Animated Short Films
Say more with fewer words. Animated film allows your organisation the creative space to tell stories with more emotional depth. With full control over each frame and pixel your audience sees, you can reach people in a number of ways. Use powerful imagery to explore important, emotional themes, deliver a clear message about a complex issue, or inspire excitement and interest with narrative-driven media. It’s all possible with animation.
Ask me about…
Emotive storytelling
A sensitive topic, an earnest need for aid or awareness, an extraordinary story about incredible people. Animation in short format gives you the medium to convey honest emotion without losing your core ideas in the mix.
Build awareness
With so much noise flooding our senses, how much spare attention does anyone have? Animated communication gives you the power to cut through that noise and reach the people who have the capacity and interest in your story.
Deeper connection
Engage, immerse, inspire with imagery that touches a deeper part of the human experience. Animated short films can carry the emotional expression that drives your organisation and deliver it to a wide audience.
Complexity simplified
Some topics are either too complicated or too sensitive to risk miscommunication and recklessness. Animation, with a curated experience that carefully explores your point of view, is the answer.
The Process
01
First Steps
We get in touch, talk about your ideas and explore how animation can help you achieve them.
02
Discovery
Dive deep into the specific goals, requirements, limitations, and other specifics to build a plan of action.
03
Project Brief
We’ll turn your ideas, goals and expectations into a working plan of action and sign-off to go ahead with the work.
04
The Message
We take your story and distil, restructure, workshop and adapt to create a script for your short film.
05
Style & Branding
Animation is versatile, which is great for storytelling, but you want a specific look and feel to your video. We build that look.
06
Storyboarding
Scene by scene we plan out the animation, building a storyboard to visualise the final product and align each element.
07
Voiceover
If the video includes voiceover work, we get that underway so that it’s ready to be a foundation for the animation.
08
Sample Animatic
I combine the voiceover & storyboards to give you a preview of the finished product and we make any needed changes to the brief.
09
Character Design
If your film has distinct characters that stand out from the general design, we create them here to give your film a burst of life.
10
Illustration & Design
I start creating the final-version illustrations based on the style frames and storyboard - visuals ready to be woven together with motion and sound.
11
Animation
With every detail prepared, I retreat to my studio to begin animate your film to match the storyboard, style, and voiceover work.
12
Sound Design
With your beautiful, eye-catching visuals, we create a memorable audio experience to complete the picture, optionally bringing in a professional composer.
13
Delivery
Once the tweaking and polishing is all done, I deliver your completed film, ready to broadcast your story to the world.

How much does an animated short film cost?
Animated short films are among the most costly projects due to the large amount of work involved, as you can see in my process. If you have a script, feel free to send it through, along with your vision, your ideas, and maybe an example of what you’re looking for, and I’d be happy to give you some ballpark costs.
I need a quote to apply for funding for my film. Are you happy to chat?
I always love talking about animation, so yes please! Reach out and we’ll schedule a time to talk through your vision for the film and how I can best support you through the early process.
Will you collaborate with our own internal team?
Absolutely! I work with a whole range of clients, from local councils to businesses of all sizes - each have their own ideas share and each prefers a different level of involvement in the process. I can customise my process to collaborate with your team, take the reins of the project, or anywhere in between.
