THE MAGIC OF
traditional animation
There’s no denying that hand drawn animation is hugely effective, tried and tested. After all – it’s been around a long time. It’s the oldest style of animation there is, existing decades before even computers were invented.
Dragonfly produce hand drawn animated videos that are emotionally relevant and will engage with your audience in deeper, more meaningful ways. We can bring unique characters to life, construct an entire universe, create a species of bizarre creatures – show the inner workings of a volcano or the depths of the ocean.

Everything starts with a sketch and a scribble. A storyboard is the beginning of a visual narrative for your brand.
Worth the Effort
GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT
Beautiful, nostalgic and intricate animations often come out of a hand drawn process. This process is obviously incredibly time consuming; an animator will draw all the assets and every frame by hand. This can be a long and pain-staking process, demanding a huge amount of time and a high level of skill from an animator.
For this reason, hand drawn animations don’t come cheap – or fast. However, if you’re willing to part with the cash and invest your time, hand drawn animations are often some of the most beautiful and striking out there.
