Elevate Your Brand with Stop Motion Animation: Not Just for Social Media
Ever wondered why some brands pop more than others on your feed?
Is it magic?
Or is it perhaps… stop motion animation?
Stop right there, and let’s move into the world of stop motion animation for products, and why your business should harness that power.
Why Is Animation So Expensive?
We all love a good, smooth animation, but why does it often come with a price tag that could rival your grandma’s antique collection?
One word: Labor.
When we talk stop motion, each second of animation requires 12 separate images that show for only .02 seconds—that’s right, 12!
Every frame of those 24 frames per second is individually captured, edited, and aligned for color and crop. That’s dedication and craftsmanship rolled into one.
The costs rack up because of the meticulous frame by frame editing needed to ensure the product and animation looks its best.
How Much Do Product Animations Cost?
My product photography and stop-motion animation packages start at just under $2,000.
Each project is unique, so final costs will vary. For that fee you may be able to get several simple stop motion clips.
If you need a complex stop motion clip, it may cost more. Or you might get a mixture, depending on your needs.
When you consider the amount of effort that goes into making each frame a work of art, you realize it’s not just a cost—it’s an investment in high-quality visual marketing.
Is Stop Motion Cheaper Than Traditional Animation?
In the creative field, cheaper doesn’t always mean better. Sometimes it means compromising on the quality or the storytelling aspect of the animation.
While certain types of animation can be more affordable, they may not offer the custom touch that stop motion provides.
Also, considering visual marketing statistics, quality visual content can significantly boost user engagement and conversion rates.

How Long Does it Take to Create a Stop Motion Clip?
Given that each second requires 12 separate frames, expect a timeline that matches the attention to detail.
Sometimes a single second could take hours—or more—to perfect.
You’re not just paying for a clip; you’re paying for a marketing masterpiece.
