The brief builder walks you through the same questions we'd ask on a kick-off call — what it's for, who it's for, and the one thing it has to land. Answer what you can; we can work from as little as a list of key points.

We are regularly told by our clients about failed and time-wasted attempts to build their own 2D animated video using DIY software or heard from companies who have massively paid over the odds by agencies for poor-quality video productions. We understand your 2D video needs to look professional and should fit your exact marketing goals. This is why Squideo carefully crafts each 2D video to be unique for your business, without a sizeable price tag.
I’ve used squideo to create a informative quick intro into my business for customers to understand easily what we do and can offer. This has been invaluable as it’s so much quicker to watch a video than read. And it has early signs of showing higher engagement along my socials. Thanks guys top work.
We recently used Squideo for a video project and we are incredibly pleased with the result. The team at Squideo have been nothing but helpful, and we would praise them highly on their turn around time and efforts to fit work into their busy schedules. We'd like to give a special mention to Callum who worked hard to make our project a success, and for whom nothing was ever too much trouble. We would highly recommend Squideo and look forward to working with them again in the future.
Squideo is an excellent company and very easy to work with. Jade and Callum handled my video production and they were great from beginning to end. Jade listened very well and was able to create an impressive first draft from just one initial conversation on the phone, then Callum translated her instructions into a very nice video. They were also very accommodating with making the initial edits and understood exactly what I needed changed. Squideo will be my video production company for life!
Excellent video created - thanks for all your help and support with it! Highly recommend
Squideo are a fantastic company to work with! They're a very friendly, creative and efficient team that produced a brilliant animation for us - Highlight
I worked with the team at Squideo to produce our first explainer video; they made the process simple and I am very pleased with the results; so much so that we are just getting started on our next video. If you want an explainer video that won't break the bank then talk to Squideo.
Quick, efficient and very professional results at a great price.
Squideo have been great to work with, right from the first discovery call, they instantly grasped a difficult concept. Throughout the project they had a quick turnaround for changes, constant communication around deadline and when to expect updates. Overall Squideo provided us with an all round great service and high quality videos that our clients were very happy with.
We worked with Squideo on a number of projects on the pre opening of the Arena last summer and continue to do so. Such a creative, friendly team who put everything into each project. Going above and beyond each time. We've had a great response from each video the team created for us... from the security information which we use before each show to announcements for new events. Looking forward to continuing to work with the team for more future projects - Bonus Arena, Hull
Incredible Value for Money. We found this company through Twitter and contacted them for some advice which they were more than happy to give. The team have been helpful, professional and honest throughout and once we received our videos we were so happy with the quality. There was a slight worry the quality wouldn't be as good as expected due to the price being so low but we have been blown away both times with the effort put in and the ease to amend our products. Can't thank them enough, well done Fifty Squid. You're a model business! With Thanks, Easirent Car Hire
Great team to work with alongside being creative in their video production. Full support from the team at Ardana.

Our 2D videos bring to life your products or services or can be used to explain sometimes difficult concepts. We use animation to capture the attention of your audience and potential customers. With the use of dynamic animation, interesting characters, and vibrant colours we can provide an enticing 2D video that people will engage with and will help you achieve the goals you set.
2D videos can work very well for businesses with the addition of videos usually having an almost immediate impact on conversions. This means a boost in signs ups, sales and whatever conversion targets you want to set. Customers are drawn to video far more than they are to text and this makes a 2D video with great visual storytelling a great way of boosting engagement. An attractive and memorable 2D video production boosts your brand image and it can even go viral on social media.
2D videos are cost-effective because they work and give you a good return on your investment. Just because they are more simplistic than a 3D video animation, this does not make them any less effective, even though they can be produced at the fraction of the cost. 2D videos are best suited to providing an explainer video for a company, product or service. 2D videos can use custom or stock graphics and can be fully customised to reflect a company’s brand. You can decide how far you want to go with your video production depending on your requirements and budget. As a highly rated 2D video production company in Hull, we work with a range of companies big and small to produce videos that transform how people see and respond to your company. We always have your goals and strategy in mind so that we produce 2D video content that will stand out from the crowd and bring you results.
