    FAQ about stop motion

    How to order stop motion animation?

    • ► Call +38 063 073 25 93 or write to one of the messengers – Viber, Telegram, WhatsApp, or leave a request in the form on the website.
    • ► We will discuss and record the technical specifications for the stop motion video with you. All wishes count and matters.
    • ► We will study the platform where the animated video will be placed. If it is an online store, we will take into account the site design, background, and style of presentation of the material to create a video that will organically fit into the site.
    • ► We agree on the cost of the shooting. If necessary, we conclude a contract for the provision of services.

    Where is the filming taking place?

    Most of the filming takes place at Red Cucumber Production.
    We have professional lighting for stop motion animation. We use Canon cameras with high resolution, good color reproduction and L-class optics – the top lenses in the Canon line. An assortment of colored paper and vinyl backgrounds, a variety of shooting props, auxiliary accessories and rigs – all this is available for use and is included in the price of services.

    All shooting is done directly through a computer – the result and color reproduction are under control.

    If necessary, we can rent any other studio or conduct an outdoor shoot, at your location.

    What if I'm not from Kyiv?

    If your product can be transported, send it by a convenient postal service. It doesn’t matter which city or country you are in. After the goods arrive, we carefully unpack and carefully inspect each item. We prepare all items for shooting: we remove dust and lint. We iron or steam clothes, remove threads. For shooting jewelry, we use special polishing wipes to make each piece of jewelry look better. After the animation is finished, we carefully pack the products and return them (if possible/appropriate).

    How long do I have to wait for the final video?

    There is no simple answer. It all depends on the complexity of the animation and the amount of post-production work.

    Typically, not very complex videos up to 30 seconds long require about 10-14 working days for the entire creation cycle. For complex shoots, the execution time is discussed on a case-by-case basis.

    What am I paying for?

    Ultimately, you are paying for a video that will increase your orders and help your business grow.


    But, let’s take a look “behind the scenes” of creating animation. The first stage is understanding. It is important for us to find out your needs in order to be able to fully satisfy them and effectively organize our work.

    • ► Creating an animation starts with a brief. It is important for us to know how you plan to use the animation, what ideas you need to convey, and who your target audience is.
    • ► We consider in advance (based on references): style, angles, props, post-production.
    • ► We confirm the shooting date and duration.
    • ► We agree on the cost of the work, you make a prepayment.

    The next stage is preparation for the shoot. After approving the shooting concept, it takes time to prepare:

    • ► Collection / purchase / creation of props.
    • ► Selection of models.
    • ► Choosing suitable locations for filming.
    • ► Involvement of specialists – stylist, set designer, puppeteer, craftsman, etc.

    The third stage is the actual stop motion shooting. We understand that your product or service is unique and it is important to show why a potential client should choose you. We are fully creative, adhering to the brief.

    The final, fourth stage is post-production. All the material you have selected is sent for processing, editing and mixing of sound tracks. That is, all the necessary manipulations with the video take place and at the end you get a captivating animation that sells!


    By the way, we store all finished videos for an unlimited time. So if you suddenly lose something, feel free to contact us for your videos.

    What is the price of a stop motion video?

    The basic price range for creating animated videos is given in the table above. Since filming can vary significantly in the complexity of animations and scenery, labor intensity, and creative component, the final cost of the project depends on these factors.

    Is there a discount for creating multiple videos?

    Of course! For package offers we make an individual calculation – we promise you will like it! On average, the price of animation is reduced by 10% or more.

    Licensed use of animation and music

    When you apply for a filming service, you pay for the work of creating an animation. However, the property rights to the video and music and the terms of use are stipulated at the stage of concluding a cooperation agreement. We reserve the right to publish the animation in the portfolio and social networks (in case of objection from the client, the cost of the work may increase).
