PUBLISHED PRICE — MOTION GRAPHICS
How much does a motion graphics video cost?
€10 a second. A 30-second film: €300. A fully staged one-minute film: €600. The rates are public, the totals are already worked out, and the quote does not move afterwards.
€10a second — a 30-second film: €300
Let's talk about your filmThe price, in plain numbers
NO ARITHMETIC LEFT TO YOUOne logic: we build by the second, we charge by the second. No entry fee, no staging fee, no tiers — the price of a film is its length times a single number. That number follows the work asked for, never the length.
| Your film | How it adds up | You pay |
|---|---|---|
| 30 seconds — essential film | 30 s × €10 | €300 |
| 45 seconds — essential film | 45 s × €10 | €450 |
| 60 seconds — essential film | 60 s × €10 | €600 |
| 90 seconds — essential film | 90 s × €10 | €900 |
| 60 seconds — signature: 3D, recurring character | 60 s × €15 | €900 |
| 90 seconds — signature: 3D, recurring character | 90 s × €15 | €1,350 |
The creative directions, the writing, the voice and the visual system built for your film are included in the second — they are never billed separately. The signature rate covers the heavier work: 3D volume, generated imagery, a character that returns from one film to the next.
What it costs elsewhere
THE 2026 BENCHMARKSThe market quotes by the minute and rarely publishes anything at all. Here are the public benchmarks, and where we sit among them.
| Where | The 2026 benchmark | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Studio average, European market | €2,000 to €2,900 a minute | down roughly 20% since 2024 |
| Published rate cards — 2D | €300 to €3,900 a film | the spread comes from the tier, not the length |
| Published rate cards — 3D | €6,000 to €16,000 a film | the top of the market |
| Agencies, all tiers | $1,500 to $12,000 and up | rarely published before a quote |
| 24 Studio — a one-minute film | €600 a film | public, and you can work it out before writing to us |
We sit above the entry tier and below the B2B agency standard. That is deliberate: we do not sell the cheapest film, we sell the film that looks like your brand, delivered in days. On this market, costs discovered along the way account for 20 to 40% of a budget — here, what is not in the quote does not exist.
What moves the price
FOUR LEVERS, NO MOREThe length
The only truly linear lever. Every second counts because every second is built — frame by frame, 24 of them a second.
The staging
Creative directions, writing, voice, visual system: all of it sits inside the second. No entry fee is added to the total.
Volume and characters
3D, or a character who comes back from one film to the next: €15 a second instead of €10.
The versions
Another language, a vertical shape, a different ending: €2 a second per version, €1 from five versions on. A one-minute film in a second language: €120.
What is included
WRITTEN IN THE QUOTE, HELD AT DELIVERY- Two or three creative directions drawn for you, within 48 hours

- The voice, the music and the sound design
- Your product screens, read from your real interface — never invented
- Every delivery format agreed at the start

What is quoted separately
A rush job: +20%. A language or a format added after the fact is a variation, at €2 a second. Nothing else turns up at the end of the project.

Questions about motion graphics pricing
STRAIGHT ANSWERS- Why price by the second rather than by the minute?
- Because nobody orders exactly one minute. The market advertises €2,000 to €2,900 a minute, then bills a 38-second film as a full one. By the second, you pay for the length of your film — and you know the total before you even write to us.
- Is motion graphics the same as animation?
- Buyers use both words for the same thing: a film drawn and moved rather than filmed. Some studios price the two differently. We do not: €10 a second either way, €15 when there is 3D or a recurring character.
- Is a 30-second film enough?
- Often, yes. A 30 to 45-second explainer makes a product clear to someone who has never heard of you. The real question is never how long, but what someone should understand by the end — and the answer rarely needs more than 90 seconds.
- Are the voice and the music included?
- Yes. Voice, music and sound effects sit inside the per-second price. A silent film is not a film.
- What if I want the film in another language?
- Every extra version costs €2 a second: a one-minute film in a second language comes to €120. From five versions on, €1 a second.
- What happens if I don't like the creative direction?
- You receive two or three of them, drawn for you, before a single frame moves. You pick one, or cross two. We only commit to the film once the direction is chosen.
