What styles of animation do you create?

From photorealistic CGI to stylised 2D motion design, character work to product renders. If it moves, we can make it.

How long does an animation project take?

Most projects run 4–8 weeks, depending on complexity and scope. A large scale project with multiple environments and complex simulations can take up to 12 weeks. We can scale our team to meet tight deadlines if needed.

Do you provide scriptwriting and storyboarding?

Yes. We can take projects from initial idea through script, storyboard, design, animation, and delivery, or pick up at any stage if you already have a concept.

Do you work with agencies as well as brands?

Absolutely. We regularly partner with agencies to deliver high-quality animation under their creative direction, or step in as a full production partner when needed.

What does an animation project cost?

The cost depends on the scope — things like length, style, level of detail, and how many deliverables you need. Before we start, you'll know exactly what's included, what it takes to get there, and how it meets your objectives. No hidden extras, no nasty surprises.

What is the difference between 2D and 3D animation?

A 2D animation only moves vertically and horizontally, whereas an object designed using a 3D animation process can move through the depth of its background. Most 3D animation is done through computer generation, while the majority of 2D animation is completed in illustrated form.

Is CGI animation the same as 3D animation?

Yes, broadly. CGI stands for computer-generated imagery and is the wider term for any visuals created digitally using computer software. The terms are often used interchangeably.

Do you only create 3D animation?

No. While 3D CGI is a core strength, we also produce 2D animation, motion graphics, character animation, and mixed-media work, depending on what's right for your project.

What if I don't have a script or concept yet?

No problem. We can help shape your idea from the ground up: researching, scripting, and storyboarding to create a clear foundation before production starts.

Who do you typically work with?

Our clients range from global brands to startups, agencies, and non-profits. Clients include Sony, Mercedes-AMG, Coca-Cola, BBC, McLaren, Samsung, Harrods, and Microsoft. What they all share is ambition — they want content that cuts through and makes an impact.

Why choose animation instead of live action?

Animation gives you freedom: to simplify complexity, visualise the invisible, and push beyond physical limits. It can be more cost-effective, more scalable, and more memorable than live filming, depending on your goals.

Do you use AI in your animation process?

Yes, when it helps us move faster or smarter. AI supports tasks like generating style references, refining scripts, or automating repetitive production steps. But the creative heart of every project — storytelling, design, performance, emotion — comes from people.

Can you repurpose animation content for different channels?

Yes. We design animations to work across multiple channels — social, web, broadcast, live events — optimised for the specs and attention spans of each.

Why choose Frantic over another animation studio?

Because we don't just make things move, we make them work. Our focus is always on your business objective: sell, explain, train, persuade. We've worked with Sony, Mercedes-AMG, Coca-Cola, and Harrods from our London and Oxford animation studios.

What styles of animation do you create?

What's the difference between 2D and 3D?

2D animation moves vertically and horizontally. 3D creates depth and physical presence. Most of our work is 3D CGI, though we do both depending on what's right for the project.

Is CGI animation the same as 3D?

CGI stands for computer-generated imagery and is the broader term. 3D animation is a type of CGI. The terms are often used interchangeably.

Why choose Frantic over another studio?

We think like a creative agency and deliver like a production studio. We push briefs further, move faster than most, and care about the outcome as much as you do.

Over 150 brands
have been Frantic.

You’ve got a brief worth obsessing over.

A launch, a campaign, a film that has to be extraordinary.

That’s exactly the kind of brief Frantic was made for.

A CGI studio that thinks like a creative agency and delivers like a production machine.

Twenty-plus years of CGI animation and production work for brands who needed it to be brilliant. Sony. Disney. Coca-Cola. Samsung. BBC. McLaren.

The brief arrives. The obsession begins.

Relentless

creativity.

We don’t wait for inspiration. We make it happen. Every day, for every client, on every frame.

Obsessive

craft.

The frantic pursuit of the perfect frame, the right light, the ideal timing. That obsession is what separates good from unforgettable.

Frantic

speed.

Frantic means urgent. We thrive on the brief that demands both brilliance and pace. That’s when we’re at our best.

Fearless

ambition.

You won’t find us asking whether something is possible. That question doesn’t fit in a frantic studio.

How it works

A process built for
ambition under pressure.

01. Understand

We get inside
the brief.

Before a single frame fires up, we dig into your brand, your audience, and what success actually looks like. Not just what you asked for. What you need.

02. Concept

We make the idea bigger.

Scripts, storyboards, style frames. We find the version of your brief that earns attention, then plan exactly how to build it. Creative direction that aligns with commercial outcomes.

03. Build

We make it extraordinary.

3D modelling, texturing, lighting, animation. Every frame crafted with precision. Complex simulations, liquid dynamics, product reveals. Nothing is off the table.

04. Deliver

Delivered. Brilliantly.

Broadcast to social, 18 language versions to single hero assets. Everything formatted, everything ready, everything exactly as it should be.

What we do

End to end.
Any brief. Any scale.

Product launches

Concept to launch, we make your product look extraordinary. Real, pre-production or purely imagined, we make it the hero.

Brand campaigns

We develop the idea and build it. Films, stills, motion, whatever it takes to make your brand the one nobody forgets.

Social & digital content

CGI animation and motion design that earns attention. Every format. Every platform. Unmistakably Frantic.

Retail & experiential

FOOH and CGI brand moments that make people question what’s real. We did it for Harrods. We can do it for you.

Science, medical & technology

We find the story inside the science and make it visible. Mechanisms, molecules and invisible processes transformed into something genuinely beautiful.

Broadcast & OOH

CGI built to be seen at scale. The kind of work that makes people stop what they’re doing and watch.
