Making a Short Film
With Infocandy
Short films can include anything from a two minute clip to make people laugh on social media, to a 15 minute epic tale of fantasy and fiction. One of the things we are known for and that we really love making is telling factual stories highlighting the achievements of brilliant women that have not have the fame and recognition that they deserve.
As you can see from the selection of short films below, we can work in a huge variety on styles and techniques. We like to match the style to the theme of the film. We have made films using stop-frame sand art, traditional hand drawn animation, and water colour illustrations to name just a few. If you have an idea that you want to create, let us know.

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.
