a wide range of definitions, including many different genres and forms of animation, with completely different production requirements. So, don't be surprised if the production costs varies drastically from one studio to another. Besides, the production cost that you can afford is also an important factor in determining the style of animation that can be produced. However, in whatever discussion involving money, there should be honesty and transparency. Don't try to cut corners, and the production companies won't let you down in their results.
Portfolio
An animation company's portfolio or showreel displays the quality of its production. Browsing through their video collection can give businesses an idea of what they typically produce. Moreover, it would help you generate a vision for your company’s projects.
From the portfolio, you can determine how well an animated video appropriately and effectively depicts characters and brands.

An animation studio must first comprehend the client's concept to develop an effective animated. Before your business signs a contract with an animator or a studio, you'll want to see if you understand each other thoroughly.
Examine whether such a production firm answers quickly to your inquiries allows you to take part in all steps of construction. It's crucial because no one understands your organization as you do.
Testimonials and Past Clients
