Let’s keep it fun and fresh! We don’t do it all, but what we do—oh, we nail it. Stuck with an idea? Toss it our way, and let’s whip up something amazing together!
Our animation Process
Animation isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula—it shifts with every project, studio, style, and technique. But hey, we’ve got a solid roadmap that keeps the magic flowing smoothly!
1 . Briefing
We start by diving into your wildest ideas, dream audience, and creative vision—all while keeping time and budget in check. This playful mix helps us craft the perfect script, treatment, and style frames just for you!
2. Scripting
Whether you bring your own script or cook one up with us, you’ll always have the chance to tweak, refine, and give it the green light. This is the first big thumbs-up before we dive into voice-over recording!
3. Style Frames
Style frames are fully illustrated snapshots that capture the look and feel of the final animation. We bring your vision to life by blending your brand guidelines with a touch of our creative magic—ensuring a style that grabs attention and sparks excitement!
4. Voice Over
We’ll help you find the perfect voice to bring your brand to life while staying within budget. Whether you have a voice artist in mind or want to keep it authentic with your CEO, we’re here to make it happen!
5. Animation
Once the script, style frames, and voice-over get the green light, the animation magic begins! This stage can take a few weeks, depending on the voice-over length—so locking in approvals early keeps things smooth and speedy.
6. Audio Mix
We polish it all up by adding sound effects, smoothing out the voice-over, and blending in the perfect music track—bringing your animation to life with rhythm and energy!
7. Sign Off
Your animated video is exported to match your technical specs and delivered, ready to shine!
8. Chillax
Then, we can kick back and sip on our fabulous cup of ginger tea!
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about our motion design services. The things people ask us before we start working together.
What does Gillu Studio do?
Gillu Studio is a motion design and animation studio based in Gurugram, India, working with clients worldwide. We make motion design, 2D animation, illustration systems, Lottie and Rive animation, brand visuals and murals.
What kind of animation do you make?
Product videos, explainer videos, mixed-media animation, Lottie and Rive animation for apps and websites, UI micro-interactions, motion series, illustration systems and hand-painted murals.
How does our animation process run?
The animation process runs in eight steps: briefing, scripting, style frames, voice over, animation, audio mix, sign off, and then a cup of ginger tea. You approve the script and style frames before animation begins, so there are no surprises late on.
How long does an animation take?
It depends on scope and where the animation process starts. Once the script, style frames and voice over are approved, the animation stage usually takes a few weeks, and the length of the voice over drives most of that. Approving early keeps things moving.
What does it cost?
Every project is scoped from the brief, so budget and timeline are part of the first conversation rather than a fixed price list. Tell us what you have in mind and we will tell you honestly what is possible within it.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. We are based in Gurugram, Haryana and work with clients across the world, remotely, in English.
Should we use Lottie or Rive?
Lottie is ideal for lightweight looping motion and micro-interactions that must load fast. Rive suits interactive, state-driven animation. We help you pick during briefing.
Do you make tools as well as animation?
Yes. Motion Bridge is our AI plugin for After Effects and Video Bridge is our AI plugin for Premiere Pro. Both are pay once, own forever, and you bring your own API key.
How do we start?
Fill in the project brief, which takes about three minutes, or book a 30-minute call. No pitch decks, just a real conversation about the work.
Where does the animation process start for a new project?
The animation process starts with your project brief — goals, audience, references and timeline. From there we script, design style frames and move into production, keeping you in the loop at every step of the animation process.
