Hi Warriors,

I am looking for an animation service so I can create a short 30 second animation on how to use my website. In the past I have used websites like Animoto (which is an awesome website), but I need something a little more specific.

Would you guys happen to have any recommendations? Any greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Antony.

    What type of animation are you looking for?

    2D? 3D?

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting back to me. I already have Camtasia which is great for tutorials. However, at 8 minutes long, I rather need a short 30 second - 1 minute animation to entice visitors to register. So far I have found one possible company(Welcome to Xplainator), although I am not yet sure of their prices. 2D would be fine I think.

    Thanks,
    Antony.

        I'll let you know as soon as I get a quote. It seems they almost have a monopoly out there - anyone fancy a business venture?

    For anyone who's interested, Explainator responded with two quotes: $2500 (2 minutes) and $1200 (1 minute).

      Thanks, Antony. That's interesting... I knew they would be pricey because of the quality of their work.

      Hello,

      If you can justify the $1000/minute price then Explainator or Ydraw are both excellent options.

      If you are okay surrendering a portion of control with respect to the exact design, then there are other options which can be utilized for about one quarter the cost of either Ydraw or Explainator.

      Take a look at these videos as examples. Animatedvideo offers these up for around $249 a pop. Additionally, these videos can be created in about 3 days versus Ydraw and Explainator who both need several weeks because the project is completely custom.

    Check out offers on fiverr: I'm sure you can get really cheap services there, but probably not too good quality - so it depends on what you need ..
