A friend asked: How much does one minute of two-dimensional animation cost? Let me popularize it for everyone.

Prices are determined by different designers and design companies. The requirements and difficulty of the animation are also major factors that affect the price. It only costs a few hundred yuan to produce a rough two-dimensional animation, while it costs thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan per second to produce an excellent animation. The reason why 2D animation charges are so high is mainly because the animation production process is complicated.
 
The 2D animation production process is basically a traditional animation process;
Core part: Scripting (scripts can be written or sketched) - designing shots based on the script.
Presentation part: Draw the original storyboard of the animated film based on the sketch.
Animation part: draw animation, color, add special effects and post-production based on the original image.
Then output the entire animation.

The main work is in hand-painted original paintings, color matching, post-production, etc., which requires slow work and meticulous work. Of course the effect is also very good. This is why 2D animation is billed by the minute or even by the second. As the saying goes, one price, one product, if you want the best animation effect, you have to polish it carefully.
 
At the same time, the cost of 2D animation is also related to the duration of the animation, the production team, regional differences, and other reasons, such as the need for dubbing by well-known voice actors, unique sound effects, or expedited production, etc.

To sum up, the production cost of 2D animation is a comprehensive result of many factors. Customers need to fully consider these factors when choosing a production company and determining the budget.
