Help every new employee settle in faster with a clear onboarding animation that shows exactly what is important. Animation Agency creates custom 2D and 3D explainer animations for your onboarding process, from a warm welcome to practical instructions and compliance. We translate policies and culture into understandable visuals that you can use in preboarding emails, your LMS, or intranet. Everything in your branding, personal, and scalable. This makes onboarding consistent, clear, and pleasant for everyone. Do you want to make complex information clear for new employees? See how having an explainer animation made can help.
A strong first impression determines how quickly someone feels at home. With an onboarding video or animation, you immediately provide new colleagues with context: who you are, what you value, and how daily processes work. Animation simplifies complex information, bridges language barriers, and ensures consistent explanation, regardless of who is onboarding. This saves time, reduces questions and errors, and minimizes the risk of early turnover.
In addition, animation is flexible. You can easily add or replace modules when processes change, and create versions for different locations, functions, or languages. Whether you choose 2D or 3D animation, you get a clear, consistent brand story that is always available. Pleasant for new employees, efficient for HR and team leads, and measurable in your LMS.
A selection of the animations we created for our clients. From short explainer videos to technical 3D animation: every project starts with the question of what the viewer needs to understand.
Introduce your brand, mission, values, and key faces in a short, warm welcome. Perfect for preboarding, so someone already feels connected before their first day of work. Showcase the culture, set expectations, and immediately provide a trustworthy impression of the organization. An effective format for this is a short explanimation.
Explain step-by-step how processes, tools, or systems work. Think about registering hours, logging in securely, or requesting leave. Clear visuals and a calm voice-over reduce learning curves and result in fewer support questions in the first few weeks. Learn more about instructional animation for onboarding. Do you work with software or an app? Then consider a SaaS onboarding explainer.
Make policies concrete and understandable. From privacy and codes of conduct to occupational health and safety, emergency response, and safety protocols. Visualizing scenarios ensures information sticks better and guarantees compliance. Useful as a reusable module in your onboarding process and e-learning.
Bring product knowledge, service flows, or machine operation to life with microlearning animations. Offer short, bite-sized lessons that employees can follow in the LMS, including quizzes and certification. Ideal for job-specific onboarding. For product usage, a product instruction animation particularly well. Read more about animation for internal training and onboarding.
Answer frequently asked questions in one clear animation. Where can I find what, how do I plan leave, where is the Emergency Response Plan? A compact FAQ animation lowers barriers and saves time for HR and team leads, without sacrificing friendliness.
We start with a thorough intake to define the goal, target audience, context, and KPIs. Based on this, we develop a creative concept and script that perfectly aligns with your onboarding goals and branding. Next, we create style frames and a storyboard to validate the form, pacing, and tone of voice. This allows you to see what the onboarding animation will look like in advance, enabling us to make targeted adjustments.
Upon approval, we handle voice-over casting and recording, animate in 2D or 3D, and add sound design and subtitles. You will receive clear review sessions and revision rounds to ensure everything is accurate both in terms of content and visuals. We deliver in all necessary formats for intranet, LMS, email, or narrowcasting, including short versions and language variants if you wish. Fast, personal, and with an eye for detail.

The investment depends on length, complexity, 2D or 3D animation, number of languages, and number of versions. As a market indication, a custom 2D onboarding animation of 60 to 90 seconds often costs between €3,500 and €7,500. For 3D animation, this typically ranges between €6,000 and €15,000, depending on the level of detail and assets. Multilingualism, additional modules, or illustrations can influence the price. We are happy to collaborate on smart bundles per subject, allowing for modular expansion.
The turnaround time averages two to six weeks from script approval, depending on feedback rounds and scope. Do you have a hard go-live or a start date for a group of new employees? We schedule the process tightly around your deadline.
That varies by goal, style, and length. For onboarding, we often see 60 to 120 seconds. Expect a market-standard range of a few thousand euros for 2D, and higher for 3D. After the intake, you will receive a transparent price indication with options.
For a minute of 2D animation, you typically end up paying between 3,000 and 6,000 euros, depending on complexity and customization. For 3D, this is higher. Includes script, storyboard, voice-over, and sound design. We also offer package prices for multiple modules.
The 4 Cs are Compliance, Clarification, Culture, and Connection. With animation, you make policies and safety concrete, role expectations clear, culture tangible, and connection personal. This way, you support the entire employee onboarding process, from preboarding to the first few months.
ChatGPT does not create animations itself. However, AI assists with idea development, structure, scripts, and voice-over texts. The production of 2D and 3D animations is carried out using specialized tools and experienced designers and animators to ensure professional quality and a consistent brand image.
