"Gather as much written content as possible about the product or service that you wish to feature in the 3D animation."

So you’d like to make an online 3D commercial to explain about your business or product and wondering who you should hire? You are in the right place. This article aims to point you to the right direction.

There are thousands of studios around world that offer 3D animation services but not every studio is worth giving a shot. Some are too big to take on small commercial projects and some produce mediocre or inferior quality animations that you are better off without them.

When it comes to 3D animation, skills and creativity must go hand in hand. Some companies might have good technical teams but lack proper creative direction. Given the high price of 3D animation production as compared to other styles such as 2D animation or motion graphics, you can’t just do A/B testing. It will end up costing your company a fortune.

Things to Share When Enquiring From a 3D Animation Studio

  • Gather your goals. Let the studio know what you need to achieve.
  • Share your competitors commercials with the studio. Let them see what others have done, so they can guide you for a better outcome.
  • Gather as much written content as possible about the product or service that you wish to feature in the 3D animation. No one knows your product or service better than you, so pass the information along.
  • If you know what kind of graphic style you need, get some samples from Youtube, Vimeo or other places and share them with the studio. The animation studios usually need to evaluate a sample to determine the cost and delivery time estimate.
  • If you have a deadline, make sure to inform the studio team. Sometimes a rushed deadline is not even feasible.
