What is a
Charity Animation
Animation for charities is a key tool in fund raising, increasing awareness and education. They are generally short, engaging and informative videos that can communicate a message in a colourful, entertaining, and creative way. The animations might be used to help raise donations for a fund raising cause, or to increase awareness and publicity.
As you can see from the examples on our website, there is no one size fits all approach. We use a variety of different animation techniques as befits the needs of the client we are supporting and the messages they want to put across to their audience.
So, no matter the outcome, know that our charity animation production agency has the power to showcase your topics and messages through the compelling videos we can create for you. Whether you’re looking for help raising money or building awareness of your brand, we can create the content that you need.

Our proven step-by-step process for delivering high-quality animated videos, on time and aligned with your objectives.

Initial Meeting
A meeting to chat about your film so we know exactly what you want to get out of it. We’ll discuss audience, art style, length and where the film will be shown. -
Script
Some clients like to write this themselves, some like us to do it. That’s totally up to you. If you’d like us to help you out all we need is a few bullet points about what you’d like to say. -
Storyboard
Armed with our signed-off script, we’ll create a frame-by-frame sketch of how we envisage your film to flow. You are welcome to make as many edits as necessary at this stage. -
Style Frame
To make sure you are happy with the look and feel of your film, we will take a frame from the storyboard and create three fully designed versions for you to choose your style from. -
Animation
With the script, storyboard and style frames all approved by you, we’ll then turn this into your film. We’ll handle everything from sound, voice overs, animation and editing. -

You can cut through different languages and cultures

If your charity is talking to people across the globe, our agency creates videos that are the ideal way to communicate your message in a way that everybody can understand.
Videos can go viral
Animated charity videos can be funny, engaging, and emotionally powerful. If they strike a chord with members of your audience, not only will they be remembered, but also shared on their social media channels. This is great news for you as your message can spread far and wide and you could increase your audience base as a consequence.
Google loves videos
There are lots of statistics online that prove the effectiveness of videos when trying to push a website up Google’s search rankings. Animated videos are good for your SEO because they can drive traffic to your website if they are used on your social media channels and they can keep people on your website for longer if you have videos for them to watch on your site pages.
So, if your website isn’t performing very well on Google and you would like to rise above your nearest competitors, animated charity videos are an excellent way to help you climb higher and boost your profile.

Our prices for a typical 1 – 3 minute explainer style animation range from £2,000 – £10,000 depending on the level of complexity required and the amount of design development is needed. For the level of quality you receive, we are one of the best value studios around.
We have a tried and tested work flow that we have been honing for over a decade. Every client comes to us at a different stage, but we can handle the lot. See “Our Process” above for some more details.
We will usually recommend allowing four to six weeks for the full production. Depending on your style and how much development work is needed, we can often turn things around faster than this if you know what you want in advance.
That is really up to you. We love clients that are passionate about their brand and want everything to be just so, and we welcome their input and feedback throughout the production process. Equally, if you prefer to go into detail about how you want it to look right at the start, and then just leave us to get on with it that works for us to.
This will depend on the purpose of your film. If you are promoting a new product or service, we will normally suggest a running time around two minutes. If your film is intended to educate and explain how a complicated feature works, this may mean a longer running time. We have made 10 second viral clips for social media and 20 minute detailed walkthrough animations of complicated concepts, and everything in-between.
Unlike many studios, Infocandy do not hold the licence to your film after the project has been completed. We grant you full ownership in perpetuity once the final invoice has been paid, meaning you don’t get hit with unexpected costs to keep using your film later down the line.
As standard, we will keep a backup copy of all your animation files for three years following delivery. This means if something changes in your brand or your messaging a year after you have received your final film, we’ll be able to simply and cheaply edit your film for you without you having to start from scratch.
