Craft 01 · Animation

Stories worth watching twice.

From a seventy-two-hour Eid greeting for Hamad International Airport to a 3D smart-city explainer for Msheireb — we've made animation for the airport, the bank, the insurer, the regulator, and the startup. Script, storyboard, voiceover, final cut: all in-house, on one timeline.

What we make

Six shapes. One pipeline.

The same team handles every phase — concept, script, storyboard, voiceover, animation, sound design, and final render. No assets lost to translation, no hand-offs to vendors, a schedule you can count on.

01

Brand films

60–90-second films that carry pitches, round tables, and launch events. Tone-matched to your brand voice.

02

Explainer videos

Complex products or services simplified into one clear watch. Perfect for landing pages and onboarding.

03

Motion graphics

Data, statistics, and process walk-throughs made kinetic. Broadcast-ready, social-ready.

04

2D animation

Character-driven stories, brand worlds, and illustration-led narratives — frame by frame.

05

3D animation

Hybrid 2D/3D systems, product reveals, architectural fly-throughs. As seen in our Msheireb work.

06

Branded characters

Original IP — like the Ooredoo cast (Mr. Teckey, Slash, Geekster, Ooredions). Worlds that carry your brand.

How we work

Six phases. One team.

01

Brief & discovery

One direct conversation. We ask what the film has to do, not what you think it should look like.

02

Script & storyboard

Words first, then the frame plan. Signed off before pixels move.

03

Voice, illustration & rigging

Casting or licensing the VO, drawing the world, rigging the characters. All parallel.

04

Animation

Frame by frame or scene by scene. Weekly reviews in a shared workspace, not a review portal.

05

Sound design & mix

In-house. Sound effects, music, mix, master — no separate post-house handoff.

06

Delivery & measurement

Master file, social cuts, source files, and a wrap-up on how it performed.

FAQ

Animation, answered.

How long does a 30-second animation take?+

4–6 weeks for motion graphics, 6–9 weeks for 2D character animation, 8–14 weeks for 3D. Faster is possible for a fee; we won't quote it before we know the script.

What does a 30-second animation cost in Qatar?+

Motion graphics QAR 12–35k, 2D character QAR 25–80k, 3D QAR 80k+. Prices are per finished 30 seconds; bilingual delivery adds ~40%.

Do you write the script or do we?+

Either. Most clients send a brief + one draft; we return a proper script with visuals and pacing. If you have approved copy, we adapt it for screen.

Can you match our existing brand guidelines?+

Yes. Send the brand book and any reference work; we set up the colour system, type, motion language and grid before storyboarding.

How do reviews and revisions work?+

Three locked gates — script + storyboard, animatic, final cut. One round of changes at each gate is included.

Can you animate in Arabic without losing tone?+

Native AR direction, calligraphy-aware kinetic typography, RTL composition from the storyboard up — not bolted on at the end.

Do you handle voiceover and sound design?+

Yes — casting, recording in Arabic and English, original music or licensed tracks, and full mix. All in-house, on the same timeline.

What final formats do you deliver?+

Master file plus social cuts (16:9, 1:1, 9:16), versioned for LED walls, broadcast, web, and in-app. AR + EN audio tracks. Source files on request.

2D or 3D — how do we choose?+

2D wins for explainers, awareness, social — anything that ships fast and reads clearly. 3D when the product is the hero.
