2D Animation in Glasgow
Illustrated and character animation for Glasgow businesses. Two-dimensional animation suits subjects that cannot be filmed — abstract concepts, internal processes, situations involving people you should not depict with actors — and it costs less than the three-dimensional equivalent for most of those jobs.
Why this comes up
The problem
The subject cannot be filmed. It is a process, a concept, or a scenario where using real people would be inappropriate or impossible to arrange.
What you get
What we deliver
- Script and storyboard agreed before animation begins, since changes later are expensive
- A visual style matched to your brand rather than a generic house look
- Character and scene design approved at still frame stage
- Animation produced to the approved boards
- Voiceover and sound design, which carry more of the result than expected
- Source files provided, so future amendments are possible

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what 2d animation would actually involve — whether or not you use us.
Working in Glasgow
Scotland

2D Animation in Glasgow — common questions
- When is 2D better than filming?
- When the subject is abstract, internal, or sensitive. Processes, data, medical explanation and scenarios involving vulnerable people all animate better than they film, and animation avoids the awkwardness of dramatising something with actors.
- Why does approval happen at storyboard stage?
- Because changing an animated sequence after production is close to remaking it. Frames are drawn, timed and rendered — there is no equivalent of a different take. Getting the storyboard right is where the project is controlled.
- How much does sound matter?
- More than most clients expect. Voiceover quality and sound design carry a great deal of the perceived production value, and good animation with poor narration reads as cheap. It is worth budgeting properly rather than treating it as a final step.
- Is 2D cheaper than 3D?
- Generally yes, for comparable length and complexity — there is no modelling, rigging or rendering pipeline. 3D earns its cost where the subject is a physical product or a space that must be shown accurately from multiple angles.
- Do you work with businesses across Glasgow City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Glasgow and the surrounding Glasgow City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Glasgow businesses do you usually work with?
- Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites. Beyond that we work across Engineering, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Creative Industries and Renewables.
- Do you cover the areas around Glasgow?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh. Glasgow is an urban area of roughly 1,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Glasgow City region rather than the city boundary alone.
