FAQs about our Animation Services

  • Once the script is signed off, most videos take 3–5 weeks. Nonprofits, we get it—getting every stakeholder to approve a script can feel like climbing Everest. But with over 10 years of experience working with nonprofits of all sizes, our animation company knows how to make the production process simple. Our studio will help you navigate complexities, streamline feedback, and get everyone on the same page.

    Need it yesterday? Our animation studio offers an express delivery service for hyper-urgent projects—get in touch via the form below.

  • Yes, everything. Our explainer video company doesn’t do templates or cookie-cutter designs. Each video is crafted from scratch by our 2D animation studio, matching your nonprofit’s colours, fonts, and logo. You can even reuse visuals in reports, posters, or presentations. Think of it as branding, supercharged. As an experienced explainer video agency, we’ve delivered everything from playful storytelling to sleek, corporate animations.

    Attention to detail is what makes our animation services a cut above the rest.

  • Nope, we’re a 2D animation studio. We specialise in crafting stunning animated explainer videos that focus on clarity and simplicity. Need complex Pixar-style animation services? That’s not us. But if your project needs a dash of 3D, we can sprinkle in subtle elements for added depth.

    Why overcomplicate? Our 2D animation studio keeps it simple and stunning.

  • We use AI sparingly to time scripts and draft sketches. But the final product is 100% human. Every frame of our explainer videos is hand-crafted by our animation studio’s talented illustrators, and the final narration is recorded by a professional, human voice artist. You’ll even get to pick from a pool of diverse voiceover pitches to match your brand’s tone.

    This personal touch keeps nonprofits coming back to our explainer video agency.

  • Freelancers are brilliant at what they do, but an animated explainer video needs more than one person. From scriptwriting and storyboarding to illustration and voiceovers, creating a professional video is a team sport. At our animation studio, we bring all the pieces together, so you don’t have to juggle multiple freelancers or worry about managing the process.

    We handle it all, so you get top-tier animation services without the hassle.

  • Yes, but not often. While nonprofits are our primary focus, our animation company ocassionaly works with for-profit businesses whose communication goals align with our expertise.

    For example, we’ve created animated explainer videos for John Laing (construction), Reckitt Benckiser (consumer products), and Nuon AI (insurance).

    Nonprofits are our priority, but our animation services are available to businesses as well.

  • Nonprofits have unique challenges, and we should know—Leon! Animation Studio has been navigating their twists and turns for over 12 years.

    From tackling endless stakeholder approvals to crafting scripts that make complex research actually readable, we’ve got the playbook.

    Unlike generalist animation companies, we know non-profits inside out.

    Our 2D animation studio has worked with giants like the UN and NHS—so bureaucracy doesn’t scare us.

    We’re patient, precise, and know how to keep projects moving (even when emails don’t).

    Nonprofits are our world—invite us into yours.
