2D Animation Production FAQs 

A 1 minute 2D animation with 1 Minute Media typically ranges from $3,000 to $10,000 + gst, depending on the animation style, script complexity, visual detail, voiceover, music, motion graphics, review rounds and final deliverables. 

Simple animated explainers usually sit at the lower end of the range, while multi character animation, detailed visual storytelling, complex-message animation or multiple campaign versions may require a higher production budget.

For an accurate quote, tell us your goals, audience, timing and preferred animation style so we can recommend the right approach and scope.

2D animation production is the process of creating animated videos using flat, illustrated visuals rather than live action footage. It usually includes scripting, storyboarding, illustration, voice-over, motion design, music, editing and final video delivery.

1 Minute Media creates 2D animation production for organisations, businesses and brands that need to explain complex products, services, processes or ideas clearly. Our 2D animation videos are designed for explainer videos, training content, internal communications, product education, campaigns and complex-message communication.

2D animation is effective for training videos, onboarding, internal communication, process explanations and stakeholder education because it turns detailed information into clear visual steps people can follow, understand and remember.

It works especially well when a message needs to stay consistent, repeatable and easy to understand across different teams, locations or audience groups. Animation can simplify policies, systems, workflows, compliance requirements and abstract concepts without relying on a specific workplace, presenter or filming location.

For larger compliance, Work Health and Safety (WHS) or workplace safety training programs, 1 Minute Media can recommend the best mix of 2D animation, live action, motion graphics and campaign-ready learning assets.

More Questions About 2D Animation Production

1 Minute Media specialises in 2D animation for organisations, businesses and brands whose audiences need to understand detailed ideas, services and messages without confusion or information overload.

Our team brings strategic, creative and production expertise to animated explainers, product and service stories, campaign videos, stakeholder communications, training content, internal process videos, website videos and social media assets. We manage the full animation production process, including strategy, scripting, storyboarding, illustrations, animation, voice-over, music, editing and campaign-ready versions.

This means one core animation works harder across your website, presentations, paid campaigns, internal communications and social channels.

2D animation works best when your audience needs to understand ideas that are complex, abstract, technical, sensitive or difficult to film. Instead of relying on real locations, people or products, animation gives you complete control over the message, visuals, pacing and level of detail.

Live action works better when your audience needs to see real people, places, interviews, environments or human emotion. Many strong campaigns use both formats, with live action building trust and connection, and 2D animation making detailed ideas easier to understand.

1 Minute Media can recommend the right format based on your message, audience, budget, timeline and campaign goals.

2D animation makes training content easier to understand by turning complex information into visual steps people can follow, remember and apply. Instead of relying on dense documents or long verbal explanations, animation shows processes, decisions, risks and responsibilities in a structured way.

This works especially well for onboarding, internal process training, stakeholder education and technical information that needs to stay consistent across teams, locations or audience groups. For larger compliance, WHS or workplace safety training programs, 1 Minute Media can recommend the right mix of animation, live action, motion graphics and campaign-ready learning assets.

Drop us a line for a quick estimate.

The 2D animation production process starts with strategy. 1 Minute Media works with you to define the audience, message, objective and key action, so the animation solves the right communication problem before production begins.

From there, our team develops the script, storyboard, illustrations, visual style, voice-over, animation, music and editing. Each stage builds on the previous one, so the final video feels purposeful, polished and easy for your audience to follow.

The process also includes review stages, so your team can give feedback before the animation is finalised and prepared for websites, presentations, campaigns or internal communication.

Drop us a line for a quick estimate.

A 2D animation project usually takes several weeks, depending on the length of the video, complexity of the message, illustration style, review process and number of deliverables. The more detailed the concept, visuals and campaign assets, the more time the project needs to develop properly.

As a guide, allow around two weeks for pre-production, two weeks for production and one week for post-production. This gives your team time for internal proofing across departments, so key stakeholders can review the script, storyboard, visual direction and animation before final delivery.

1 Minute Media can adjust the schedule for urgent projects where the scope, approvals and creative direction are clear from the start.

Drop us a line for a quick estimate.

Yes. One well-planned 2D animation can become a full set of campaign-ready video assets for your website, paid ads, organic social media, email campaigns, presentations and internal communication.

1 Minute Media plans these versions during production, so the core message works across different platforms, formats and audience moments. Depending on your campaign goals, we can create shorter cut-downs, square versions, vertical versions, captioned versions, thumbnails, GIFs and other visual assets from the main animation.

This gives your animation more value after delivery because the same core idea can support awareness, education, sales conversations, stakeholder updates and ongoing campaign activity.
