Animation techniques
Epitome Collective works in
Each technique suits a different job. Epitome Collective recommends one at the brief stage based on your product, audience, budget and timeline. Many projects combine two.
01
2D animation
Characters, scenes and transitions designed and animated in 2D. 2D suits storytelling and is the quickest style to change when your message changes.
02
Motion graphics
Animated type, icons, charts and interface elements. Motion graphics carry data, titles and brand assets on event screens, presentations, ads and social posts.
03
3D animation
Modelled, lit and rendered scenes, from environments to characters. 3D shows depth, scale and materials, and the camera can move anywhere in the scene.
04
3D product animation and CGI
Photoreal or stylised renders of a product turning, opening or assembling, for launches, e-commerce pages and trade shows.
05
Infographic and data animation
Charts, maps, figures and diagrams that build on screen in step with the voiceover. Used for annual results, research findings and any message that rests on numbers.
06
Character animation
Characters designed and animated for a specific video, giving the story a face the audience can follow.
07
Logo animation and brand idents
Animated logos, stings, lower thirds and end cards that give every video the same signature. Delivered with transparent versions your editors can reuse.
08
Mixed media
Animation layered over live-action footage: tracked graphics, animated callouts and 3D objects composited into a real scene.
Our process from brief to final render
You approve each stage before the next one starts.
01
Brief and technique
Epitome Collective works out with you what the animation needs to show, where it will run and which technique fits. You get a written brief, a technique recommendation and a timeline.
02
Script and storyboard
If the piece needs a script, Epitome Collective's writers draft it first. Each scene is then sketched and timed so you can judge pacing before detailed design starts.
03
Style frames and look development
Epitome Collective designs finished frames showing colour, type and characters, plus materials and lighting for 3D. You approve the look before production.
04
Animation and rendering
Epitome Collective's animators build each scene in the agreed technique. For 3D, scenes are rendered at full quality once the motion is approved.
05
Sound and review
Epitome Collective adds voiceover, music and sound design. Two review rounds are included, one at storyboard and one at animation draft.
06
Delivery
4K masters, cuts in every aspect ratio and source files on request, named and versioned so your team finds the right file.

Animation FAQs
Questions Epitome Collective hears from teams choosing an animation style, scoping 3D work or planning a logo animation.
Should we choose 2D, 3D or motion graphics?
Choose 2D for stories with characters or scenes you may want to change later. Choose 3D when buyers need to see a physical product's shape and materials. Choose motion graphics for data, titles and brand assets. Epitome Collective recommends one at the brief stage and shows style frames before production.
How much longer does 3D take than 2D?
A 60 to 90-second 2D or motion graphics piece takes four to six weeks. 3D and CGI take six to eight weeks because every object is modelled, textured and lit before it moves. Share your launch date at the start and Epitome Collective plans back from it.
Can you work within our brand guidelines?
Yes. Epitome Collective uses your logo treatments, colour palette, typography and any illustration or character libraries you have. If your guidelines don't cover motion, the team extends them with animation rules that match your visual identity.
Can you animate characters or illustrations we already own?
Yes. Epitome Collective animates your existing characters and illustrations in your video, adding new poses and scenes in the same style.
What do we get with a logo animation?
A main animated logo, a short sting for the start or end of videos, and transparent versions for your editors. Sound design can be added. Most logo animations take one to two weeks.
Can you animate charts and data from our reports?
Yes. Send the figures or the report, and Epitome Collective designs the charts in your brand style and animates them to build in step with the voiceover. Your team checks every number at the storyboard stage before animation starts.
How do review rounds work?
Every project includes two review rounds, one at storyboard and one at animation draft. Epitome Collective collects feedback in one place and applies it in full before moving on. Further revisions are quoted at a day rate.
What rights and files do we receive?
You get perpetual rights for the channels agreed in the proposal, such as web, social, paid media and presentations. Source files are available on request, so your team can make small updates without returning to the studio.
Can you build a motion toolkit for our brand?
Yes. Epitome Collective packages your animated logo, transitions, lower thirds and type styles as templates your editors reuse, so every video matches.
Can you add animation to live-action footage we already have?
Yes. Epitome Collective tracks and composites graphics, 3D objects and animated callouts into your footage, then colour-matches them so they sit naturally in the shot.
