Animated music videos

Animated music videos that give a song its own world

For singers, bands, composers and labels: a visual world designed around your song, animated to its rhythm and finished by the studio whose animated song-films have passed a million views.

What we make

Animated music video services

An animated music video can show what a camera cannot: the inside of a feeling, a myth, a memory. These are the ones we make.

Story music videos

A short film told through the song, with characters, a world and an ending.

Devotional song-films

Bhajans, aartis and devotional songs given cinematic imagery drawn from scripture.

Lyric and visualiser films

Animated lyric videos and looping visualisers for streaming platforms.

Hybrid music videos

Live-action performance blended with animation, for artists who want both.

Album worlds

A connected visual identity across several songs, so an album feels like one work.

Short cuts for social

Vertical clips cut from the main film for Reels, Shorts and stories.

Why choose an animated music video

An animated music video can go where a camera cannot: into myth, memory, a feeling or a world that exists only in the song. It is free of the limits of location, weather and cast schedules, so the film can be as big as the music.

The studio writes and produces songs as well as films, which is why every animated music video here is cut to the phrasing of the track. You receive a master for YouTube and streaming, plus vertical cuts for Reels and Shorts.

Why one director

The director understands the music

The studio writes and produces its own songs, so an animated music video here is cut to the phrasing of the music, not laid over it.

One director designs, animates, edits and grades the whole film, so the look holds from the first frame to the last.

How it runs

How an animated music video is made

  • Listen: the song, the lyric and what you want the audience to feel.
  • Concept and storyboard: the visual idea and every shot, timed to the track.
  • Design: characters, world and colour approved before animation.
  • Animation: reviewed at the animatic and first cut.
  • Delivery: the master for YouTube and streaming, plus vertical cuts.

Every stage has a named review gate. See the full process.

Questions

Questions about animated music videos

How much does an animated music video cost?

It depends on the length of the song, the style, how many characters appear and how much of the video is fully animated. You receive clear options with a written quote, rather than a single number.

How long does an animated music video take?

Usually a few weeks from an approved storyboard, depending on length and style. The delivery date is agreed in writing at the start.

Can you animate a song in any language?

Yes. We work with songs in any language, and can deliver subtitled lyric versions so the song reaches listeners who do not speak it.

Do I keep the rights to the video?

Usage rights are set out in writing before work begins and released on full payment.
