From storytelling to product spots, we deliver expressive 2D animation with design-forward motion that connects.
Stylish 2D That Stands Out.
2D animation for businesses that need an idea explained, a product introduced, or a brand story told in a minute or two — and need the viewer to actually understand it afterwards. It suits explainer videos, product and service introductions, social ads, onboarding and training videos, and brand stories. It is the explainer wedge of the studio's animation work: clear, character-led or shape-led, built around a script, and delivered remotely by Bizarre Studio (founded 2017, HQ Karachi, offices in London and Dallas).

How Your 2D Animation Project Runs
Step 1 — Discover: We start with your goal: what the viewer should understand or do after watching, who they are, and where the video will run. You send your key message, any script you have, examples of 2D styles you like, and your brand assets, and we agree the scope, running time, and style before anything is drawn.
Step 2 — Script & storyboard: The message becomes a script, then a storyboard: every scene drawn out so you can see the whole video before it is animated. You approve both. This is the cheapest point to change anything — a scene reworded here costs little; a scene re-animated later costs far more.
Step 3 — Design: Characters, illustrations, and backgrounds are designed in the agreed style, with your logo and brand colours built in. You approve the look before animation starts, so the finished video looks like your brand, not like a template.
Step 4 — Animate: The approved designs are animated to the voiceover and music: character movement, transitions, on-screen text, and timing. You review a draft of the full video and give feedback in the agreed revision rounds.
Step 5 — Refine: We apply your feedback, polish timing and sound, and check the video on the formats it will actually run on. Changes beyond the agreed revision rounds are quoted separately before they are made.
Step 6 — Deliver and support: You receive the final video in the agreed formats, with the source files where included in the quote. If you need extra cuts, formats, or a follow-on video in the same style, they are quoted as a small follow-on job.
Your project timeline is confirmed in writing before work starts.
FAQs — 2D Animation
Should I choose 2D or 3D animation for my explainer video?
It depends on what needs explaining. 2D is usually the better fit for ideas, processes, and stories: it is clear, character-led, and fast for a viewer to follow, and it keeps the focus on the message rather than the object. 3D is usually the better fit when the product itself is the point — its shape, its materials, how it moves or comes apart. If you are unsure, send us your message and we will say honestly which fits, including when the answer is neither.
What 2D animation styles are available?
Common styles include flat shape-based animation, character-led animation, whiteboard-style drawing, and typography-led motion, and they can be combined — a character-led explainer with animated text callouts, for example. The style should follow what the video needs to do: a social ad needs punch and clarity in the first seconds, while an onboarding video can take its time. We agree the style with you at the storyboard stage, before animation starts.
Do I need a script and voiceover, or do you handle that?
You don't need either to start. If you have a script, we work from it; if you don't, we help you write or tighten one as part of the project, and that is quoted in the scope. Voiceover is arranged as part of the quote where the video needs it — the animation is timed to the spoken words, so the voiceover is recorded before the final animation pass. Music and sound design are included where agreed in the quote.
How long does a 2D animation project take?
The timeline depends on the running time, the style, and how quickly feedback comes back at each stage, so it is confirmed in writing before work starts — not promised here. A short shape-based explainer moves faster than a longer character-led video with several scenes; the script and storyboard stages are usually where the schedule is won or lost, because a clear approved script makes animation straightforward.
How many revisions are included?
Most quotes include a set number of revision rounds — typically one round on the script and storyboard, and one on the animated draft — and the number is stated in your quote. Small tweaks to timing, colour, or wording are quick; reworking a scene, changing the script after animation has started, or swapping the style midway takes longer and may be quoted separately. Gather feedback from everyone who needs a say before each round, so one round doesn't become five.
