The techniques of 2D ANIMATION
There are two ways to animate characters in 2d animation.
Traditional animation redraws the character periodically, creating an illusion of movement.
Puppet animation (sometimes called cut-out) breaks up characters into parts so that these can be rotated or replaced in order to depict movement.
Of course, non-character elements such as type or graphics can also be animated! This is called motion graphics.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Costs in 2d animation can vary tremendously. Traditional animation is labor-intensive and tends to be a more expensive option, but puppet-style or cut-out animation can be quite economic.
Again, this varies greatly depending on the technique and length. At IdeaRocket, we generally deliver our 2d animated videos 5 weeks after script approval, but that time can often be shortened depending on project complexity and staffing availability.
If you don’t want your brand to come off as too playful, you can easily pick a character style that is more buttoned up. This might be a sophisticated New Yorker-style look, or perhaps an elegant and contemporary iconic style. Motion graphics (animation without characters) is also an option.
